title: LINGUISTIC POLICY AND THE SECURING OF NATIONAL IDENTITY IN TODAY’S SOCIETY. THE UKRAINIAN CASE
abstract: Our study takes into consideration the consequences of the linguistic legislation adopted by Kiev in recent years in order to secure the identity of the existing national minorities. It also tackles the potential conflicts between the Ukraine and its neighbouring states with regard to the observing of the cultural rights of the minority groups. The issue of the use of regional languages fits into the category of the highly ideological and politicized matters in the Ukraine.&#x0D;
