'''Cultural colonialism''' refers to internal [[domination]] by one group and its [[culture]] or [[ideology]] over others.
An example comes from the domination over the former [[Soviet Union]] by [[Russian language]] and [[Russian culture|culture]]. Dominant cultures make themselves the official culture; [[School]]s, the [[Mass media|media]], and public interaction reflect this. Under Soviet rule [[Minority group|ethnic minorities]] had very limited self–rule in [[Republics of the Soviet Union|republics]] and regions controlled by [[Moscow]]. The oneness of '''socialist internationalism''' was to unite all the republics and their peoples. A common technique in cultural [[colonialism]] is to flood ethnic areas with members of the dominant [[ethnic group]].
