The positions of the Russian language The last 30 years weaken in the countries of the post-Soviet space, in particular in the Central Asian region, from where the “Basic Number of Migrant Migrants” comes to Russia. This was stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov at a meeting with representatives of national and cultural associations.
Over the past 30 years, unfortunately, the Russian language began to lose its position very quickly. In many states, focus on promoting the national language, which is absolutely natural for countries that have found sovereignty recently and want to preserve their culture, “said Russian minister. – But at the same time as a whole, a number of cases, the Russian language sharply lost its position. And it is now understanding our neighbors, including the countries of Central Asia, which supply the bulk of labor migrants. “
According to the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry, now with Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, as well as with Kyrgyzstan, where “Russian language is official and well protected,” although the “quality of knowledge of this language” deteriorates, the Russian side develops a whole program “on issues creating universities and schools. “
Moscow expects that the neighbors will come to “understanding the need to maintain Russian not because Russia wants this, but because it significantly expands the possibilities of career and employment,” hopes Russian minister.
