The Valuev Circular

On July 30, 1863, the “Valuev Circular” was adopted, banning religious and educational literature in the Ukrainian language.

This is a historical monument to the “friendship of peoples” and at the same time a pointer to the direction of movement (fuck you) to the fighters for the rights of the Russian language in Ukraine.

“There never was, is not, and cannot be any special Malorussian language.”

“Only such works in this language that belong to the field of fine literature are allowed to be printed.”

As a result, only 23 Ukrainian books were published in seven years – as many as in the single year of 1862.

Sunday schools stopped operating in Ukraine.

Many Ukrainophiles were arrested and exiled, such as Pavlo Chubynsky, the author of the text “Ukraine’s glory and freedom have not yet perished,” which became Ukraine’s anthem.

Kostomarov: “Malorussian literature ceased to exist in Russia.”

The circular permitted the publication of artistic books in Ukrainian.

This was “corrected” in 1876 by Alexander II’s “Ems Ukaz.”

The decree banned in Ukrainian:

– Books,

– Plays,

– Sheet music,

– Concerts,

– Teaching.

Sheet music!

The “brothers” scorched EVERYTHING Ukrainian with a red-hot iron.

In 1905, the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences sent a report to the government stating that Ukrainian is an independent language. The circular and decree were repealed.

In 2022, Putin wanted to “finally solve the Ukrainian question.”

The Ukrainian language and culture survived then. Ukraine will survive now as well.
