    Aspects of linguistic diversity in the Soviet Union: a commentary with translation on V. Tsulukidze's Language of friendship and fraternity
    Kirk, Neile A. ( 1988)
    Difficulties of a political and pedagogical nature persist for the teaching of Russian to non-Russians in the Soviet Union. V. Tsulukidze, Minister of Education of the Adar Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, has written of the beneficial influence of Russian on other languages within and without the Soviet Union. In the thesis, his article IAzyk druzhby i bratstva, published in the January 1984 issue of Narodnoe obrazovanie, is translated into English. The thesis provides a commentary on some aspects of Tsulukidze's article and provides examples of the way Russian has influenced and been influenced by other languages, both Soviet and non-Soviet, and indicates the difficulties in some instances of establishing the exact nature of such influences where there are ambiguous indications. Examples are also drawn from Croatian, German, French, Greek and other languages. The thesis also provides a discussion of the ideological context of language policy In the Soviet Union.
