Patrick Sériot, Rome, Byzantium and language policy in USSR.
This article describes the present day Soviet interpretation (1984) of the opposition between the Orthodox and the Roman Catholic Churches on the social and linguistic plan. Its object is not to compare the discourse and historical facts but to study how an argument of linguistic type is utilised to justify the thesis of Soviet linguistic policy.
The argument is based on different treatment of local languages by the Catholic Church (imposition of Latin as the only language of cult) and the Orthodox Church (respect of local languages, in particular of the Slavic language), the continuity between the present day Soviet territory and the ecclesiastical Byzantine jurisdiction (for instance : Moldavia or the Soviet-Polish border), and the popular character of Orthodox religion.
This discourse of reappropriation of national history is at the centre of the question of Russian identity. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
