  2. The Soviet's view on language doesn't sound that different from the United States. The US doesn't have an official language, but it is unofficially English. Every public school is required to teach English in every grade - even for public schools that primarily teach in Spanish. The idea of a common language is that every American can integrate economically and socially with one another. The difference is that unlike the Soviets, secondary languages aren't oppressed due to fear of independence movements in the United States. If anything, these secondary languages just add more words to the American lexicon.

  6.  @trex2621  That may be true, but the US has more ethnic groups than anywhere in the world. Many form their own communities where they are free to speak their motherlands' languages. I had great grandmother that only spoke Serbian and a great grandfather that only spoke Italian. All of their children were taught English in public school even though the primary languages in their neighborhoods weren't English.

  9.  @Stamboul  I'm not saying they were the same. My point was the policies on having a common language were similar in the case of promoting unity, but drastically different when came to suppressing the non-core language.
