Abstract
Based on the materials of the current archive of the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Bashkortostan, this article makes an attempt to study the preservation of the native language on the example of school education in the Udmurt language in 1970-2018. An analysis of the dynamics of the network of national schools in the Udmurt language over the specified period showed that the number of schools and the number of students studying in their native language tended to sharply decline. The main reason for this process was the transference of the Udmurt schools into the Russian language of education, which was carried out as a part of the language policy of the party and the government in the 1970s. The role of the Russian language in the educational process in the national republics was strengthening in several stages and lasted until the end of the 1980s. By this time, almost all schools with the Udmurt language in the republic had been translated into Russian. The Udmurt language was learnt only as a subject. In the post-Soviet period, the Udmurt school in Bashkortostan has not undergone fundamental changes. The Udmurt language is mainly studied as a subject. In a number of schools in the primary school the children are educated in the native Udmurt language.
