Government decree #714/2006 made the Ministry of Education responsible for creating a list of approved reference materials. I don't know if this list exist. So there is a body which may decide which dictionaries and reference materials should be used by the federal bodies (and in some other situations), but it doesn't define the rules of the language, nor it doesn't mandate rules for the non-official language use. | |

Confusingly, some of the other states also attempt to regulate rules of Russian language. For example, Ukraine mandates use of preposition "в" with the name of their country, Ukraine even though Russian literary norm requires "на". All Ukrainian documents in Russian such as travel declarations use "в". Similarly, in Belarus the law requires the name of the country in Russian to be "Беларусь" even though the Russian norm was "Белоруссия". This parked controversy at a time, but now in seems Russia adopted the Belorussian spelling. | |

Or do you know if there is an approved and officially recommended source of this information (a recognized dictionary, reference book)? | |
