A question prompted by the post below:

[underlankers.livejournal.com]

How is Israel in the West Bank different in any way from the Soviet policy back in the Soviet era of settling Russians in non-Russophone territory or the Chinese Sinicizations of Tibet and Uighurstan? 

It's a simple question, which will no doubt product convoluted and complex answers.

My info comes from Georgia and Baltic States, where does your info come from?

[kunaifusu.livejournal.com]

From the USSR.

[redheadrat.livejournal.com]

What part?

[kunaifusu.livejournal.com]

It was the Union policy, not a local.

[redheadrat.livejournal.com]

So how come there were many regions with bi-lingual schools?

[kunaifusu.livejournal.com]

You mean secondary schools? Because the secondary education was compulsory in the USSR, just like in US. If you are talking about higher education please name a couple of the top bi-lingual schools, I've never heard of them.

Tbilisi State University

USSR policy was in introduction of POLITICALLY right people (of all backgrounds) to new areas to take control of the political, educational, and economic processes

in underdeveloped regions with little infrastructure that meant simple introduction of new services, in well developed regions that meant forced removal of old and replacement with new

Tbilisi State University

Just one? With so many schools? TSU is not a top school, sorry to inform you. Look in google scholar if you don't believe me.

[redheadrat.livejournal.com]

I gave you one example that I know personally. TSU used to be one of top Soviet schools.

But if it really matters for you, check transcripts of people who graduated from Kiev State, Alma-Ata State, etc

[kunaifusu.livejournal.com]

Kiev State was bilingual? I doubt this very much. Alma-Ata State is on the same level with TSU.
