The native Russian speakers are not the ones whom my concern is primarily addressed to. Everyone familiar with life in Russia (and other post-Soviet countries) can distinguish the wheat from the chaf with respect to language use and style, but foreigners can mistakenly assume that this is how Russian is supposed to sound in ordinary life, which it is not. I believe they need some help in this regard, so that the front entrance to the language is a normal language of more or less educated people who are not involved in criminal business and take no interest in it. I suppose such people are still the majority despite some trends. All in all, the language will outlast any temporary phenomena, but this is another topic. My post was about one specific thing, i.e. moving all substandard and criminal-inspired language to a different section. It is not the best thing to have questions about the language of classical writers (which is often outdated, but this is more tolerable) and pseudo-Russian (totally ungrammatical or semantically deviant) slang in one section.
