This article attempts to predict the future condition and development of the languages of the Finno-Ugric peoples. The problem of language forecasting is not a priority area of linguistic studies. Some researchers are skeptical about the very possibility of predicting the development of a language as unforeseen extra-linguistic factors can affect it and accelerate decelerate its development. The Russian history saw a lot of such factors: the language building during the post-revolutionary years, repressions of the 1930s, struggle against “nationalism” and “panfinism”, liquidation of national schools, policy of building a “new historical community - the so-called “Soviet people” with Russian as a single language, various educational reforms, etc. In the Russian Federation, the Finno-Ugric peoples mostly reside in the five Finno-Ugric republics of Karelia, Komi, Mari El, Mordovia and Udmurtia and in the two autonomous districts of Khanty-Mansi (Ugra) and Yamalo-Nenets. The Finno-Ugric peoples living in the latter districts are small nations and will not be discussed in this article. There are also numerous Finno-Ugric diasporas in Bashkortostan, Tatarstan and some other Russian regions. All of them differ by the following two demographic criteria: the ratio of Russians to the titular population and the number of state languages in the republics in question and the existence of laws governing those languages. This study, which is based on papers written by various linguistic scholars from both the Finno-Ugric republics and foreign countries, statistics and population census results, allows us to conclude that the process of giving the national languages the status of a state language had virtually no impact on the change in the language situation, nor did it slow down the language shift towards Russian - rather, it accelerated that shift. Such alarming situation with national languages should encourage linguistic scientists and authorities to pay special attention to the problems of planning, forecasting and preserving those languages.

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 deals with problematic issues related to the 2020 amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation in the field of justice in the context of innovations: positive, negative, surprising, and not introduced, but, in the author’s opinion, necessary for introduction. The author considers the constitutional legalization of arbitration proceedings to be positive. Negative — the gap in the unity of the status of Russian judges, two provisions, as well as the assignment of quasi-judicial functions to the President of the Russian Federation and the Federation Council in relation to a part of the judicial corps. Surprising-constitutional bans for judges to have citizenship, residence permit, etc. of another state, as well as to have accounts in foreign banks located outside the Russian Federation, and store money and valuables in them, since these bans were established by law in 2008 and 2013. The author refers to the following missing but necessary innovations: constitutional consolidation of the institution of judicial assessors, along with professional judges who administer justice; it is also prohibited for judges (along with other categories of persons holding public positions) to own real estate objects in foreign countries.

Migration Flows

The increased intensity of international migration flows affects the need to record citizenship, ethnicity, nationality in statistical aggregates. Active migration shows the need for changes in the approach to taking into account the ethnic structure of the population and the flows of permanent and labor international migration. The results of the analysis of statistical records of citizenship and ethnic structure of the population and migrants in Russia and some foreign countries are presented in the article. The analysis of accounting indicators in Russia is based on official sources of the Federal State Statistics Service, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Russian Federation. The information of these organizations makes it possible to analyze the ethnic component of international migration flows. The paper analyzes the approaches to accounting for the ethno-demographic characteristics of migrants at the federal level. It is shown that during the current registration, migrants indicate their citizenship and country of birth, as well as their nationality and religion by self-determination. However, in official publications, data on migration are narrowed down to the item “Citizenship”. Based on the approach about the likely mobility of ethnic self-identification, the set of variables for specifying the socio-cultural characteristics of both the resident population and foreign citizens could include several indicators. Based on the analysis of the experience of foreign countries in the development of questions on the ethno-demographic characteristics of the population, the authors propose, in the framework of the census of the Russian Federation, to consider the possibility of including additional data on the place of birth of the respondent's father and mother. The request for this information does not contradict the constitutional law, however, it will allow obtaining more correct data on the ethnic and cultural roots of the person being rewritten for analysis. Nationality based on self-identification is included in the list of issues in the All-Russian Population Census. However, the authors propose the issue of nationality in the migration registration card. This is due to the fact that now operational accounting does not take into account changes in the national composition of the country and its individual regions, which limits the possibilities of implementing a balanced ethnopolitics.
