That's a very controversial law, but one correction is due nonetheless: "for all *state* languages". Constitution says that the republics shall have the right to institute their own state languages. This law puts a constraint on that right. My understanding is that if a republic wants to institute a state language that is not written in cyrillic, the decision must be made at a federal level.
