There are about 100 written languages in the Russian Federation today along with the Russian language, of which 60 are used to create works of art.
Since 2016, the Program for Supporting National Literatures of the Peoples of the Russian Federation (hereinafter referred to as the Program) has being implemented in the Russian Federation under the auspices of the Organizing Committee for the Support of Literature, Book Publishing and Reading.
The Program involves 69 written languages, among them also 22 dialects and idioms.
As part of the Programme implementation, unique books from the series "Modern Literature of the Peoples of Russia" were published: "Poetry", "Children's Literature", "Prose", "Dramaturgy", "Artistic Publicism" and "Folk Wisdom." Currently, work is underway to prepare and release anthologies representing literature by language groups, within the framework of which the anthology "Poetry and Prose of the Finno-Ugric and Samoyed Peoples" has been put out.
A series of genre anthologies offers to a broad readership the works of contemporary authors writing in the languages of the peoples of the Russian Federation. It is for the first time that the compilation of this kind takes place and it knows no equals either in domestic or in world book publishing. In 2020, the anthology publishing project was awarded the Russian Federation Government Prize for its contribution to strengthening the unity of the Russian nation.
