Knowing a Language Is Knowing the World: Learning and Supporting the Russian Language in the Republic of Tajikistan (Ethnodialogues; No.1, 2023)

The year 2023 in Tajikistan is dedicated to the Russian language. The Russian language today is officially the language of interethnic communication in Tajikistan. With the support and funding of the Russian Federation, “Russian World”, “Russian Language Foundations”, “Russian Space” centers and new Russian language schools were opened and now operate in Tajikistan. Russia has also supported Tajikistan in higher education: three universities with full Russian-language instruction have been established and are operating.
