The answer is - Russian

Explanation:

In the 1970s, the Russian language was the most foreign language of the countries of Central Asia.

There is a section of Central Asia that was formally controlled by the Soviet Union, it is known as Soviet Central Asia. Due to the common Russian (Czarist / Soviet Union) past, the Russian language is widespread throughout Central Asia and is still used as the lingua franca (common or official language). The spread of Russian, however, is steadily decreasing. In Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan Russian is still an official language.
