Abstract

The article "Decolonizing Linguistic Space: Language Policies, Practices and Ideologies in the Post-Soviet Countries" explores the impact of Soviet language policies on the diverse territories of the former Soviet Union. It discusses how the imposition of Russian as the dominant language marginalized local languages, leading to a shift in language dynamics post-Soviet dissolution. The study also delves into the evolving role of languages in identity formation, social justice, and resistance to colonial legacies in countries like Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Belarus, and the global Russophone diaspora.
