| Summary |
Russian policy documents increasingly emphasise the importance of "miagakaia sila" (soft power) for securing Russia's foreign policy interests. Looking at the politics of Russian in a range of countries including the Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Ireland and Germany, this book examines Russian language promotion and its reception in different countries and across different contexts. |
