In 2005,the Law of the Russian Federation on National Language was issued,one of the few laws dedicated to the common language of a state in the world.The contents of the law mainly include the basis of legislation,the scope and standards for the mandatory use of the national language,measures to protect and support the national language,rights protection and so on.In terms of the implementation mechanism of the law,the main measures taken include amending or enacting other relevant laws to adapt to the contents and requirements of the"law on national language",promoting the implementation of the"law on national language"through formulating and implementing medium-and long-term development programs for the Russian language,and establishing a Russian language committee to implement the coordination work of the"law on national language"and promote the development of the national language.The implementation of the"law on national language"not only further consolidates the legal status and legal guarantee of Russian as the national language of the Russian Federation granted by the Constitution,but also promotes the process of the legalization of Russian as the national language of the federation as well as the normalization and purity of its use,in addition to helping to straighten out the relationship between the national language and the language of the Republics,and promote the construction of the identity of Russian citizens.At present,there are still a series of problems in implementing the"law on national language"and promoting the use of Russian,the most important of which is the relationship between Russian and ethnic languages.
