Russian language in the LPR became the only state language
The Parliament of the Lugansk People’s Republic considered the LNR language law. Deputies of the People’s Council of the Republic decided to amend the LNR Constitution, which regulate the state language. After the law adopted by the People’s Council of the Lugansk People’s Republic, Russian becomes the only state language of the LPR.
The bill was introduced for consideration by the National Assembly of the LPR with the head of the republic Leonid Pasechnik.
The representative of the head of the LPR in the parliament of the republic, Nina Galan, noted that the Russian language plays a decisive role in the consolidation and cultural development of the LPR people.
Nina Galan:
It is noted that recognition of the Russian language as the only state language does not detract from the right to use any other language in the LPR. Every resident of the LPR, on the basis of the Constitution, has the right to freely use his native language and the right to freely choose the language of communication, training and creativity.
Voting results on the bill: 42 deputies of the People’s Council - in favor, 1 abstained.
Nina Galan:
Today it became known that by the decision of the Ministry of Education and Science of the LPR, the Ukrainian language was excluded from the basic part of the curriculum for schools of the republic.
