The adoption by the State Duma of amendments to the law "On Education", abolishing the compulsory study of the languages ??of the peoples of Russia, is a logical continuation of the endless chauvinistic attack on the non-Russian peoples of the country, which continues with more or less intensity since 1991. Someday, this reincarnation of the former federation into a classical prison of peoples on an imperial model - "in all languages ??everything is silent," as Taras Shevchenko notes aptly, - will write in history textbooks of Russia or states that arise on its territory. In any case, the State Duma deputies have made yet another - and very important - step towards the emergence of such states. They unnecessarily reminded millions of people that they are second-class citizens in their own country. And the republic they have from the lordly shoulder of the "elder brother", and languages ??are not languages, and it would be better to forget about all this and your antediluvian culture to be shy. In this disgusting chauvinistic campaign, the main grave-digger of modern Russia, Vladimir Putin. It was he who spoke about the inadmissibility of forcing people to learn languages ??that are not native to them. Yes, yes, it was said by the president of that very country, which for its whole history forces millions of people to study the Russian language, for whom he is not native. Which forces representatives of non-Slavic peoples of Russia to use the Cyrillic alphabet - makes it legislatively, by decisions of the same rabid State Duma. President of the country, which "protects" the Ukrainians of the occupied Donbass from their native language, forcing them to study the Russian. The president of the country, which "protects" the Crimean Tatars of the annexed peninsula from studying their native language, forcing them to study the Russian. But for the national republics of Russia, the last of which was annexed by Moscow only in 1944, is another standard. There one can not "impose" Tatar, Bashkir or Tuva. Only Russian can be imposed on days of doubt and painful meditation, who would doubt! As a result, instead of a society united by common cultural values ??and mutual respect, in each Russian republic with a sufficient number of non-Russian population we will get several hating communities. Local residents who will be deeply offended by the chauvinism of Moscow and continue to learn their language and culture in spite of the attempts of the center to humiliate and destroy them. And local collaborators who will be ready to sell the interests of their people to an unscrupulous "big brother". The Russians, who will sincerely sympathize with their offended neighbors, - and the ignorant brazen chauvinists who will consider that now everything is allowed to them. Someday all this will rip, still like a rvanet! This is the real minefield, carefully laid down by Putin and his Duma nutcrackers under the very foundations of Russian statehood. Original.
