During the Soviet era, the language policy of the state was aimed at unifying the entire space and subordinating it to the metropolis - that is, Russia. Because of this, the authorities actively contributed to the rapprochement of the Ukrainian language with Russian.

In Ukrainian, a product ready for sale has its own special name - “kram”. And the place where you can buy such a product is, accordingly, called “kramnitsa”. However, during the Soviet era, this quite familiar word for denoting a place of trade gradually replaced “store”.

Derived from the Slavic root " It has a completely “legitimate” synonym of Latin origin “percentage”, and they can be used in parallel. However, during the Soviet era, the original Ukrainian word was replaced by one that is present in Russian dictionaries.

Similar to the case with “vіdsotkom” and “percent”, in the Ukrainian language there are two equivalent words to designate a conventional plan of any area or surface - “map” and “map”. In Russian, only the second option is found. Therefore, the word “mapa” was actively squeezed out of the Ukrainian lexicon during the Soviet era..

This word means the cause or driving force of any phenomenon or process. During the Soviet period, it was often replaced by " Now "

A very logical and natural word for the Ukrainian language, denoting a set of movements – “rukhіv”, which allow you to strengthen the body and develop its physical qualities. And not as ambiguous as “charging”, but not in the Russian dictionary, for which it suffered at one time.
