KOMI
FINNO-UGRIC LITERATURE TO BE TAUGHT IN RUSSIAN.
A scandal has erupted at the state university in Syktyvkar, the
capital of the Komi Republic, because almost the entire staff of the
department for Komi Folklore and Finno-Ugric literature has been
fired, RFE/RL's Syktyvkar correspondent reported on 28 April. The
department is the main center for preparing teachers of Komi
literature for national schools in the republic. The teachers wrote
letters of complaint to the head of the Komi Republic, his deputies,
the Ministry for Nationality Affairs, and the Ministry for People's
Education, but they have not responded. And so far, the affair has
been reported on only in "Tribuna" and "Krasnoe znamya" and not in the
Komi press. The teachers protested against the introduction of a new
policy of teaching Komi folklore and literature in Russian rather than
in Komi. JAC
