The State Duma called for replacing store signs with foreign words

Store owners should replace signs with Anglicisms and foreign borrowings in the near future. This was announced on July 4 by Chairman of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin.

"It would be right for the owners of shops and businesses to start replacing signage now, without waiting for the provisions of the law to come into force, as well as to reconsider approaches to organizing advertising campaigns," he wrote on the Telegram channel.

He noted that this has already been done in a number of cities, for example in Krasnodar, Yaroslavl and Magnitogorsk.

"I hope the streets of our cities will be transformed in the near future. And going through them, everyone will say with confidence that they are in Russia," the chairman of the State Duma summed up.

What our word will be called back: the State Duma has taken up the defense of the Russian language

There will be fewer Anglicisms and barbarisms.

On June 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law on the protection of the Russian language in public space. According to the document, information for consumers, including signage, advertising and signage, must be provided in Russian.
