Why Russian?

I once knew an Azerbaijani. He was fluent in Russian, but not Azerbaijani. He said he only learned Russian at school in Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan hasn't been part of the USSR for a long time. Why do they still speak Russian there?

Because Azerbaijan has belonged much longer to Russia than it is independent and during this time was Russian official language and taught in schools.

As a result, it was not that with the release of 1991 from the Soviet Union, all the Azerbaijani people suddenly dominated their actual mother tongue.

If your acquaintance’s parents and grandparents only spoke Russian, it’s no wonder he speaks Russian as well.

Because in Ex Soviet countries this is handled and many people in these countries still speak Russian/ many Russians are living there

I read. The Dagestans were among the Persians (i.e. Afghans, Tajiks and Iranians (mostly but Iranians). Then the Arabs came and got Dagestan occlusion. Then the Iranians and Russians fought for Dagestan and Russia won. Dagestan is therefore original Iranian

Putin is a tyrant and I don’t think that even if Putin is gone from the window, the regions become independent

Do you have sources?

Yes I also want the independence of Dagestans. I believe that all regions in Russia should be independent. They have enough gas and oil, of which they can live and the European part of Russia will no longer be so powerful. You lose a lot. Independence is currently very difficult to get because of Putin

The chee want the Independents more. Chechnya was also independent for some time, through the Arabs. Dagestan used to be not Islamic. The Arabs and cheese have attacked Dagestan after the 1 Chechnya War and Russia has remixed, resulting in the 2 Chechnya War. So I know it, but I can’t say anymore because I don’t live in Dagestan but I know through social media that the chee want independence

For me personally it is only important that the Ukraine flag will not become a flag of Russia at some point

Russia is also much smaller, actually only has claimed other countries and peoples for themselves, and so now continues to see how to see Ukraine…

That’s the right war to lead no. But we are now and cheefully demonstrating for the independence of the two states. We can’t do anything for this, the current President of Chechnya, Kadyrov is doing nothing. But I can also say more precisely because I do not live in Dagestan, it is dangerous and poor there. I live in Siberia

I find the Russian flag ugly. I come from 4 countries, the others 3 are much more beautiful. Look at the Kazakh flag

Well, the North States of the United States have long been out of England. There, too, the languages of the natives were not the national language.

The Azerbaijani, whom I had met, was able to begin relatively little with the Russian language and culture, which led them back to the USSR.

It is only so: Russian has proven itself as Lingua Franca in the Caucasus and Central Asia, comparable to English. It facilitates economic, cultural and political exchanges.

There are also large migratory flows to Russia, in which the peoples of these countries are active as (bad paid) guest workers.
