>>> I am interested in learning more about the newly formed "Council for the
>>> Russian Language,"  which, according to a Feb. 25 Christian Science Monitor
>>> article titled "Word cops in the land of Putin and Pushkin," is charged in
>>> part with "cleansing" the Russian language of unecessary foreign words (or,
>>> as one member of the Council quoted in the article put it, of "stupid
>>> borrowings").  Please let me know if you have seen any articles on this in
>>> the Russian press!
>>
>>> Thank you!
