Post-Soviet Linguistic landscape of Russia

[John Dunn]

There is a chapter on the subject in Larissa Ryazanova-Clarke and Terence Wade, The Russian Language Today, Routledge, 1999.   The other day I was playing around with a Maps application that has suddenly appeared on my computer, and, having managed to obtain a fairly large-scale map of Rostov-on-Don, I was surprised how few changes to street names there had been.  And incidentally, prior to the gentleman in question becoming an un-person, the Moscow metro system was named after L.M. Kaganovich.

Dear all

Just wondering if anyone could direct me towards literature on the changes to the linguistic landscape in Russia following the fall of the USSR?  I'm particularly interested in changes to street names and the removal of Soviet slogans from public places.
I can find lots of literature on other former republics, but not on Russia.

Many thanks

Anne Marie
