Quote:In the former USSR and it's 15 republics, there was only 1 official language. When you consider that it is only Russia and Belarus that have Russian as their native tongue (I believe this is so, taken from memory not sources), the picture becomes clear. I do know that most if not all of the old republics have reverted to their old language.I think I read that some had tried, but it was too expensive to have everything reprinted.
Another example is the University of Vilnius; it used to teach in Polish.
