Russification: Un<strong>de</strong>r the Russian Empire there were some<br />

attempts in 1899-1917 to make Russian the only official language of<br />

Finland. In the Soviet Union, following the phase of Korenizatsiya<br />

("indigenization") and before Perestroika (late 1930s to late 1980s),<br />

Russian was termed as "the language of friendship of nations", to the<br />

disadvantage of other languages of the Soviet Union.<br />

Age discrimination - is discrimination on the grounds of age; can<br />

refer to the discrimination against any age group, usually comes in one of<br />

three forms: discrimination against youth (also called adultism),<br />

discrimination against those 40 years old or ol<strong>de</strong>r, and discrimination<br />

against el<strong>de</strong>rly people.<br />

Sex, Gen<strong>de</strong>r and Gen<strong>de</strong>r I<strong>de</strong>ntity discrimination - refers to<br />

beliefs and attitu<strong>de</strong>s in relation to the gen<strong>de</strong>r of a person, such beliefs and<br />

of people who are not, is called ableism or disablism. Disability<br />

discrimination, which treats non-disabled individuals as the standard of<br />
