Preservation and Development of Russian Language: challenges and prospects for development

Abstract

The paper is based on an analysis of media and is devoted to the problem of preserving the purity of the Russian language in connection with the preservation of identity and the cultivation of patriotism. The authors identify the connection between the formation and development of language as a factor in the consolidation of the country’s multinational population with cultural and political processes, educational and cultural policies, as well as processes of ensuring internal and external security. The authors draw attention to the low efficiency of mechanisms and tools for implementing state language policy, and formulate proposals for the preservation and development of the Russian language as a factor. The used methods include participant and non-participant observation, document analysis and content analysis. The publication is of interest to cultural, political scientists and to all readers involved into Russian language, history and culture.
