Abstract
The paper examines the current state of the Russian language space as a result of the interaction of various geo-ethnocultural systems (the term was suggested by Sushhij & Druzhinin, 1994). The study area includes so-called “post-Soviet” countries, that is, countries that experienced the impact of the Russian geo-ethnocultural system in the 20th century. The time intervals covered by the study vary depending on the duration of the stay of those countries or their parts within a unified state. The unified state is thereby exemplified by the Grand Duchy of Moscow the Tsardom of Russia, the Russian Empire, the USSR, and the Russian Federation. The aim of the study is to test the hypothesis that there is a connection between the duration of the stay of a countries or regions within the unified state and the degree of change in their language space under the influence of the Russian geo-ethnocultural system. For this, the regions of the post-Soviet space were grouped depending on the duration of their stay within the unified state. The latest assessment of the state of the Russian language space was given for 2010. As a result of the study, the hypothesis was confirmed only as a general trend, and therefore attention was paid to the regions that fell out of this pattern. In particular, within the Russian Federation, the Kaliningrad region and the southern regions of the Far East have relatively recently become part of the unified state, but these territories are characterized by drastic language change. By contrast, in Chuvashia, Tatarstan, Bashkortostan, Kalmykia, Dagestan, Ingushetia and Chechnya, despite the long duration of their stay as a part of Russia, the least degree of transformation of their language space under the influence of the Russian geo-ethnocultural system is observed.
