Language Policy and Practice in the Soviet Union.
Silver, Brian D.
Social Education, v49 n2 p107-10 Feb 1985
There are more than 100 ethnic groups or nationalities in the Soviet Union. Many of these still speak their own native language. To accelerate mass education, these native languages are used in K-12 schools; however, the Russian language is promoted as the main language of science, technology, and international discourse. (RM)
