The Russian Federation is a multinational state, as stated in the country’s constitution. In recent years, the concept of national state of Russia has also been developing. “Russian nation” means all the peoples living in Russia, rather than ethnically the Russians. In this context, the role of the Russian, which is considered the native of the new civil nation, is now not only reviewed as the state language in interethnic communication, but also. Since many people in the Russian Federation who perceive Russian nationalism as ethnic are afraid of forced Russification, these changes lead to serious debate in the public. The draft law, which was submitted to the Russian parliament in April 2018, proposed to cancel compulsory learning of the native languages. While this initiative caused dissatisfaction in the Caucasian republics and the Caucasian diaspora (Cerkes), this dissatisfaction was exhausted by numerous calls on assemblies, strikes and the cancellation of the law. As a result of social discussions, significant changes were made in the draft law in June 2018. According to the new version of the law, the mother has preserved its mandatory status. As well as obtaining the mandatory native status in Russian, students were included in the list of native ones they would choose. The writers use the analysis of events and speech to show the differences between the perceptions of the "National Language Law" in the North Caucasus and the Cherkes diaspora.
