Episode Why We Write russia in Lowercase
Bottom Line: After nearly thirteen years of war and atrocities witnessed from Bucha and Izium to Yahidne and Trostianets’, russia, moscow and related forms are written in lowercase as a deliberate Ukrainian editorial convention. Its basis is Protocol №83 of September 15, 2023, in which the legally empowered National Commission for Standards of the State Language permitted such spellings in unofficial texts. The form is an act of linguistic sovereignty and symbolic demotion of the aggressor, consciously carried into English, never a typographical error.
