“If teaching the Uzbek language in Russia is discrimination against Russians, what about teaching the Russian language in Uzbekistan?” – Kadyrov

"Teaching the Uzbek language in Russian schools is perceived as discrimination against the Russian nation. But isn't teaching in Russian in Uzbekistan's schools also discriminatory against Uzbeks?" says Alisher Kadyrov.

In his opinion, if the attitude towards Uzbeks and the Uzbek language in Russia is akin to that of Delyagin, then the treatment of the Russian language in Uzbekistan should also be thoroughly reconsidered.

It is worth noting that during a meeting with the Vice-Speaker of the Russian State Duma, Vladislav Davankov, the head of the Department of Youth Policy of the Presidential Administration of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Qakhraman Kuranbayev, mentioned that the Russian government had requested assistance in establishing private kindergartens and schools for the children of migrant workers within the country, funded by the Uzbek diaspora.

Russian deputy Mikhail Delyagin expressed the opinion that this initiative does not comply with the country's laws, asserting, "This is a deliberate policy to internally weaken and eventually dismantle Russia. They are attempting to create enclaves that are initially foreign and eventually hostile."

Previously, Gennady Semigin, the head of the Russian State Duma's Committee on National Affairs, also voiced strong concerns about the settlement of migrants in the country.
