Main trends in the development of language policy of Russia

Abstract

The research is devoted to the coverage of the essence and role of the language policy of Russia at the present stage of development of the state. The author notes that international and domestic historical experience proves the decisive role of the linguistic factor in ensuring stable political development and tangible improvement in the country’s social sphere. The constituent elements of the trends in ensuring the effective system of regulation and development of language policy in the Russian Federation are: the study of the language situation, codification of language norms, determination of the basic principles and ways to improve language policy, as well as the practical implementation of the goals of the policy and the planned program of the state actions in the framework of ensuring national unity.
