Over the past 10 years, the Erzya people have lost 200 thousand people on the territory of Russia
Kyiv • UNN
Elder of Erzya people announced loss of 200 thousand representatives over the last 10 years due to Russian policy. Critical situation with studying Erzya language in schools, only 45 minutes per week are allocated.
Elder of Erzya people - Inyazor of Erzya people, head of Erzya society in Ukraine "Ěrzäń val" Boleian Syres says that 200 thousand representatives of his people were lost in Russia because of Putin's policy. He said this during a briefing on the occasion of the International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples, UNN reports .
Erzya people are a danger for Russia, because the existence of our peoples is a threat to the existence of Russia, because Russia is a reformatted USSR. We, the enslaved peoples, were the reason for the collapse of this empire. For the past 20 years, Moscow has been actively engaged in the destruction of peoples. First and foremost, the language is being destroyed, especially since 2017, when Putin announced that children should not be forced to learn their native language
He says the situation is critical now. National schools allocate 45 minutes per week to study Erzya language, in some cases there may be 1-2 lessons per week. "Over the past 10 years Erzya people lost 200 thousand people, and it is the same for all nations, that's why nations like us united in the League of Free Nations. This League works all over the world, but no one is actually heard. Ukrainians and we have only one problem - Moscow," Syres added.
