A campaign to “de-Russify” Ukraine is under way.

The backlash against Russian culture in Ukraine had been picking up steam since 2014, when Russia occupied the Donbas and Crimea. But Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, together with the horrors committed by its troops, has sent it into overdrive.

De-Russification has mostly been a bottom-up process or a matter of individual preference, as opposed to government policy.
