To create conditions for the preservation and study of the native languages of the peoples of the Russian Federation, which are part of Russia’s national treasure and historical and cultural heritage, the President resolved to deem it expedient to establish the Foundation for the Preservation and Study of the Native Languages of the Peoples of the Russian Federation.
The founders on behalf of the Russian Federation are the Ministry of Education and the Federal Agency for Ethnic Affairs. The Foundation’s assets are made up of contributions from the federal budget, voluntary property contributions and donations, and other sources in accordance with Russian legislation.
The relevant instructions have been given to the Government of the Russian Federation.
