Abstract

From the introduction: "The problem of unrest among the ethnic nationalities plagued the USSR since its inception in December 1922. [...] One crucial element in this problem had been Soviet Language-planning practices. [...]

"This study examines how language functioned with various dynamics of cultural pluralism in the enhanced ethnic mobilization and resultant dissolution of the USSR."
