Today, the whole world is going through a time when many things, values are being revised and put to the test. Every country, every state raises issues of national consciousness, issues of preserving national cultures, assets and heritage. This issue is particularly acute in multinational countries, and it should be noted that there are many of them. In order to live in peace in a multinational state, preserving one’s individuality, one must love one’s language, culture, cherish the values of one’s people, and, accordingly, respect people of other nationality with their unique culture. Kyrgyzstan is a multinational country. It is home to Kyrgyz, Uzbeks, Kazakhs, Russians, Tatars, Tajiks, Dungans and others. The language of interethnic communication for many years is Russian. We dare say that Russian is not only the language of our history and social and domestic communication, it is the language of the scientific, cultural, economic, political and social development of our state. It is an indisputable means of receiving quality secondary and higher education. The Kyrgyz language has only recently begun to function in all spheres of public life. Since 2004, when the law on the state language of the Kyrgyz Republic was adopted and the Presidential Decree «On further improvement of state policy, development of bilingualism and measures to create the necessary conditions for the effective functioning of the state and official languages in Kyrgyzstan» was issued, there has been extensive experience of interaction between the Kyrgyz and the Russian languages. However, today the linguistic situation in Kyrgyzstan is complex and heterogeneous. Many native linguists and sociolinguists in their time addressed the issue of studying language processes in modern society. So the historical period of formation and development has been sufficiently covered in the works of Soviet and post-Soviet researchers (Desheriev Y.D. 1968, 1976, Isaev M.I. 1978, 1979, Chotaeva Ch.D. 2003, 2018, Omuraliev N. 2004, Orusbaev A.O. 2006, Gavrilov K. 2008). They noted the dual nature of the language policy of the Soviet period. At that time great attention was paid to the creation and development of literary Kyrgyz, its social functions were expanded and its status in the society was strengthened. At the same time, the process of language unification and russification weakened the role of the national language in society and politics. Thus in the 80s the Russian language dominated in all spheres 22
