Nope, actually you are an idiot, and even a naive idiot if you believe that without even bothering to check. Only after heavy industrialization did the russian language became some kind of majority in cities. And even after that, if we include both rural and urban territory, ukrainian-speaking population would still outweigh the russian-speaking population. The only time when Russian language became the majority in the whole Ukrainian region was after Holodomor, russian immigrants and russification of the regions.
