The monograph is a pioneering work in the field of political philosophy of language. Articulating the ambiguous relationship between language and politics, the author turns to historical material. A comparative analysis of the language policies of three revolutions - French, Russian and French again (the events of May 1968) - is intertwined with the presentation of key philosophical concepts of the 20th century, in particular the concept of majoritarian and minoritarian languages of J. Deleuze and F. Guattari, which is close to the author and is used to analyze language construction at crucial moments in history. The phenomena considered in this paper are presented from a variety of perspectives - political, aesthetic, linguistic and cultural. At the same time, the very formulation of the question is original and new: language, power, people, and the national question are considered here from the standpoint of modern philosophical theory.
