Russification (), Russianisation or Russianization, is a form of cultural assimilation in which non-Russians adopt Russian culture and Russian language either voluntarily or as a result of a deliberate state policy.
Russification is a process of cultural assimilation in which non-Russian people adopt Russian culture and language, either by choice or through deliberate government policies. It matters because it has shaped the cultural and linguistic identities of many nations historically, as seen in examples like Belarus where street signs were replaced from the local language to Russian.
