How amusing.
The backstory is as follows: in February, the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the Oryol region took action against a job vacancy announcement by STORK-GROUP, which was written in C programming language, deeming it an advertisement in a foreign language. By law, such advertisement must be duplicated in Russian. The court was supposed to make a decision on the case today, but it was postponed to May 25, 2016.
If the court declares C a foreign language, it might lead to an interesting legal case, as in such case, programmers might try to demand recognition of themselves as an ethnic group or a small nation. A nation without its own state can use the right to self-determination, established in the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It will be interesting to observe the development.
If it does not recognize – the marketer of STORK-GROUP, who came up with such a move, deserves to be framed and hung on the wall.
P.S. They should have sued over goto
