Ragul (also rogul [1] ) is a slang term [2] used by urban residents of Ukraine to refer to a villager [3] who has not adopted urban customs and culture (“a normal citizen ... will not go to sing folk songs to the Shevchenko monument in broad daylight”) [1] . "Dictionary of Russian folk dialects" fixes the word in the Bryansk dialect of the Russian language, starting in 1935, with the spelling through "o" as a curse against a rude village man [4] . The mentality of such a stupid [2] , poorly educated person is called ragulism . Jargonism “ swindling ” means stupidity, absurdity [2] .
Being purely Galician in origin, the word became widespread in the 1960s, although its use can be traced back to the times of the Austrian Empire . V. Okarinsky after Y. Vinnichuk explains the etymology of the term, based on Polish. rogatka , in the 19th century it designated a barrier at the entrance to Lviv (that is, rogues - those who live behind a slingshot [1] and gather at her to enter the city). A. I. Grishchenko considers the origin of the word “dark” [5] .
According to V. Okarinsky, the nickname is not too connected with interethnic relations; the authors of the shocking Encyclopedia of Our Ukrainian Studies [6] consider “ragul” a crude synonym for the word “bull” (the one who “ bulls ”).
Ragulism is a problem for preserving the city's historical and cultural heritage, since kitsch is the top of excellence for ragul [1] .
Jargonism
At the beginning of the XXI century, the word was widely used in Internet jargon as an insulting nickname of Western Ukrainians. At the same time, new derivatives were formed , from the harmless “ragulka” (female raguli) [7] to the word “fagot” containing this homosexuality [8] .
