Linguistic Rights and Language Activism in the Russian Federation
What is going on in Russia in terms of linguistic rights and language activism? What languages are spoken in Russia? What is the official status of those languages, and how are the non-Russian or the so-called minority languages maintained? The topic of this conversation is the rapid decline of linguistic diversity and the suppression of linguistic rights in the Russian Federation. Linguistic discrimination and language genocide are highly under-represented issues in not only Russia’s history, but global history as well.
