Soviet Language Planning since 1953

  • Chapter
Language Planning in the Soviet Union

Abstract

The period after 1953, compared to the period before it, is certainly less dramatic in terms of creative language planning. There are no ‘language fronts’, no mass literacy or korenizatsiia campaigns, no upbeat statistics on publication figures in but recently alphabetized languages, or in the number of students receiving instruction in their mother tongue. Absent also are the dreary, bloody last years of Stalin when all creative activity seemed to come to a halt as the accusation of ‘wrecking on the language front’ could cost a linguist his life.
