Please consider forwarding the following message to the readers of
Ura-list. I believe this does concern the international uralist community.
Or perhaps it's me alone who doesn't read Ugrimugri?

KOMI FINNO-UGRIC LITERATURE TO BE TAUGHT IN RUSSIAN. A scandal has erupted
at
the state university in Syktyvkar, the capital of the Komi Republic, because
almost the entire staff of the department for Komi Folklore and Finno-Ugric
literature has been fired, RFE/RL's Syktyvkar correspondent reported on 28
April. The department is the main center for preparing teachers of Komi
literature for national schools in the republic.

The teachers wrote letters
of complaint to the head of the Komi Republic, his deputies, the Ministry
for Nationality Affairs, and the Ministry for People's Education, but they
have not responded. And so far, the affair has been reported on only in
"Tribuna" and "Krasnoe znamya" and not in the Komi press. The teachers
protested against the introduction of a new policy of teaching Komi folklore
and literature in Russian rather than in Komi. JAC
