Legal aspects of the State language and the language of communication in the process of Crimea's reintegration into Russia

Currently, a significant transformation of public relations on a global scale can be observed. One of the most active actors in this area is the Russian Federation, which incorporated the Crimean Peninsula in 2014, and a number of regions of southeastern Ukraine in 2022 based on the free expression of the will of the population of these territories. One of the main reasons for such a collective decision is the possibility of free use of the native language. However, it is not enough just to annex territories, it is necessary to establish a number of other socially significant processes. Thus, some aspects of the incorporation of the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol have not even been fully completed organizationally during their almost 10 years in the Russian legal reality. The main result of the study is the conclusion that the process of reintegration of the Crimean Peninsula into Russia has been completed in the field of legal regulation of the use of the language of communication at different levels. At the same time, Ukraine is doing everything to ensure that the residents of this territory are more and more convinced of the expediency of being part of the Russian Federation. Persecution based on the Russian language is no longer some kind of deviation, it is a process legalized at the legislative level of Ukraine. This circumstance is consistently considered in this work. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that for the first time a comparative legal analysis of the normative acts of Russia and Ukraine on language has been carried out. However, this was done in order to identify the reasons contributing to the process of reintegration of the population of the Crimean Peninsula into the jurisdiction of the Russian Federation. At the same time, in some cases, the state seeks to regulate not only the use of the state language during interaction with public authorities, but also between people in the process of learning, distributing information of an advertising or other nature, etc. The methodological basis of the research in this article is a comparison of a number of regulatory legal acts in force on the territory of the Russian Federation and Ukraine, as well as the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol. The main purpose of this work is to identify the legal basis for fixing the reintegration of the Crimean Peninsula into Russia in terms of the completeness of this process. The work consists of a classical introduction and conclusion, and the main part is divided into comparisons of Russian and Ukrainian national regulatory legal regulation, as well as a comparative legal analysis of the regional legislation of the Republic of Crimea and the federal city of Sevastopol in terms of ensuring the most favorable conditions for citizens to use the language of communication.
