Putin warns against overuse of foreign words
MOSCOW, September 28 (RIA Novosti)
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin called on Russians on Wednesday not to overuse foreign words and said it demonstrates "a lack of self-confidence."
Putin discussed the issue during a meeting with representatives of the Russian Book Union.
He said he was "offended" by the practice of using foreign words in place of Russian ones to name things.
"When we rename a tekhnikum a college, this speaks about our lack of self-confidence," he added.
"We need time to realize that we are a great country, a great nation with a great culture, and we have a lot to be proud of," the prime minister said, adding "we have problems, but we solve them, sometimes probably better then our opponents."

I think only people with no culture like Lee Kuan Yew - someone who is lacking in self-confidence, lacking in culture, would want to impose an alien language as the dominant language in Singapore.
Lee Kuan Yew is betraying his insecurity and lack of confidence by suppressing local culture and imposing alien culture.
He is after all just a cultureless banana. Such a disgrace to have such filth as ruler.
The local culture is becoming more and more messed up, more and more weak under his rule.
Cultureless banana want to come and control chinese, malays and indians - shit is the result.
Harry Lee Kuan Yew, you messed up the local culture. I am not happy.
peranakan just say peranakan lah, still want to fake yourself as chinese. Pui.
Totally lacking in self confidence and culture.
