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]
