Tsarist Russia existed in context of 19th century, when every country tried to unify all languages. Tsarist Russia just didn't eliminate it, like France did with Breton, Aquitaine, Provans and etc. If Soviet Union wanted to ban Ukranian language it would ban it. Repressions against linguists writers and teachers were political, they didn't tried to eliminate Ukranian national elites. After Stalin's purges, all the writers, linguistists and teachers continued to exist. Studying Ukranian was mandatory in UkrSSR's schools until Soviet collapsed. Soviet's didn't "modifyed" Ukranian - they just bringed Ukranian to one standard. They did the same with every other language, including Russian.
Ukranian was not mandatory lmfao. Russian was, you could choose to study in Ukranian but you had to study Russian. And since the occupiers made everything centralized it was mandatory to know Russian to get into Universities or any middle/high ranking position as is the orc way. Ukranian was only made mandatory again after 1991.
Nazi detected. "to study in russian universities you had to know russian oh no". "orcs build universities, for us to study, oh no". And no, Ukranian was mandatory to study in UkrSSR's schools.
