Saving minority languages, as well as checking of literacy officials discussed today in the Kremlin, at the joint meeting of the Council for Interethnic Relations and the Russian language. The main theme – the state language policy in times of the global information space. Vladimir Putin has said – it is necessary to preserve traditional values, while avoiding self-isolation from the world culture.
Two of the Presidential Council – in Russian and international relations – the first time in history come together at such a meeting could not be more seems logical. In Russia, where almost two hundred nationalities and languages, and even more, that the Russian language has become the cement that holds together the unity of the great country.
“This is the official language of our country, the language of international communication. In Russian with us spoken by more than 96 percent of the citizens. It is he, the Russian language, in fact, together with the Russian culture formed as a unified and multi-ethnic civilization for centuries provided the link between generations, continuity and mutual ethnic cultures, – the President said. – My colleague from Dagestan, a former Head of the Republic of Dagestan, knows how many ethnic groups live and how many languages. And often people within a small republic in fact can not, if they speak their native language, they can not understand each other, despite the fact that they live side by side. And a natural way of communicating – is using the Russian language. So it is important for our country “.
In these circumstances, a competent knowledge of Russian – is not just a matter of personal culture, but also a pledge of success in life. And here comes to the fore the level of teaching of the Russian language. The meeting also discussed the fact that in schools the subject should be given more time and that the quality of education is often dependent on how the teacher feels comfortable.
B. Ekimov, writer: “We have a teacher who has become? Who will say:” Master, let your name to humbly kneel. “He’s below all there. In our regional center, I do know, for the past 20-25 years, no the teacher has not received housing. And if he could earn his apartment at the wages that he has? I understand that instant some decree that can not be solved. But slowly, quietly, thoughtfully must begin to raise the status of teachers “.
In. Putin: “I agree with Boris Petrovich Ekimov, he, in my opinion, is not the first time spoke about the need to raise the status of teachers. We are trying to do it. You pay attention to what you need to do this, as you said, slowly, but systematically – I even wrote your statement. We are trying to do so. In recent years, as you know, in the last two years, interest in training in pedagogical high schools by students increased by 15 percent. As for the level of wages, housing , the questions that were constantly in recent years and will be in the area of our attention “.
Of no less importance for the Russian culture are the national languages of the peoples of Russia. In the regions, the president recalled, these languages can receive even the status of the state.
“As an example, the Crimea, where there are three equal languages: Russian, Ukrainian, Crimean Tatar. But we know other examples where a number the right of considerable ethnic communities to use their native language is ignored or restricted when held tough, aggressive policy of linguistic and cultural assimilation. And we see the consequences it leads: to the division of society into “full” and “inferior” people in the “citizens’ “and” non-citizens “, and even to direct, tragic internal conflicts”, – said the president.
The Russian Constitution guarantees the right of peoples to preserve the language. It’s not just, for example, about the Tatar, who is familiar to millions of people. But even on languages spoken at best hundreds. Several years ago, the country issued a primer for one of the small people – Uilta. Native speakers left about three hundred people, but in Russia the preservation of minority languages - is a traditional problem.
In. Putin: “I note that writing for many languages has been developed only in the Soviet period by the outstanding Russian scientists, linguists, philologists. From 1920 to 1940, its writing has appeared in 50 nations. Before this writing these peoples were not. Let me remind you of the rich and the tradition of literary translations into Russian books, poems whose authors wrote in their native language. And thanks to the Russian translation of their works became known throughout the country, so that there is all over the country – all over the world. Suffice it to recall Rasul Gamzatov. Without exaggeration, we can say: this support of the conservation of national languages, in our country, no one ever in the world did not provide “.
Name Rasul Gamzatov, and with it the Tatar poet Musa Jalil and Chukchi writer Yuri Ryhteu meeting mentioned more than once, when they said that the national literature, translated into Russian, could improve understanding between nations.
In. Tolstoy, chairman of the Russian language: “In fact, even the attainment of the national character of each other completely changed if we know the literature of the peoples of the Caucasian peoples, the peoples of the Far North, their traditions, their view of the universe, their relationship to nature and to each other “.
Yet the most acute pain experienced participants of the meeting due to the condition of the Russian language has now appeared.
And. Volgin, professor of Moscow State University: “When the traffic police lieutenant writes me a fine and a protocol fills with 15 errors, I’m starting to think that the state is wrong, because he represents the state. I have a suggestion: introduce a mandatory exam in Russian for all graduates of higher education institutions “.
In. Putin: “As for the traffic police, who write out a receipt with mistakes. I know what you think? Thank God that at least a receipt prescribed, albeit with errors. But as for the exam on the Russian language for all. I will not definitely say that any decisions taken. But on the whole, of course, you’re right – it is necessary to raise the level of knowledge of the native language “.
In this sense, the meeting cited the example of” Total dictation “- an annual campaign where anyone can volunteer to test their knowledge. And they say that such a mandatory literacy test could be done at least for civil servants.
