This book is an attempt to answer the question: Why is our relationship with languages the way they are? Why are there still people who are ashamed to speak the language of their parents or grandfathers? Why are we ashamed of our native dialects? Why do some of us still think that language is a neutral thing in itself, and not knowing the language of one's own country is normal? Why are so many languages dying on the territory of modern Russia right now? Why does some language seem superior to someone, and some - inferior?
"The language is the sword" describes the linguistic reality of the USSR in a hundred small chapters. You can start reading the book from any chapter. This book describes how the Russian language became a sword in the Soviet Union. The native language should become a shield in the fight against empires.
