> embrace the local language at the local level
Yes, "embracing" is clearly the picture painted by Syres Boliayen in the UN:
> Native peoples in Russia are forbidden to have their own political parties, or even to study their mother tongue in secondary schools. Only dancing in national costumes is tolerated. Those who stand up for their rights are persecuted as extremists and become victims of punitive psychiatry
(or killed, as Kuyashev)
@werekat @kravietz @dump_stack oh look, double language signs in ~E~e~EvIL RuSsIA~a~A~
@kravietz @dump_stack Oh god, punitive psychiatry. One for the reading list: van Voren. And the Gabyshev case - why is a political protester, even with religious connotations, arrested and taken in for psychiatric treatment? He's not mentally ill, he just doesn't like Putin. Yet this is what he gets, in a rather conscious echo to glasnost' times.
