Before Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the language issue in Ukraine was central to the geopolitical plans of Russian politicians. One of these plans was to use manipulative technologies to create a new artificial language and a new people in Zakarpattia. Threatening trends towards the disintegration of the Ukrainian ethnic and linguistic space were becoming increasingly apparent, so the Molnar Research Institute under the leadership of L. Beley implemented seven research projects funded by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, including the last two that directly exposed the dangerous nature of manipulative technologies and pseudo-scientific discourses aimed at undermining the integrity of the Ukrainian ethno-linguistic space:
