Severely missing something

This is missing a key fact (covered in a documentary I watched earlier this year): the USSR had a programme of Latinising one local language then Cyrillicising a neighboring one, with the specific intent of producing mutual unintelligibility. This was focused especially on areas of Turkic and Siberian languages, to thwart the growth of large cultural and regional senses of identity and ability to coordinate resistance and share socio-political and cultural literature and other inspiration. I have no reliable sources on this (even the docu was a tertiary source), and have no library of USSR-related stuff. Someone who does could probably bang this out pretty quickly. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 01:52, 30 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
