FUTURE LANGUAGE

The Russian language is a unique phenomenon. It unites people within the country, remains a language of international communication, the bond of the entire Russian world, a language of the United Nations, and the language of space. For any nation, the loss of its language is a loss of culture, identity, and developmental potential. The decline of the Russian language would be a loss for all humanity, for it was in Russian that people united the largest territory on Earth, defeated one of history’s greatest evils, and took their first steps beyond the planet. Preserving the language can become a unifying mission not only for philologists, educators, and writers but also for businesses and scientists in other fields. Language dissemination, along with cultural and technological influence, are inseparable. The more Russia discovers, invents, and produces, the more Russian words will enter the vocabulary of both domestic and international users of Russian products and technologies. The broader the Russian language's reach worldwide and the more comprehensively and positively it portrays the future, the more positively Russian goods and services will be perceived and adopted, enhancing and expanding international collaboration on a greater scale.
