Message from Andrei Fursenko,<br />

Minister of Education and Science of the Russian Federation,<br />

to the participants of the 2 nd International Conference<br />

“Linguistic and Cultural Diversity in Cyberspace”<br />

Esteemed colleagues, dear friends!<br />

I am pleased to greet the participants of the 2 nd International conference<br />

“Linguistic and Cultural Diversity in Cyberspace”!<br />

Native language is a great treasure for each nation. Learning it allows entering<br />

a unique world of moral and spiritual values, embodied in literature, arts<br />

and science. The importance of multilingualism development and promotion<br />

cannot be exaggerated, as languages are storehouses of the entire knowledge of<br />

mankind. Languages are a means of socialization, of representing and sharing<br />

cultural traditions of their speakers.<br />

In this context preserving languages and supporting minority languages and<br />

cultures is of vital importance.<br />

I feel sure that the conference will facilitate elaborating and implementing<br />

strategies of knowledge development in a world, where information and<br />

communication technologies are actively used.<br />

I wish you all successful, exciting and fruitful work!<br />

Andrei Fursenko<br />
