Scholarship on the status of non-Russian languages in the USSR?

[Rebecca Jane Stanton]

Dear SEELANGers,

A colleague asks:

"Can you recommend any sources, preferably ones not written in Cyrillic
letters, about minority and national languages in the USSR?  I am
thinking about the fate of Lithuanian and other languages associated
with republics in comparison with, say, Yiddish - a language not
attached to a republic. For example, apparently the University of
Vilnius taught in both Russian and Lithuanian (one did a few years in
each language); was this true - language X plus Russian in higher ed -
elsewhere in the USSR, e.g. Ukraine, Bielorus, Moldova?"

Any and all suggestions gratefully received!  (Please reply off-list;
I'll be happy to collate responses and send a summary to the list for
anyone else who might be interested.)

With pre-emptive thanks,
Rebecca
