Re: Russia's Foreign Affairs Ministry cries into its vodka over demise of Russian abroad



He said the Baltics states Estonia, Latvia and Lituania have joined
the European Union (EU), and "for these republics there is no benefit
in speaking Russian; they need a language which Europeans speak."

Which one? Dutch, French, Danish, Polish? It is good to hear the
opinion of Bahodirkhon Anvarhojayevich Eliboyev from the Independent
Human Rights
Defenders in Fergana, but I don't think his views are going to change
anything in linguistic reality in Baltics.

Whether there are benefits of speaking Russian or not it is out of his
control and frankly non of his business. People will speak whatever
language they want.
