Russian...
"Russian, spoken by about 125 million people of the
Soviet
Union, is, as a result of compulsory education, becoming a
common tongue throughout Eastern Europe and in what are
now the southern areas of the USSR. The language was
originally spoken by the Eastern Slavic peoples who first
appeared in European Russia at the end of the first millennium
A.D. Russia derives its name from the ‘Russ’ or
‘Ros’, a Scandi-
navian people who settled around Novogorod in the 9th
century and established the dynasty out of which the Russian
Empire grew.
Russia under the Tsars became a European political and cultural
power, primarily during the 15th to 18th centuries. The
Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 proclaimed the
establishment of
the Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic, which included
most of northern European and Asiatic Russia. In 1922 the
Ukrainian, Byelorussian, and Trans-caucasian Republics were
added. The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics
is now com-
posed of 15 constituent Republics, 20 Autonomous Republics
(self-governing areas within the constituent republics), and 8
Autonomous Regions.
The largest nation in the world, the Soviet Union is also one of
the most interesting regions of the world linguistically. Its in-
vasions and folk migrations have given Russia more than 100
distinct ethnic groups, speaking a babel of tongues belonging to
six or more language families. Of the 230 million inhabitants of
the USSR, more than 80 per cent speak Indo-European tongues:
Slavic (Russian,
Ukrainian,
Byelorussian),
Baltic (Latvian,
Latgalian,
Lithuanian),
Iranian (Ossete,
Tadjiki, etc.),
Dardic
(Romany),
Thrace-Phrygian (Armenian),
and Germanic
(Yiddish). There are
also the Altaic tongues:
Turkic (Azerbai-
jani,
Tatar,
Yakut, etc.),
Bulgaric (Chuvash),
Mongolian
(Buriat, etc.), and
Tungusic (Evenki, etc.); the
Caucasian
tongues (Abkhasian,
Georgian, etc.); the
Uralic tongues:
Finnic (Estonian,
Karelian,
Cheremiss,
Mordvin, etc.),
Permian
(Perm,
Ziryen, and
Votiak),
Ugric (Vogul,
Ostiak, etc.), and
Samoyedic (Nenen,
Selkup-Ostiak, etc.); the
Palaeo-Siberian
tongues (Chukcha,
Koryak,
Kamchadal, etc.); and the Eskimo-
Aleut tongues of the Asiatic Eskimo.
Russian and numerous other languages of Russia
are written in
an alphabet prepared, according to tradition, by St. Cyril,
a
Macedonian my., who, with his brother
Methodius,
evangelized the southern Slavic tribes in the 9th century.
The
Cyrillic alphabet in use in the USSR was officially instituted in
1918." --1000 Tongues, 1972 [Info only:
