Orel dialect (the Kursk-Orel “speech”) <strong>of</strong> the Russian language,which formed the basis <strong>of</strong> the Russian national language.The same must be said <strong>of</strong> the Poltava-Kiev dialect <strong>of</strong>the Ukrainian language, which formed the basis <strong>of</strong> theUkrainian national language. As for the other dialects <strong>of</strong>such languages, they lose their originality, merge with thoselanguages <strong>and</strong> disappear in them.Reverse processes also occur, when the single language <strong>of</strong>a nationality, which has not yet become a nation owing <strong>to</strong>the absence <strong>of</strong> the necessary economic conditions <strong>of</strong> development,collapses as a result <strong>of</strong> the disintegration <strong>of</strong> the state<strong>of</strong> that nationality, <strong>and</strong> the local dialects, which have notyet had time <strong>to</strong> be fully uniformized in the single language,revive <strong>and</strong> give rise <strong>to</strong> the formation <strong>of</strong> separate independentlanguages. Possibly, this was the case, for example, with thesingle Mongolian language.July 11, 1950Pravda, August 2, 195042
