Russian is one of the world (global) languages. This status was given to the language in the 20th century.

Over the next 90 years, the number of those who knew Russian increased to about 350 million people, of which 286 million lived in the USSR, where Russian was the state language and for most of its inhabitants was the native language, and more than 70 million people (mainly in the allied republics of the USSR, Eastern European, Balkan countries and a number of Asian countries) also knew the Russian language to one degree or another.

By 2004, the number of people who spoke Russian to varying degrees had dropped to 278 million, including 140 million in Russia itself. According to 2006 estimates, Russian is the native language for 130 million citizens of the Russian Federation, for 26.4 million inhabitants of other countries on the territory of the former USSR and for almost 7.4 million inhabitants of other countries (primarily Germany and other European countries, the USA and Israel). ), that is, for a total of 163.8 million people.

2023 День русского языка - "Русский язык в мире."

В рамках празднования Дня русского языка (6 июня) структуры Организации Объединенных Наций провели в Нью-Йорке, Женеве и Вене ряд виртуальных мероприятий, включая поэтические чтения, литературный концерт, театральные представления и дискуссии о русском языке.
Русский язык — один из мировых (глобальных) языков. Такой статус язык получил в XX веке. Распространение русского языка было во многом следствием деятельности Российской империи, затем СССР и современной России. Статус русского языка был закреплён в ООН, где русский является одним из шести официальных международных языков.
В начале XX века русским языком владели примерно 150 миллионов человек — в основном подданные Российской империи. На протяжении последующих 90 лет число знающих русский язык увеличилось примерно до 350 миллионов человек, причём 286 миллионов из них проживали в СССР, где русский был государственным языком и для большей части её жителей являлся родным языком, а ещё свыше 70 миллионов человек (преимущественно в союзных республиках СССР, восточноевропейских, балканских странах и ряде азиатских стран) также в той или иной мере знали русский язык.

К 2004 году число владеющих в различной степени русским языком сократилось до 278 миллионов человек, в том числе в самой России — до 140 миллионов человек. По оценкам 2006 года, русский язык является родным для 130 миллионов граждан Российской Федерации, для 26,4 миллионов жителей других стран на территории бывшего СССР и для почти 7,4 миллионов жителей остальных стран (прежде всего Германии и других стран Европы, США и Израиля), то есть в общей сложности для 163,8 миллионов человек. Ещё свыше 114 миллионов человек (данные на 2006 год) владеют русским как вторым языком (преимущественно в постсоветских странах) или знают его как иностранный.

По степени распространённости (общему количеству владеющих языком людей) русский в 2022 году занимал восьмое место в мире (258,2 млн) после английского (1,5 млрд носителей), мандаринского китайского (1,1 млрд), хинди (602,2 млн), испанского (548,3 млн), французского (274,1 млн), стандартного арабского (274,0 млн) и бенгальского (272,7 млн) языков. Среди языков, являющихся для их носителей родными, русский в 2022 году занимал седьмое место в мире (154 млн) после мандаринского китайского, испанского, английского, хинди, бенгальского и португальского языков.

По данным исследования W3Techs, в марте 2013 русский язык вышел на второе место по использованию в Интернете.

International Legal Forum St.Petersburg 2013, May 15th - 18th, 2013, St. Petersburg, Russia



St. Petersburg International Legal Forum :




 International Legal Forum St.Petersburg 2013

May 15th - 18th, 2013, St. Petersburg, Russia

 


St. Petersburg International Legal Forum has become an important event in the legal world in a short time. Its success is based on three main components. First, it is the participation of specialists of all legal areas. Second, we aim to make discussions practical as much as possible. Finally, we believe that participation of the leading experts from around the world advances the development of cooperation between the different legal systems.
Alexander Konovalov,
Minister of Justice of the Russian Federation
 The Forum attendees will include not only lawyers and arbitrators, but as well government representatives, Ministers of Justice, judges, and thus all aspects of international cooperation, including public law, will be covered. Discussion sessions related to this issue have shown good results at the last Forum. On my opinion, this format should be maintained, and the III Forum will be largely dedicated to the issues of public law.
Anton Ivanov,
Chairman of the Supreme Commercial Court of the Russian Federation
