There seems to be some sort of a psychic need to outdo Russians at every turn. A name like 'Volodomir' is likely part of that; this hoho claim of too many Russian words for lying and truth could also be part of it.
The idea of wanting to ban the use of Russian in Ukraine is part of the same thing.
The good news about the Ukrainian language is that in 20 years from now, it will be gone, along with all the other dead languages that small nations still use for anything. TV and the internet will have killed it just like they have killed the Southern accent in Texas. Russian will still be here.
When Europeans first got to Australia, from one valley to the next to the next, as I’ve read it, there were several hundred languages, no two of which resembled each other any more than English resembles Chinese or Japanese. Now they all just speak English... That has to make life easier.
