  Russification of Finland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Russification of Finland (1899-1905, 1908-1917, sortokaudet (times of oppression) in Finnish) was a governmental policy of the Russian Empire aimed at the termination of Finland’s autonomy.
In retrospect, Finnish resistance to the policy of russification was one of the main factors that ultimately led to Finland's declaration of independence in 1917.
The Russification campaign was suspended and partially reversed in 1905–07 during a period of civil unrest throughout the Russian empire following Russian defeats in the Russo-Japanese War.

 Russification - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In a narrow sense, Russification is used to denote the influence of the Russian language on Slavic, Baltic and other languages, spoken in areas currently or formerly controlled by Russia, which led to emerging of russianisms and surzhyk.
One example of 19th century Russification was the replacement of the Polish, Belarusian, and Lithuanian languages by Russian in those areas of the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth which became part of the Russian Empire after the Partitions of Poland.
Some international NGOs argue that Russification policies are occurring in republics inside the Russian Federation like Mari El, but Putin's administration has denied these accusations, and retorted by charging that the NGOs are attempting to destabilize the Volga Republics, as they had, according to the opinion of Russians, done to Chechnya in the past.

 ::Russification::
Russification was designed to take the sting out of those who wanted to reform Russia and to bind all the Russian people around one person — the tsar.
Before Alexander III, Russification meant that all the tsar’s subjects, whatever their nationality, should be accepted by the tsar as being ethnic groups in their own right provided that they acknowledged their allegiance to the Russian state, which included the government and the church.
Russification had no time for small ethnic groups that were more concerned about their culture at the expense of Russia’s as a whole.

 Finland - The Era of Russification   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
These military considerations were decisive in leading the tsarist government to implement Russification, and it was a Russian military officer, Nikolai Ivanovich Bobrikov, who, in October 1898, became the new governor-general and the eventual instrument of the policy.
The first major measure of Russification was the February Manifesto of 1899, an imperial decree that asserted the right of the tsarist government to rule Finland without consulting either the Finnish Senate or the Diet.
Those most opposed to Russification were the Constitutionalists, who stressed their adherence to Finland's traditional system of government and their desire to have it respected by the Russian government.

 Belarus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
During Joseph Stalin's era, a policy of russification was started to "protect" Byelorussian SSR from influences by the West.
In 1986, a huge part of Belarus was affected by the fallout from the Chernobyl power plant accident in neighboring Ukraine.
President Lukashenko has introduced laws that force radio and television stations to showcase a percentage of Belarusian talent daily, but it does not specify whether the performance has to be in the Belarusian or Russian language.

But the more able Orthodox graduates were dissatisfied with the lowly social status of a state elementary school teachers and tried to use their jobs as a stepping stone to a better position, a practice which, naturally, hindered the teaching process.
The policy of Russification that was carried out through the schools hampered the Lithuanian peasants' struggle for an education.
In their view, the most important argument in the apologia for Russification was the fact that the eastern half of the medieval Lithuanian state had been Orthodox.

 Russification - The New York Times Editorial 7/6/1972   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
What is most remarkable about the recent outburst of overt Lithuanian resistance is the role of the young, of those who were born and grew up under Soviet rule and have no memories of an independent Lithuanian state.
But there is every reason to suppose that there is similar nationalist passion in the Ukraine, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and other non-Russian republics, not to mention the other two Baltic states of Latvia and Estonia.
If the non-Russian minorities were ever able to integrate their activities and present a united front against russification, Moscow would have a major challenge on its hands.

 Language Policy in the former Soviet Union
Before the Revolution, Lenin and the Bolsheviks, meeting clandestinely in various places, developed a strategy (1903) on language that would have, at first, continued the hegemony of Russian in Slavic areas at least, but under pressure from especially the Poles, a more tolerant and pluralist policy was planned.
Covertly this is russification but overtly it was used to glorify and unify, and prepare for war with Germany.
By the late 1930's mass illiteracy was gone, mass opposition to sovietization was overcome, and cultural proletarianization had become wedded to russification, partly to pacify segments of the Russian population.

To make up for the industrial loss, Stalin ordered the building of new factories and plants, more efficient than most of those elsewhere in the Soviet Union.
One of the devices Stalin used to "protect" Belorussia (and the rest of the Soviet Union) against possible Western influences was a program of intensive Russification, thus creating a cordon sanitaire for Russia along the Polish border.
Consequently, most key positions in Minsk, as well as in the western provincial cities of Hrodna (Grodno, in Russian) and Brest, were filled by Russians sent from elsewhere in the Soviet Union.

Following is the text of the March 3 "Protest Against Russification of Ukraine" issued by the presidium of the World Scholarly Council of the Ukrainian World Congress.
It may appear that the concern is merely about the rights of the Russian minority or of the "Russian-speaking population" in Ukraine, but in reality, the proposal represents an attempt at legitimizing the political and economic aims of transforming Ukraine into a Russian province.
The letter states, "The language situation in the country is a clear evidence of inequality precisely of the Ukrainian and not the Russian language: information networks, book publishing, movies and television markets are all spheres dominated by the language of the 'older brother.'"

But he decided to try and found a Russification program (I did not heard about it before) called "Chameleon", where authors promised that it will be possible to get back original non-Russian configuration.
Same can happen with Russian file/folder names - you make Cyrillic a system code page, create some files/folders with Cyrillic letters in their names, then switch back to the original "Western" configuration and there you may accidentally corrupt these Russian files/folders and they become unusable when you switch to Russian mode again.
To be more specific, it may be possible to do it as a one-way ticket, that is, to change system code page forever, but what often is not possible is a return of an original non-Russian configuration, especially if it was not "Western".

The puppet pro-Russian Transnistrian Moldavian Republic separatist regime established in the occupied territory is undemocratic, and since 1992 no rotations in the political power have taken place in this area.
The Transnistrian regime has enforced Russification, the denationalization of ethnic Ukrainians and the discrimination against Moldavians (the attacks of Transdnestrian police against the Moldavian schools from Tiraspol, Tighina (Bender), and Rîbniţa in 2004).
The Moldovan flag is similar to the flag of Romania, with the same color, but with the addition of a coat of arms, expressing the link between the same nation.
