Bishkek must understand that by following the path of Astana and Kyiv in the matter of total decommunization and de-Russification, one can fall into a dangerous trap, from which it will then be impossible to get out. International columnist for PolitNavigator Ainur Kurmanov comes to this conclusion in his new publication. The reason for this statement was the latest statement by the Speaker of the Kyrgyz Parliament Nurlanbek Shakiev, who called...

Everyone knows about the misadventures of Father Frost in Ukraine. There, due to his excessive Russianness and Sovietness, his grandfather was not included in the “Peacemaker”, replacing him with the “historical” St. Nicholas. In principle, there is a reason, although Nicholas of Myra, the prototype of the new Ukrainian New Year’s mascot, lived and preached in the territory of what is now Turkey, and in general resembles how the Ukrainians portray him...

The Verkhovna Rada supported in the first reading the draft law of Vladimir Zelensky, which introduces a special status for the English language - its study will become mandatory in educational institutions, and the requirement of English proficiency will be mandatory when occupying a number of positions. “Our country has been integrated into another space for more than 70 years - into the Russian-speaking space. And we, undoubtedly, see the results of this implementation...

An unnoticed, but nevertheless significant event occurred in Belarus. The man who personified the creeping de-Russification of the XNUMXs finally left the republic. “Movny inspector,” as he called himself, Igor Sluchak was evacuated from the country with his wife Alina Nagornaya and young sons Stefan and Tadeusz (the choice of names says a lot about the “Belarusianness” of the Zmagar family) with the support of the fugitive opposition fund...

The Lviv regional administration reported on an inspection of 30 service establishments - cafes, shops, hairdressers, whose owners and employees were warned about the inadmissibility of playing Russian-language music in public places. The delegation consisted of officials and “activists” - Bandera gopniks, who, on occasion, can be set against an objectionable establishment and cause a pogrom there under the pretext of fighting for the purity of language...

For the legal justification of the ethnocide of Russians in Ukraine, all the necessary legislative acts have already been adopted. In order not to disturb society, it is necessary to introduce a moratorium on new laws in this area and continue de-Russification, hiding behind the screen of “restoring the unity of the country.” This is exactly what the fascist regime of Francisco Franco did in Spain. This recipe for action on the “Yes it is” channel was voiced by a former deputy of the Verkhovna Rada, former...

The “Belarusian Latin” that had filled the cities of the republic was today replaced by a more readable version by a resolution of the State Property Committee. The old instruction on transliteration of names of geographical objects was canceled and replaced by a new one. There are two main changes. The first is that the resolution restored the violated equality of the two state languages. Until now, transliteration was possible only from the Belarusian language, but now...

The ban on communication in Russian introduced yesterday at the Kiev-Mohyla Academy is a completely balanced and legal decision in modern realities. The language ombudsman of Ukraine Taras Kremin stated this on the air of the Lvov NTA TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports. “It is not the language that is prohibited, but it is forbidden to communicate in Russian as the language of the aggressor country. I share the position of the work collective, this...

In the Sumy region they plan to make 1400 renamings of toponymic objects that are associated with Russia and the USSR. The head of the military-civil administration of the Sumy region spoke about this, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports, in his telegram channel. “We continue to work on de-Russification and deprivation of the Sumy region of the consequences of the colonial past. Working groups of territorial communities generated more than 1400 proposals for renaming. More than half of the names associated with Russia...

The Moldovan government refuses to finance schools with Russian as the language of instruction, as well as the study of Gagauz, Bulgarian and Ukrainian languages ​​in schools. The problem was raised today at a meeting of the Moldovan parliament by deputy Fedor Gagauz, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports. “The current budget formation formula applies only to educational institutions with the state language of instruction. At the same time, it does not take into account how the budgets of Russian-language schools are formed...

The de-Russification of Belarus seems to have failed. At least when it comes to urban toponymy, there is reason for optimism. On December 8, speaking at a meeting of the commission on historical policy, the head of Lukashenko’s administration, Igor Sergeenko, confirmed that he was receiving many requests regarding the use of the Russian language and transliteration in the names of streets and settlements, and promised that this...

As in neighboring Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan has begun its own de-Russification process along a well-worn track, which is now initially disguised as decommunization, but the goal is stated immediately - there should be only Kyrgyz names in the republic. Moreover, this installation descends directly from above from Bishkek. Actually, this renaming procedure began from the capital, and it wasn’t even the mayor who announced it...

Ukraine continues total de-Russification. Thus, there are practically no schools left in the country where Russian is taught.

Surprise is when you stand near the monument to Gorky in the park of the same name and watch the Moscow cinema with the letters of the name urgently torn out. The documents also say “Moscow,” but you’re not supposed to see that, otherwise the directors will be hanged from the nearest birch tree. But you don’t believe your eyes and just think - how come the patriots haven’t gotten around to it yet...
