At the very start of the International Decade of Indigenous Languages, the Interregional Library Cooperation Centre released a unique publication “My Mother Tongue. Almanac 2022. Preservation of Indigenous Languages of Russia" which is now available online.

In this collection of analytical materials, prominent Russian experts representing Russia’s indigenous peoples analyse the current state, problems, and prospects of preserving their ethnic languages; the development and implementation of Russia’s national and regional policies aimed at revitalizing and promoting these languages; the achievements and shortcomings of such policies; and the role of the federal government, regional governments, cultural, scientific, educational, and civil society institutions, mass media, publishing houses, the private sector, and language communities.

The idea of preparing such a publication has originated with Evgeny Kuzmin, Chair of the Russian IFAP Committee, President of the Interregional Library Cooperation Centre.

The materials for the almanac were collected within the framework of the implementation in Russia of the UNESCO Information for All Programme (IFAP) and the My Mother Tongue Programme developed in 2019 by the Russian IFAP Committee and the Interregional Library Cooperation Centre based on IFAP's achievements and findings and designed for long-term implementation in different regions of Russia.

According to Ms Dorothy Gordon, Chair of the UNESCO IFAP Intergovernmental Council, this almanac is quite simply an inspirational book enriching our humanity: "It provides valuable policy insights from a group of experts who also represent the language and culture of the communities that readers are invited to discover. The authors have adopted a holistic and trans-disciplinary approach reflecting the diversity of their academic and working experience. They have been frank in their assessment of what has worked and what has not, basing their findings on multistakeholder engagement and in many cases longitudinal research. These in-depth analyses of the interactions between people and policy stand to guide those who are committed to making the IDIL work for the benefit of indigenous people and for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals."
