Georgievsky, E.V. On history of prohibition of offensive language.

Abstract: The distortion of modern Russian spoken language with the offensive language poses a threat not only to the ethnic and cultural identity of the Russian people, but to the national security of the Russian state. The cynical use of the offensive language in the everyday conversations of the grown-up people is understood as totally normal by the younger generation. One could easily imagine, what may happen to our language in the nearest future, unless we try to change the situation considerably. The history of Russian law shows that the Russian Orthodox Church was diligent in protecting Russian language against offensive language within the framework of its criminal legal jurisdiction for the protection of human dignity in the period since XI to XVII centuries. However, its efforts alone may be insufficient, unless the efficient legislative measures are taken against use of offensive language.


Keywords:

jurisprudence, swear words, offensive words, offending, insult, the church Ustav, obscene, linguistic and historical, identity.
