Putin banned Russians from using foreign words

Exceptions are foreign words that do not have commonly used analogues in the Russian language.

Russian dictator Vladimir Putin signed a law banning the use of foreign words in certain areas.

Russian propaganda media write about this.

The Russians were forbidden to use words and expressions that “do not correspond to the norms of the literary Russian language, including obscene language.” It is also forbidden to use words of foreign origin that have an alternative in Russian.

Exceptions are foreign words that do not have commonly used analogues in the Russian language. A list of foreign words that have no analogues will be given in special dictionaries. Approve dictionaries and reference books of the Russian government.

Note that this decision caused a wave of jokes on the web. After all, for example, the words “democracy”, “president” are of foreign origin. Even the word “Russia” is Greek (Ρωσία), which is how the Greeks once called Rus'. This word was borrowed by Peter I for the name of his state, which was previously called “Muscovy”.

Earlier it was reported that Putin, along with Kabaeva, who is called his mistress, live in a residence in Valdai and spend money from the “common fund” in the environment of the dictator.
