• Resumen

  • This study examines how the ideologies of the teaching of Ukrainian have shifted on the spectrum of purity/impurity since the beginning of the full-scale war. It analyzes Soviet teacher education materials and textbooks, Ukrainian textbooks, assessment materials, and online language courses before and after the 2022 full-scale invasion. It asks how state and non-state language education institutions approached learners and new speakers of Ukrainian before and after February 2022. The analysis is rooted in historical institutionalist scholarship that considers language ideologies contingent on institutional legacies. It shows that the purist language ideology in Ukraine can be traced to the Soviet Union and that formal language-teaching institutions have been slow to overcome it. It also shows that the full-scale war has weakened purism in non-state Ukrainian language teaching, where overcoming Soviet institutional legacies was easier. Increasing tolerance to nonstandard language signals increasing openness to the diverse ways Ukrainian can be spoken and Ukrainian identity performed
