As the second largest Socialist Republic of the U.S.S.R.. the 5 million citizens of the Ukraine comprise the strongest. most determined. and most outspoken voice of nationalism in the Soviet Union. After many years of Soviet domination. Ukrainians have fought to preserve their own culture and traditions. The Soviets. however. have imposed not only communism. but also Russian national supremacy on these captive peoples. Today in the Soviet Union. Ukrainians are denied the right to emigrate even though they are denied full citizenship. The Soviet Government has made it illegal to teach either the Ukrainian language or culture in Ukrainian schools. The Soviets allow only the Russian language and Russian culture to be legally taught to Ukrainian children.
