This is the first comprehensive volume to compare the
sociolinguistic situations of minorities in Russia and in Western
Europe. As such, it provides insight into language policies, the
ethnolinguistic vitality and the struggle for reversal of language
shift, language revitalization and empowerment of minorities in
Russia and the European Union. The volume shows that, even though
largely unknown to a broader English-reading audience, the
linguistic composition of Russia is by no means less diverse than
multilingualism in the EU. It is therefore a valuable introduction
into the historical backgrounds and current linguistic, social and
legal affairs with regard to Russia’s manifold ethnic and
linguistic minorities, mirrored on the discussion of recent issues
in a number of well-known Western European minority situations.
