Russification Puns

While I'm interested in the subject broadly, I'm particularly thinking of eastern culture and linguistic groups like Tungusic language communities and the various paleo-Siberian peoples. Did the USSR care about protecting their cultural heritage? Most of these people are monolingual Russian speakers today. Did their linguistic Russification occur during the Soviet era or after?

Thanks!

It seems like Belarusian language is spoken only by a small amount of people in Belarus.

Please, there are so many who dream of becoming Central Asian in their lifetimes.

In OTL, the Soviet Union shifted towards a new wave of Russification in the 1930's, which over a short period of time radically altered the demographics of many regions within the Soviet Union.

In the TNO timeline, the Soviet Union is ruled by Bukharin instead from what I understand. As far as I know he leaned more towards the earlier, more inclusive, line towards the ethnic minorities within the Union.

Are the demographics of the former Soviet Union different due to this and is it demonstrated within the mod?

I am writing a story set in Ukraine and am wishing to name a character after the Greek myth about Aesacus or Aisakos. Could you guys suggest a way I could effectively transfer this name to make it believably Russian surname or firstname (whichever one works).

I don't usually ask for anything like this, but now because of the day and time of protest every protestor is super important.

People generally don't like being genocided or deported. The russification events under Savinkov are genocide and deportations all but in name. The game rules or event checkpoints should take this into account and maybe make an exception for Savinkov's Russia.

What if the Siberian Native Tribes survived Russification. Maybe more like the American Native population, or even more so.

After some research it seems to me that Kyrgyzstan is the only country that's still being Russfied in Central Asia especially Bishkek as rural people moving into the capital adopt the anguage. Is this accurate? How would you describe the situation?

From looking up some stuff online, I saw that Russification was like assimilating people to the Russian culture like in the Baltic’s or the Soviet Bloc. But knowing how weird the Russian State is, how would Kiasserich Russification be similar to our world. Also how could Savinkov manage to do that to Eastern China, Mongolia and Manchuria? If you take them over in a game.

Hello Fellow Polaks,

I will type in English since it I am not as good as writing it as I am speaking it (Polish parents but born in America). I'm looking for some history on the Russification of Poland in the 1960s-1980s. To give some context, my parents lived in a small village south of Gdansk and east of the Wisla. They have always told me stories about how in school they were forced to learn Russian and to this day, they still know some. However, I am struggling to find any kind of literature on this subject on the internet. Am I perhaps searching for the wrong thing? If any of you can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. Just want to know more.

Thanks!

For example if Karelian was retained as an obligatory language in addition to russia in that region would that have been possible? Lenin promised rights to minorities but this never happened in many regions.

I'm reading Brian Porter's When Nationalism Began to Hate, and he claims that, beginning in 1866, Polish schools were required to teach geography and history in Russian, with more and more subjects added until 1885, "when all subjects except religion (but including Polish language and literature) had to be taught in Russian" (pg. 79).

Was there some sort of settlement with the Catholic Church hierarchy? Was it simply too sensitive to intrude upon, or was there some respect on the part of Russian officials? Were there practical difficulties in finding priests who spoke Russian at an adequate level, even that late?
