The use of the state language of the Russian Federation is mandatory in the publication of regulatory legal acts of both Federal and regional levels. The republics of the Russian Federation, along with the Russian language, may use their own state languages in the publication of the legal acts. The current legislation defines the procedure for the use of the Russian language as a state language, but this procedure is far from perfect. Certain requirements should be made and the use of regional official languages. The simultaneous use of two or more languages in the creation and publication of an legal acts creates a number of difficulties, inevitable in bilingual or multilingual legislation.

State Language

This paper presents a sociolinguistic analysis of the current linguistic situation in the Russian Federation. Preservation and development of the Russian language represents the national interest of the state. The Russian language has the status of a state language, but, given the large number of ethnic groups living on the territory of Russia, it must not jeopardise other national languages, as this could lead to inter-ethnic conflicts. Some of the key issues Russia is currently facing in this field are: the process of globalisation, the uncontrolled penetration of anglicisms into the Russian language, the adverse impact of the Internet and social networks on literacy, especially with the younger population. All valid rules of the Russian orthography are, in fact, prescribed by the Government of The Russian Federation. Laws regulating the area of language policy are the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the Law on the Languages of the Peoples of the Russian Federation, and the Law on the State Language of the Russian Federation.

The article addresses the issue of language situation and language policy through the analysis of legislation. Taking a social constructionist approach to law, the authors claim that a legal text can be explored for the purpose of discovering typical representations and linguistic resources that conceptualise languages, language situation and language policy. The paper offers a concise overview of domestic and foreign scholarship in the field as well as offering definitions for the basic categories used in the research. The analysis of the Russian Federal Law “On the State Language of the Russian Federation” shows that the Russian language is constructed as a state language, which has a few aspects. It is represented as an instrument of national unity, an instrument of maintaining culture, and an instrument of international impact. In terms of semantic roles, the Russian language is represented not only as an agent and instrument, but also as a patient, the object of negative and positive impact. The contexts mentioning the Russian language and other languages and idioms construct the relations between the languages as mutually reinforcing (thus, constructing the semantics of unity) or mutually excluding (thus, constructing the semantics of opposition).

We consider the features of model terminology. The purpose of the study is to comprehend and initially describe the specifics of the basic model legislative terms and definitions, aspects and trends of their formulation and use. To achieve this goal, we analyze 157 model acts (13 codes and 144 laws) adopted by the Interparliamentary Assembly of the CIS member states in the period from 2012 to 2021; more than 2000 model terms and definitions. We note that the model term formation is carried out taking into account the established traditions of creating legal acts, the peculiarities of the hierarchical and subject-branch correlation of legislative terms and con-cepts, as well as understanding the functions, means and methods of formulating legal definitions. Model definitions of terms reflect the typical phenomena of legal discourse of unification, trans-formation, homonymy, polysemy, synonymy, antonymy of legal concepts, variability of their legal definitions. The methodological basis is formed by general scientific methods and approaches used in modern Russian studies and legal linguistics (analysis, comparison, analogy, modeling, contextual, interpretive, systemic, interdisciplinary and other approaches). The work can be useful to those whose activities are related to the official business sphere of communication, who creates, analyzes and systematizes legal acts, examines the development of legal terminology, the Russian language as the state language of the Russian Federation.

The first publication of the complete Foreword [Preduvedomlenie] authored by the renowned Russian economist and writer A. Chayanov in the Russian language (1999 saw the publication of the French version). The piece is considered to be an inseparable part of his ‘Moscow Hoffmanniada.’ To illustrate the book, Chayanov invited the master of smallscale graphics A. Kravchenko, who later became a classic of the romantic tradition in Russian 20th-c. graphic art. The publication never happened, banned by Glavlit (the official Soviet censorship organ) in 1926, and the Foreword was archived. This Foreword was missing from all subsequent publications of Chayanov’s romantic novellas, although the commentators kept referring to the piece. The article seeks to correct the situation and draw the readers’ attention to the text, printed in full after the typewritten manuscript stored in GARF (the State Archive of the Russian Federation), upon elimination of typos and obvious inaccuracies, assuming that the Foreword is part and parcel of Chayanov’s ‘botanical Hoffmanniada.’

Attempts to build a “Russian world” within the former Soviet republics of Central Asia by introducing an idea of a single linguistic, cultural and political space with the Russian Federation are studied in the article. The threats to the Central Asian countries’ information space are analyzed. The data on gradual changing of orientations of the Central Asian states’ citizens when choosing sources of information is provided. It is concluded that the technologies of the Russian Federation’s propaganda in Central Asia are aimed primarily at the formation of the president of Russia positive image among the widest possible groups of population. Attempts to push so-called “the Russian world”, which already jeopardize global peaceful balance, are grounded, in particular, on a widespread use of the Russian language within the territories of the former USSR that serves to propagate an idea of a single linguistic, cultural and political space. At the same time, a revival and development of national languages and cultures are intensively ongoing in all new independent states. It provokes a confrontation that often causes points of tension and conflicts. A large number of the Russian media, including federal state editions, TV channels. the Sputnik news agency etc. operates in Central Asian information space. Using own controlled media, the Kremlin seeks to convince the Central Asian states’ citizens that the Russia’s foreign policy is a right one, as well as to form a positive image of Russia and president Putin as a politician who is capable to ensure stability and security in the Central Asian region. The Russian Federation pays a special attention to Eastern Kazakhstan, where a large number of ethnic Russians is concentrated. Kazakhstan has much in common with Ukraine on its ethnic population composition, economic situation and geographical proximity to Russia. As in Ukraine, the ethnic Russians make up about 1/5 of the population in Kazakhstan, meanwhile the Russian language is widely used in all spheres. Russia calls its initiative a “humanitarian project”, but there is no doubt that the Kremlin is fighting for minds of younger generation, trying to impose own culture and values on young people. Recently, while alternative sources of information have been spreading, more and more Central Asian habitants opt for online information in their national languages, considering Russianspeaking news resources to be a propaganda.
