Cultural and linguistic minorities in the Russian Federation and the European Union : comparative studies on equality and diversity

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.--Provided by publisher"@en
