"I am very grateful to our President Putin for approving the foundations of the state language policy. The Russian language is a powerful weapon, and it needs to be constantly honed. I am also happy that Putin has instructed us to reduce the use in Russia of foreign words that have common Russian equivalents. But this measure seems insufficient to me. It is necessary to fight for the purity of the language more seriously," Alexander Gelievich said in a commentary for our channel.
He proposed criminalizing the use of foreign words in Russia. And punish violators with prison.
"The punishment for everyone should be different. Young people who foolishly use foreign words can be punished lightly - 15 days or a maximum of half a year of correctional labor. But for politicians, journalists, writers, businessmen, peddlers who draw foreign words on signs and labels, the punishment should be much more serious. They should be imprisoned for a long time, at least 10 years, for polluting public space and waging war on Russian culture," Dugin believes.
He proposed to introduce a particularly harsh punishment for the frequent use of English and French words, and a slightly lesser punishment for German words, "without which it is difficult for a real philosopher to do without".
Alexander Gelievich promised that the president would soon consider his proposal.
