She was known for her campaigns to promote the Ukrainian language,[6] [7] and to discredit Ukrainians who spoke Russian.[8]

Farion was shot dead outside of her home on 19 July 2024.

Early life and education

Iryna Dmytrivna Farion was born 29 April 1964 in Lviv. Her mother was a teacher and her father was a plumber.[9]

Farion graduated from the philology department of Lviv University in 1987. Until 1991, she was head of the center of Ukrainian studies at Lviv University.[9] In 1996, she defended her doctoral thesis in philology at Lviv University.[10]

Academic career

Farion has been noted by Ukrainian academics for her efforts to promote the use of the Ukrainian language. Among her scientific works are at least four monographs and 200 articles.[11] From 1998 to 2004, Farion headed the language commission of Prosvita. From 1998, she initiated and organized the annual student competition "Language is a foundation of your life" (Ukrainian: Мова – твого життя основа|translit=Mova – tvoho zhyttya osnova).[11] In 2004, she received the Oleksa Hirnyk Literature Award.[12] From 1990 to 1995 she taught Ukrainian literature and Ukrainian at the Lviv National Academy of Arts. She defended her higher doctoral dissertation in 2015.[9] Farion was awarded numerous awards for her academic and educational activities, including the All-Ukrainian Borys Grinchenko Prize.[9]

Farion wrote about the present state and oppression of the Ukrainian language, her most significant work being Language Norm: Destruction, Search, Restoration (Culture of Speech of Public Figures),[13] a monograph that had three editions, dedicated to the evolution of language norms and the reasons for the distortion of the Ukrainian language norm in the 20th century.

Farion also wrote extensively about the history of the Ukrainian language, one of her main works being The Social Status of the Old Ukrainian (Russian) Language in the 14th-17th Centuries: Linguistic Consciousness, Linguistic Reality, Linguistic Perspective, where she rehabilitated the term Old Ukrainian language and argued that the mission of the language is to create a nation and a state.[14] [15] [16]

She dedicated monographs and essays to important figures in the history of the Ukrainian language, among which are Father Markian Shashkevich - Ukrainian Language Creator[17] (2007) and Linguistic Portrait of Ivan Pulyui (According to the Letters of the Thinker)[18] (2017).

She was involved in several educational projects about the Ukrainian language and culture during her lifetime.[19] [20]

Political career

Communist party

During Farion's college years, she was a member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, the only student of Lviv University being in the Communist Party. Farion at first denied membership within the Communist Party,[21] but later, she claimed that she could not have such a career without joining the party; Farion also stated that she joined the party to "destroy it from within".[22] Having joined the party, she published the newspaper dedicated to Ukrainian USSR political prisoner Vasyl Stus, and was accused of nationalism by a party group.

As a People's Deputy

Farion was a member of the Ukrainian nationalist far-right Svoboda party since 2005.[23]

In 2006, Farion balloted for People's Deputy of Ukraine mandate from the Svoboda party of which she was a member of.[24] At the same time she also successfully balloted to the Lviv regional council, where Farion was a deputy chairperson of the commission on education and science. In 2010, she won in a majoritarian electoral district of Lviv.In the 2012 parliamentary election, Farion was elected into parliament after winning a constituency in Lviv Oblast.[25] From 2013, she served as the head of the parliamentary subcommittee on higher education in science and education. In 2014, Farion became the first deputy chairperson of the committee on science and education.[26]

In the 2014 parliamentary election, Farion again tried to win a constituency seat in Lviv, but failed this time having finished third in her constituency with approximately 16% of the vote.[27]

In July 2015, the Investigative Committee of Russia filed a criminal case against Farion on the charges of "incitement to murder" and "extremist statements" that she allegedly made on a public rally on 15 October 2014.[28]

In the July 2019 Ukrainian parliamentary election, Farion again failed to return to parliament after finishing fifth with 10.35% of the vote in electoral district 116 in Lviv Oblast.[29]

Murder

On 19 July 2024, at around 19:30 (EEST), Farion was shot in Lviv.[30] The attacker was described to be a young man of about 20–25 years of age; according to Farion's neighbours, they had noticed him in the morning, waiting near her home.[31] She was immediately admitted to the hospital in the emergency department with a gunshot wound to the head in an "extremely serious" condition.[32] [33] At around 23:00 EEST on the same day, doctors at the hospital announced that she was comatose and on life support. She died around 23:20,[34] at the age of 60.[35] [36] [37]

Ukraine's interior minister Ihor Klymenko stated that the murder was premeditated and the main motives the investigators were considering were either her political and social activity or a personal dislike.[38] [4] [39]

Suspect

On 25 July 2024, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced the arrest of the suspected gunman in Dnipro, Vyacheslav Zinchenko, an 18-year-old male.[40] [41] The suspect, Vyacheslav Zinchenko, was following several far-right and neo-Nazi Telegram channels including Yevhen Karas' S14 and Right Sector, and was trying to enlist in the 3rd Assault Brigade.[42] Zinchenko denied any responsibility in the murder of Farion.[43] The suspect's father, who was fighting on the Ukrainian front line, said his son did not have anti-Ukrainian views and was a patriot who was preparing to join the army.[44] The father also stated that his son is a supporter of a mono-ethnic Ukrainian state, and that in 2022 he became a member of the "Right Youth" movement, the youth organization of Right Sector.[45] According to the suspect's mother, her son is an admirer of Stepan Bandera, speaks good Ukrainian, and therefore the accusations against him are just a "political game".[46]

Earlier that day, the Russian National Socialism / White Power group, considered a terrorist group in Russia, allegedly claimed responsibility for the murder.[47] The video of the murder claim contains the recording of the alleged moment of the shooting and is embedded at the end of a long video entitled "Manifesto of a Ukrainian Autonomous Revolutionary Racist".[48]

Investigation

In July 2024, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine reported that the investigation in the case of the murder found a shell of a sports bullet at the scene. It also reported that the police headed out to the scene of the crime right after being informed about the shooting. Klymenko was present at the crime scene at night himself.[49]

Funeral

Farion's memorial service was held in Lviv on 21 July.[50] Reports on the number of mourners varied from several hundred to over five thousand. She was buried in the Lychakiv Cemetery, near singer-songwriter Volodymyr Ivasyuk.[51] [52] [53] [54]

Reactions

Zelenskyy expressed his condolences to her family.[55] The head of the Lviv regional administration and the mayor of Lviv, Maksym Kozytskyi and Andriy Sadovyi, also expressed their condolences to her family.[56] Mayor of Kyiv Vitali Klitschko called her murder "a provocation and a challenge to the law enforcement system, democracy and stability in the country", while former president Viktor Yushchenko called Farion's murder "a calculated special operation of the enemy."[57] [58]

Farion's political party, Svoboda, accused the Russian government of organizing her death.[59] Politician Yaroslav Yurchyshyn called for the banning of Russian-affiliated religious organizations, stating it would be the "best immediate tribute to Iryna Farion's memory."[60]

Multiple public figures, including rapper Oleksandr Yarmak, singers Maria Burmaka, Iryna Fedyshyn and Khrystyna Soloviy, TV presenter Olha Freimut, actor Rymma Zyubina and writer Oksana Zabuzhko wrote tributes to Farion.[61] Farion's daughter called for a monument to be placed on Masaryk Street where she was shot, and to rename the street to "Iryna Farion Street".[62] [63]

Political views

According to the Kharkiv Human Rights Protection Group, "Iryna Farion's extreme nationalist views have long made the Lviv linguist and Svoboda [Freedom] Party politician a controversial figure." Farion has been characterized as far-right.[8] [64] [65]

Farion admired the nationalist thinker Dmytro Dontsov.[66] She suggested that those who favored friendship with Russia should be "placed in cells" and be required to read the works of Taras Shevchenko or Stepan Bandera.

From 2014 to 2019, Farion hosted the historical programme "The Greatness of the Individual", with the aim of popularising Stepan Bandera in Ukraine.

Farion welcomed the murder of journalist Oles Buzina in April 2015, calling him a "degenerate" and "scumbag".[67] [68]

In 2017 accused Ukrainian TV presenter Dmitry Gordon on air of being an FSB agent. In March 2019, in response to journalist Dmitry Gordon's criticism of Stepan Bandera, Farion called Gordon an enemy and wished him a "torturous death". For this, she was harshly criticized by the National Union of Journalists of Ukraine.[69]

Opposition to Russian language in Ukraine

In February 2010, on International Mother Language Day, Farion was filmed instructing kindergartners to avoid using Russian names.[70] [71] In one instance, she tells them to "go where the Mashas live" if they wanted to be called Masha; a video of the incident was aired on Russian state television and was widely criticized.[72] [73] The incident was also widely discussed and criticized in the Ukrainian media.[74] One deputy from the Party of Regions asked the Prosecutor General of Ukraine to file a criminal case against her on the grounds of language-based and nationality-based discrimination.

In June 2010, Farion stated: "We have 14% of Ukrainians who indicated that their native language is Russian, that is, the language of the occupier. This indicates a terrible mutation of their consciousness. These are 5 million Ukrainian degenerates. And they need to be saved". Farion also suggested that Ukrainians who do not know the Ukrainian language should be imprisoned.[75] That year she also called for a campaign to "punch every Russian-speaking person in the jaw".

In 2017, she urged against giving jobs and education to those who do not speak Ukrainian.

In April 2018, Farion called Russian-speaking Ukrainians "mentally retarded" and claimed that they had caused the Russo-Ukrainian War.[76] Later in 2019 she emphasized that the Russian-speaking population of Eastern Ukraine are the "authors of the war" because "if there were no such [Russian speakers], Putin would have no one to protect",[77] referring to Russian propaganda narrative of protecting Russian speakers in Ukraine.[78]

In October of 2018, Farion called ethnic Hungarians in Zakarpattia Oblast "retards" and suggested that they "go back to Hungary",[79] [80] while comparing them to "dogs who cannot learn the language of Bandera".[80]

On 26 January 2023 in an interview, Farion once again stated the effect of causality and "karmic nature" relating to the events in Mariupol, saying that it was "karma" for the citzens of Mariupol.[81] She emphasized on responsibility for voting in the elections, stating that Mariupol's population had voted for pro-Russian politicians who were Russian collaborators.[82]

In November 2023, Farion stated in an interview that "there is no Russian-speaking population, there are Ukrainians, and there are Katsaps";[83] she also said that she would not consider Russian-speaking fighters of the Azov Brigade to be Ukrainian.[84] [85] Farion also published a letter by a supporter in the occupied Crimean Peninsula; she did not blur his name, causing him to be detained by Russian authorities.[86] This caused public outrage, including criticism from politician Tamila Tasheva,[87] [88] and student protests at Lviv Polytechnic, but the institute refused to fire her. Farion later appealed to the president and defence minister to "take measures" against Azov fighters who criticized her.[89] The incident led to Ukraine's human rights ombudsman to say that he had asked the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) to open an investigation. On 15 November, the SBU opened an investigation against her on the counts of discrimination, insulting the dignity of a serviceman, violation of confidentiality of correspondence, and breach of inviolability of private life,[90] and she was relieved of her position at Lviv Polytechnic.[91] She was reinstated at Lviv Polytechnic in May 2024.[92]

Personal life

Farion was married to Ostap Semchyshyn; they had a daughter and were divorced.[93] As of 2022, her daughter was a member of the Lviv City Council.[94] Farion had two grandchildren.
