Some ukranians as they call themselves are uniates from former austirian or polish territories. They are no way people of russian culture. But some "ukranians" who from former NovvoRossia are just southern russians. They wouldn't never become as those first. More ukrnazi propaganda will try to convert them then bigger will be boom later. More force will be used against them bigger will be hate back. Those people withstanded soviet propaganda, ukrnazi propaganda is much lesser then that.
So much nonsense, I don't know where to begin. For one, why would you call those in NovoRussia southern Russians if from the time the region was first was colonized in 18-19th centuries up till now, ethnic Ukrainians were a majority? Or is it the "Shiroka zemlia moya rodnaya" complex,- everything is Russian?:)

Now I don't know where to start:)).

Firstly, NovvoRossia was conqured by russian troops. Not "ukranian" or else. Wasn't it?

So since it was conquered by russian army then terrirory was populated by Ekaterina the Great.
People for population was mixed. Some are from some regions of Velikorossia(Great Russia) and from Malayarossia, Bellorossia and so on.
SO it is new region whose population maybe called as southern russians hence they are far from uniates of Western Ukraine then neoboring russian population.

Today there is attempt to make them ukarinians by forceful ukrainization. The result will be negative for sure. Those people overlived soveitization already. Ukrainization will be easier to overcome.

As far as I know the use of russian language increases on those territory not decreases as it supposed to in spite of ukrainization.
It is direct cause that people oppose forceful ukrainization.

So let live then let see:).
