Deputy State Duma Zhurlev called for the complete abandonment of the study of foreign languages ​​in Russian schools. He explained this by saying that the knowledge and their use are "signs of a creeping submission to the West". Also, the use of foreign languages, in his opinion, could lead to a revolution, as in 1917, since "the common people did not understand" French, spoken by educated people. Speaking about the excessive dominance of foreign languages ​​in Russia, Zhurlev recalled his last flight to Bashkiria. True, the deputy of the State Duma was not able to do this without cursing. "I take a card - and not a single word in Russian. The announcements on the plane are in Russian and English. It feels as if we are flying to London, in ****, and not to Bashkiria."
