Business Russian language as a tool for increasing the entrepreneurial initiative of the youth of Central Asian countries: updating interstate contacts Head of the project – Professor Irina Britvina Within the framework of the public administration issues, the promotion of the Russian language in Central Asian countries is a political and socio–cultural project that must be managed competently. To do this, we need to use the coordination and interaction of government and civil society, understand the state of the political situation in a particular country, resort to marketing and project approaches, to know the characteristics of the target audience (youth) and its needs. Russian foreign policy aims to strengthen Russia's role in the global humanitarian space, to spread and strengthen the position of the Russian language in the world, to popularize the achievements of national culture. The project solves the task of planning (in cooperation with NGOs) the promotion of the Russian language as a literary language, as the language of "festive" Russian culture, the language of humor. |
