Subject: [SEELANGS] "Bitter truth" about Russian language competence

     If you are interested in reading about what Russians think about
the state of the literacy, you may find it interesting to read the
article, published this Monday in the magazine “Smena”. It deals with
public response to the proposed change of the rules (coffee, etc.) and
with journalists’ reflections about literacy and verbal behavior in
modern Russia. The article is pretty eclectic, though – to my mind –
it reflects the way Russians think.
     «Горькое правдо: мы не знаем собственного языка». // Смена, 2010,
№ 2, стр. 5-13.
     “Bitter *Trooth: We do not Know our Own Language” // Smena, 2010,
# 2, pp. 5-13
     I was asked a couple of questions by the journalists and they
allowed me to send my colleagues the article itself, since it will
appear in the Internet only in March. Those who are interesting in
getting the article please contact me, and I will send you two files
in *pdf with the article (in Russian). [112 and 612 Kb]
