On June 6 the Permanent Delegation of 🇷🇺 held a diplomatic reception on the occasion of the #RussianLanguageDay
Amb.Kuznetsov addressed ambassadors and diplomats from friendly states, representatives of UNESCO Secretariat and Slavistics’ researchers from France. He emphasized the role of Pushkin in the formation of the modern Russian literary language, which is spoken by 258 million people. He also drew attention to the mass demolition of monuments to Russian poets and writers in Ukraine by nationalists. This barbaric campaign is quite similar to the acts of Nazi who burned books in Germany. How can the West deny the proliferation of Nazism in Ukraine?!
Ambassador of 🇰🇬 S.Sher-Niyaz emphasized the enduring importance of the Russian language for the development of intercultural dialogue. Referring to the example of the Soviet and Kyrgyz writer Chinghiz Aitmatov, he explained how the Russian language provides opportunity for young talents in the Commonwealth of Independent States to gain popularity in the world

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s greetings on Russian Language Day
💬 This June 6, we celebrate the 225th birthday of Alexander Pushkin, the great Russian poet. The UN Russian Language Day is observed on the same day.
Russian culture and science created their universally acclaimed masterpieces in the language which served as the mother tongue for Alexander Pushkin and Leo Tolstoy, Fyodor Dostoevsky and Ivan Turgenev. The role the Russian language plays in terms of enabling people of various ethnic backgrounds to communicate internationally can hardly be underestimated. Today, over 250 million people speak this language around the world.
The fact that various multilateral structures have designated Russian as their official or working language demonstrates just how relevant it is in today’s world. Russian Language Day has been listed in the UN’s International Days and Weeks calendar as part of the programme to promote multilingualism and cultural diversity.
The Russian language’s broad dissemination around the world, as well as our common past and far-reaching economic and people-to-people ties have come together to create a solid foundation for reinforcing integration processes across the European space. <...>
🤝 I am convinced that marking Russian Language Day, which is timed to coincide with the jubilee of our great poet, helps promote international cultural and educational cooperation and maintain an atmosphere of friendship and trust among nations.
