Entertaining stories about the Russian language. Scientific facts about the Russian language

Did you know how many interesting facts there are about the Russian language? No! Then this article is a must read for you.

Russian is one of the languages ​​of international communication, especially in the post-Soviet space.

It has been poeticized by many writers and has many fans among foreigners who want to study it only at the behest of their hearts, and not because it is necessary.

Literate people naturally know the basic rules of grammar, spelling, and punctuation, but few know them.

But in vain, because it really is much more exciting and interesting than cramming rules from a textbook.

“The Russian language is an interesting fact in itself”

This is exactly what my teacher of Russian language and literature said.

I have never met a teacher more passionate about his subject in my entire academic life.

She not only taught us to write and speak Russian, she literally reveled in its sound.

And her lessons were incredibly exciting and interesting, because she taught them in an original way, actively used visual aids and constantly told something interesting that you couldn’t read in a textbook.

Russian language is one of the East Slavic languages.

It is state-owned in the Russian Federation, and also official in some countries of the former USSR, for example, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, etc.

It is widespread in the world (ranks eighth in the number of people who consider it their family).

It is spoken by over 250 million people around the world.

There are powerful Russian-speaking communities not only in most republics of the former USSR, but also in countries that are geographically distant from the Russian Federation: the USA, Turkey, Israel and others.

It is also considered one of the 6 working languages ​​of the United Nations.

In general, there are plenty of reasons to have a good command of the Russian language (whether it is your native language or not is not so important).

But, alas, it is not easy for foreigners, especially those whose native language is not part of the Slavic group, to master Russian.

It has an interesting alphabet with unique letters, for example, “ъ”, words that are written and sounded completely differently, variable endings, distribution of words by gender, type and case, many rules and exceptions to these rules.

What also distinguishes the Russian language from others is that you can give many interesting facts about it.

Interesting facts about Russian letters


Well, it would seem that what is so interesting about the letters, especially in the letters of the Russian language, especially for the countries neighboring the Russian Federation, for whose residents Russian, although not their native language, is familiar and understandable.

But as it turned out, there are many interesting facts about the letters of the Russian language:

    The letter “f,” which is familiar and understandable to us today, turns out to have its own peculiarity: most of the words with it are borrowed from others.

    A.S. knew this very well. Pushkin tried to use such words less in his “The Tale of Tsar Saltan”.

    Besides the word “fleet” you will not find anything else in the “Fairy Tale”.

    How many words can you remember that begin with the letter “y”?

    Well, maybe 5-6 at most.

    But it turns out that there are over 70 such words in the Russian language.

    Do you know words that start with the letter “s”?

    Personally, I don’t.

    It turns out that there are such words, although they are all unpronounceable geographical names, for example, Ynykhsyt or Ytyk-kyuel.

    It seems incredible that there could be a word that contains three identical letters in a row.

    But the Russian language has distinguished itself here too, because it can boast of the word “long-necked”.

    The letters "i" and "a" can serve as prefixes.

    Want examples?

    Please: “total”, “maybe”.

Interesting facts about Russian words


“If so many interesting facts are known about letters, then there must be an infinite number of them about the words of this wonderful language,” I thought and turned out to be absolutely right.

Here are some interesting things about Russian words:

    Monosyllabic words are not uncommon in the Russian language, but for some reason most adjectives contain two or more syllables.

    The only exception to this rule is “evil”.

    You would never guess (at least I definitely wouldn’t guess) that two such different words as “bull” and “bee” have the same root.

    Do you know why?

    Because earlier they used to say “buchela” to a honey-bearing insect, and the sounds that both bulls and bees made were called “booming.”

  1. There are quite a lot of words in the Russian language that have 10 or more letters, and we won’t be too surprised by words that have more than 20 letters.
  2. Ah, that terrible word “win”, which cannot be used in the first person.

    How many people were forced to blush, muttering inaudibly “I will win...”, “I will run...”, trying to find a way out of the bad situation into which they had driven themselves.

    By the way, this is not the only “insufficient verb” (one that cannot be used in the first person) in the Russian language.

    If someone wants to correct you that the word “coffee” is masculine, you can safely tell him:

    "Your information is out of date."

    In 2009, the Ministry of Education itself admitted that coffee is neuter.

    The pundits apologized for the mistake that had crept in: “coffee” is a derivative of “coffee,” which is actually masculine.


Are there not enough interesting facts about the Russian language for you?

So catch a few more:

  1. The alphabet of the Russian language is the Cyrillic alphabet, which was subject to civil modification (I don’t know what that means, but Wikipedia says so☺).
  2. God alone knows why, but until the 14th century, linguists, writers and other literate Russians called all words with a not very decent meaning “ridiculous verbs,” even if they were not verbs at all.
  3. We can be proud that in 2003 an interesting fact about the Russian language was included in the Guinness Book of Records.

    The people keeping records were amazed that we had a 35-letter word: “highly considerate.”

    In the Russian Federation, 99.4% of residents speak Russian fluently.

    True, I think no one surveyed labor migrants, of whom there are so many now, but oh well, this figure is still impressive.

    The Russian language is gradually losing its position as the “official language” in many former Soviet republics due to the fact that it is being replaced by the state language of these countries.

In the video below you will find 12 more interesting facts about the Russian language:

What facts about the Russian language seem interesting to foreigners?

But what facts about the Russian language seem most interesting to foreigners:

    Why are there two letters in the alphabet that do not represent sounds: “ъ” and “ь”.

    “This is some kind of absurdity,” many foreigners think.

    Well, how can it be that such a good word as “to be” cannot exist in the present tense?

    But it feels great in the past and future.

    Well, is it really so difficult to come up with a word to address?

    “Comrade” and “citizen” went out of fashion, “Mr.” and “Madam” never caught on.

    And “man” and “woman” sound rude.

    What remains? "Hey you"?

    On the one hand, the order of words in sentences is arbitrary, but on the other hand, you cannot rearrange them as you please.

    For example, rearrange the words in the short sentence “I’m going home” and you will have a new meaning each time.

    To turn an affirmative sentence into an interrogative one, all you need is a question mark at the end and the appropriate intonation.

    No special words or constructions.

Of course, that's not all interesting facts about the Russian language.

There are so many of them that you can’t remember them all, and it’s quite difficult to talk about everything within one article.

Which fact do you find most interesting?

As the classics said, “The Great and Mighty Russian Language.” Why is he so “powerful” and why is he “great”? You can give a bunch of arguments for the most extensive possibilities and the largest database of synonyms. How many analogues can you think of for the word “beautiful”? Without delving into the wilds and dictionaries, there are about 20, while in other dialects there are at most 5-7. You can give examples of subtlety and Slavic humor. They don’t even know such a thing as “sarcasm” in other languages. You can also condemn and reject Russian swearing, but changing its role in our lives is very difficult. The same word, pronounced with different intonation, can mean completely dissimilar concepts; placing emphasis in a sentence can radically change the meaning of the phrase. And many terms over the last couple of centuries have radically changed their meaning, thanks to the mixing of adverbs, jargons and the popularization of foreign terms.

In the Russian Federation and about a dozen other countries, Russian is the official state language, and around the world it is spoken to varying degrees by over 250 million people. This is from official data, but in fact, almost every second person on earth knows at least a couple of expressions in Russian, and every tenth person can even connect words into simple sentences.

The origin of the Old Russian language and its history

When it comes to the origin of the Russian language, scientists disagree; some say that the origins were Sanskrit, others call the Proto-Slavic dialect of the Indo-European group. There are practically no reliable sources left, only guesses and assumptions. According to its structure and general lexical features, it belongs to the East Slavic subgroup of the Slavic group from the general branch of Indo-European languages.


The first mentions of Slavic letters date back to the year of the appearance of writing, which was brought into our lives by the famous Cyril and Methodius, namely 863. Thus, the Old Church Slavonic language appeared specifically for the purpose of translating church books and writings. It was originally bookish and had little in common with the modern one, but its appearance gave rise to the development of literature and culture of our country. Church books gradually spread among the population and literary works began to appear on their basis. The first books were: “The Tale of Boris and Gleb” from the beginning of the 11th century, “The Tale of Bygone Years”, dated 1113, “The Tale of Igor’s Campaign” 1185-1188 and many others.

And already by the 16th century, the first rules of writing and pronunciation, the so-called grammatical normalization of the language, appeared in Moscow, and it was recognized as national in the territory of the Muscovite kingdom. Over the next few centuries, it was modified, supplemented, absorbing words and concepts from other countries and dialects, taking on new forms and changing like a living organism in order to reach us in its “majesty” and “power”

Scientific facts about the Russian language

In addition to the proud statements of the Russian-speaking part of the globe about his power, there are indisputable facts confirmed by the Guinness Book of Records and other sources. Let's consider the main ones:

5th place in prevalence among the world population speaks of the wide geography of Russian communities in other countries and the popularity of the language among foreigners.


  • Our language has generic forms of verbs that others do not have. For example, “he went”, “she went”.
  • At school they study 6 main cases of nouns, but in fact there are 10 of them.
  • Almost any word in speech can be replaced with a synonym without much loss of meaning.
  • All the words starting with the letter “F” that are used everywhere today came to us from other countries.
  • Foreigners cannot understand the difference between the pronunciation of words with and without “ъ”. For them, the words “entrance” and “entrance” sound exactly the same. This is due to the peculiarities of the development of the hearing and speech apparatus during the period of socialization.
  • “Obscene Russian” is not a figure of speech, but a special dialect in which you can explain a problem to a person and talk. As paradoxical as it may sound, no other language in the world has so many abusive and meaningful words.


  • Although the Japanese language is difficult to write, in colloquial speech it comes in second place after Russian; too much depends on the intonation and placement of words in a sentence.
  • Slavic and Russian literature is recognized as the most beautiful, the poems sound melodic and harmonious. It is believed that the poets of our country could not become famous in the world if their original works were sounded in other languages.
  • Due to the unpronounceability of some sounds, learning is a lot of difficulty for the Japanese, Chinese, Turks and most blacks. Japanese, for example, does not have an "r" sound, so they are physically unable to pronounce it. Because of this, they cannot hear the difference between the letters "r" and "l".

If you carefully study the history of the Russian language and its features, then much more such facts can be cited. Linguists and scientists constantly find interesting relationships between different words and concepts. Fun facts about the peculiarities of spoken language and mentality add up to stories and anecdotes told around the world.


Having undergone significant changes and infusions, the Russian language has reached us in the modern world, and we can observe its metamorphoses every 5-10 years. This is due to the development of electronics and computerization of the whole world, changes in worldviews and beliefs, and new trends in political or social reforms. Just 10 years ago, a copywriter was a writer, and bloggers and YouTubers were just taking their first steps in this field. At that time, gender reforms had not yet been carried out in many European countries, and disagreements and new developments in speech and concepts had not yet appeared. And social networks like Instagram did not exist. The speech of the modern generation directly depends on changes in the image, pace and rhythm of life in cities, an increase in the quantity and volume of information received.

Phonetics and spelling

According to phonetic features, the Russian language belongs to the consonantal type, which means the predominance of consonant phonemes over vowels by approximately 37 to 5. Depending on the combination, consonant letters are pronounced differently. The graphic system is quite rational; the alphabet has 33 letters, and the unit of writing or reading is a syllable or letter combination. Spelling has features of a phonemic type, that is, regardless of pronunciation, the spelling will be dictionary. As for grammar, the Russian language is classified as an inflectional, or synthetic, type. This means that the grammatical load goes mainly to endings. All nouns are declined according to the main cases and differ greatly in the “animate/inanimate” attribute.


The vocabulary of our everyday speech is full of synonyms, homonyms, antonyms, paronyms and other options for the relationship of words in a sentence with each other. In addition, all concepts are conventionally divided into original and borrowed, which significantly increases the number of errors in their writing and use.

Many phrases disappear over time from everyday speech (historicisms) or are replaced by concepts from another language or dialectical variants (archaisms). Thus, the overall picture and sound take on completely different shapes.

The sound of the Russian language allows us to call it very melodic. The peculiarities of songs and vocal art require a certain arrangement of words and sounds to create harmony. Russian, English and French are recognized as the most “convenient” languages ​​for writing songs.


Funny Idioms and Spoonerisms

Any language is full of various jokes and idioms that are fully understandable only to native speakers. Russian is no exception, where jokes and jokes are an integral part of folklore and everyday communication. There is no such number of humorous programs and movements in any country in the world: KVN, Stand-Up, performances by comedians, comedy shows, comedies and much more. Many jokes and anecdotes are associated with the peculiarities of the mentality of Russian people and attempts to explain them to foreigners. Changing intonation, adding one letter, rearranging words - and the text changes its original meaning radically. And adding obscene subtext is the basis for 90% of jokes in Russian.


Just as the composition of everyday words and phrases changes over the years and lifestyle, so humor is filled with new colors, absorbing the features of life, political and historical events, art and music.

Idioms, or untranslatable expressions, are inherent in any language in the world. Among the popular set expressions that cannot be explained to a foreigner, fully conveying its meaning:

  • “You can’t get around to looking.”
  • “It’s written on water with a pitchfork.”
  • “Knock out wedge with wedge.”
  • “Pour from empty to empty.”
  • “Like hell from incense” and many others.

The same applies to Russian verbs, which have completely different meanings depending on the context. For example, the verb “sit”, familiar to the Russian ear. How to translate the phrases “a bird is sitting”, “a prisoner is sitting”, “a thought is sitting in the head” - the verb is the same, but the meaning is completely different in each phrase. You can also give an example of the verb “goes”: when a person goes to work, everything is clear. And when it rains or a movie is on? Or is it your second year of study? There are a huge number of such examples. This is why many visitors fall in love with the country and the language, absorb the strangeness of the mentality and try to understand the Russian language, because learning it is not enough.

Spoonerisms are another trend in the humorous folklore of all languages ​​of the world, when words are partially changed by syllables and receive a completely new meaning at the end:

  • “Visitors are not woken” from the original phrase “winners are not judged”;
  • “armored temkin diarrhea”;
  • the famous "carriage dear dear"
  • “braided tongue” and many others.

Most often they are born as a result of reservations, as was the case at the dawn of the term. Its founder is considered to be the English teacher W.A. Spooner, who often got confused in his words and gave out absolutely amazing phrases.

As a conclusion

Only a native speaker can fully understand the meaning of many expressions and explain them; even if a person has lived in the country for many years, he still cannot understand individual words. The words “anadys”, “the other day”, “hangover”, “oblivion” and many others simply have no analogues among most languages. And attempts to explain them to a foreigner will most likely lead to nothing.

The richness of the Russian language lies not only in idioms and untranslatable figures of speech, but also in the variety of emotionally charged adjectives, interjections, and adverbs. In the difference in intonation when pronouncing a phrase (the famous “execution cannot be pardoned”), in the breadth of the Russian soul and the desire to characterize everything around in an ornate way. Synonyms for the word “man”: “muzhchinka”, “peasant”, “man” and others often have nothing in common with the original version and strongly depend on the context and intonation.


The Russian language is truly rich both literary and emotional. It provides an opportunity for self-expression through literature and art, writing books and poetry. And its development and filling with borrowed words allows you to expand your horizons and opportunities for creativity. And no matter how Russians talk about their country, politics and situation, everyone proudly speaks their own language and gladly emphasizes their belonging to Russian speakers both at home and abroad.

Could you tell us a little more about our language?

But we use what we have. So, we bring to your attention the most interesting facts about the Russian language.

An interesting fact is that the only word in the Russian language that does not have a root is the word “take out”. It is believed that in this word the so-called zero root, which alternates with the root -im- (take out-im-at).

Previously, until about the 18th century, this verb looked like take out, and it had a material root, the same as in take off, hug, understand(cf. shoot, hug, understand).

However, the root -nya- was subsequently reinterpreted as the suffix -nu- (as in put, blow).

Another unusual and interesting fact about the Russian language. The words “bull” and “bee” have the same root. Yes, yes, don't faint!

In works of ancient Russian literature, the word bee was written as “bychela”. The alternation of vowels ъ/ы is explained by the origin of both sounds from the same Indo-European sound u.

If you remember the dialect verb rumble, having the meaning of “roar”, “buzz”, “buzz” and is etymologically related to the words bee, bug and bull, it becomes clear what the general meaning of these words was.

Another interesting fact about the Russian language that you probably didn’t know. The longest nouns are “misanthropy” and “excellency” (24 letters each; word forms - 26 letters each).

Did you know that the longest adverb recorded in the Russian language dictionary is “unsatisfactory” (19 letters). Although it should be taken into account that the vast majority of qualitative adjectives in -й/-й are formed into adverbs in -о/-е, which are not always recorded in the dictionary.

And this is a very necessary and interesting fact. Experts in the Russian language probably already know it. In Russian there are so-called insufficient verbs.

Sometimes a verb does not have any form, and this is due to the laws of euphony. For example, the word “win”:

  • he will win
  • you will win,
  • I... – will I win? Shall I run? will I win?

Philologists suggest using the replacement constructions “I will win” or “I will become a winner.”

Since there is no 1st person singular form, the verb is "insufficient".

Now you know quite a few interesting facts about the great and mighty Russian language. If you have any questions, you can ask them in the comments.

We hope that our selection was useful to you.

The Russian language has a rich history, and it is not surprising that Russian words, to which we have long been accustomed, actually once meant something completely different or were borrowed from other languages, and today we can only be amazed at how many interesting We don’t know the facts about Russian yet.

The most interesting facts about the Russian language:

1. You will be surprised, but in the Russian language there are still words starting with the letter “Y”. These are geographical names (Ytyk-kyyol, Ynakhsyt, Yllymakh, Ygyatta, Ynykchansky).

2. The word “negligence” does not come from the word “robe”, as many are accustomed to think, but from the word “khalad”, cold. That is, negligent attitude means cold.

3. A funny fact is that the word “doctor” was derived from the word “to lie,” but then this word had a slightly different meaning and meant “to speak, to know.”

4. Different sources give different versions of the longest words in the Russian language. However, in fact, the length of a Russian word is theoretically not limited at all due to the fact that, for example, the language has the prefix “pra” (great-great-great-grandfather, etc.) or due to the pronunciation of numerals (the numbers merge into one word - “sixty-sixty-six-year-old”, etc. .d.). In addition, the names of chemical elements also have an almost limitless length ("methylpropenylene dihydroxycinnamenylacrylic acid" (44 letters) acid)

However, here are a few examples of the longest words formed without the artificial addition of roots and prefixes:

In 2003, the Guinness Book of Records recorded the word “excessively considerate” (35 letters). In various dictionaries you can also find words such as: “private enterprise” (25 letters) or water-mud-peat-paraffin treatment (29 letters), etc.

According to some versions, the longest nouns are the words “misanthropy” and “excellency” (24 letters each).

The longest adjective according to dictionaries is “unsatisfactory” (19 letters).

The longest interjection according to the dictionary is “physical education-hello” (14 letters).

5. There is a version according to which the word “friend” comes from the word “another, stranger,” that is, it once had essentially the opposite meaning. However, most likely, the word came from the Old Slavonic “droug”, one or another form of which is found not only in the Russian language (“Bulgarian friend, Serbo-Croatian friend, Slovenian drȗg, Czech, Slovak druh, Old Polish drug And even in Lit. draũgas “companion, comrade”, Latvian draugs.”).

6. The only word in the Russian language that does not have a root is the word “take out”.

7. Once upon a time there were 49 letters in the Russian language, 5 of which were excluded by Cyril and Methodius, who did not find corresponding sounds in the Greek language. Then Yaroslav the Wise, Peter I, Nicholas II reduced the Russian alphabet to 35 letters in total.

The Russian language is one of the most complex and amazing languages ​​on our planet. Its history and development are long, just like the history of our state. Did you know that there are 74 words in our language that begin with “Y”? And in the Guinness Book of Records there is a word consisting of 35 letters. People never cease to be amazed at the richness and complexity of the Russian language. We present to your attention interesting facts about the Russian language for wall newspapers.

From the names of flowers

Poets have written a huge number of poems about flowers. It is difficult to choose a favorite flower, because there are many of them and each is beautiful in its own way. However, each of us has tried to make a bouquet at least once in our lives. Let's try to find out where the name of our favorite flowers came from in our language.

Let's start with the word "bouquet", which is of French origin. Each plant has its own meaning. Thus, during the reign of Empress Catherine the Great, there was a registry about flowers, thanks to which people knew that red bouquets spoke of love, and yellow ones - of betrayal. Arrangements of blue flowers were given as a sign of recognition of fidelity. However, we are not interested in the language of flowers, but in their names.

Let's talk about gladiolus. The name of this flower sounds solemn and even courageous. It is directly related to gladiators. After all, “gladiolus” translated from Latin means “sword”.

And people call it “sword” because the leaves of the flower are long and sharp, like a real sword. Did you know that “aster” translated from ancient Greek means star? The ancient Greeks gave the flower this name because it has sharp petals. They make the aster look exactly like a star. These people believed that the aster could communicate with the stars.

And we continue to consider interesting facts about the Russian language. Let's move on to the beautiful iris flower. And it is also of Greek origin. The Greeks used the word “Iris” to describe the rainbow.

But let’s leave the ancient Greeks alone and talk about the dahlia flower. It turns out that it was named after the St. Petersburg professor, ethnographer and traveler Georgi Gottlieb.

Now you can not only compose and give a beautiful bouquet, but also briefly tell interesting facts about the Russian language and flowers!

"Yellow and Blue Bus"

Do you know how the British remember the reverent phrase “I love you”? You've never heard anything like this before. In order to successfully master a difficult phrase - a declaration of love, they use a mnemonic made up of three English words: “yellow-blue bus”. Our list of interesting facts about the Russian language does not end here. And we continue to surprise you again and again.

Are you coming with us to the forest to “break your lips”?

This is exactly how people in some rural areas of our state were invited to pick mushrooms. The thing is that our ancestors used to call mushrooms also lips. Philologists explained this phenomenon this way: the mushroom comes from the ancient Slavic word for “hump.” And humps were called boletus, boletus and other mushrooms whose cap looked like a hump. Saffron milk caps and milk mushrooms were called lips, since their caps resembled lips. So in V.I. Dahl’s dictionary you can find the phrase “break your lips,” which means the modern phenomenon of “picking mushrooms.” But in the Urals and in the outback of Siberia, a soup made from such mushrooms is called nothing more than “gubnitsa”.

“By the ruble” or “I’ll chop”?

We continue to share with you interesting facts about the Russian language. This time we'll talk about money. What do you think is the origin of the proud word “ruble”? The head of the numismatics department of the Historical Museum in Moscow, Igor Shiryakov, advised us on this issue. He shared that no one still knows the true origin of the word “ruble”! For a long time it was believed that medieval ingots, cut in half, yielded two rubles. And then the Russian people realized that half is “polt”, which gave the name “poltina”. Then the ruble began to be called a whole ingot. For example, in the 14th century, a ruble ingot could buy 200 squirrel skins at once, and four centuries later, for 1 ruble you could buy 27 kilograms of fish and even meat. The interesting facts about the Russian language for the wall newspaper do not end there. And you and I move further through the expanses of our native language.

Word without root

When we were in elementary school, our first teacher told us that every word has a root, and words that have the same roots are called related. But no matter how it is! There is still one word in our native language that does not correspond to this reality! The word “take out” turns out to have no root. Linguists believe that it contains a zero root, which alternates with the root /im/ in the word “take out/im/at”. In the 17th century, our ancestors said “take out” and it had a material root, the same as in the words “take off”, “understand”, “embrace” and others. But a little later, the root /nya/ was rethought into the suffix /nu/, as in the case of the words “shove”, “blow”. These are some educational and interesting facts about the Russian language for wall newspapers.

Break the stereotype about the letter

Yes, yes, that’s exactly what we’ll try to do now! You can name a few words starting with “Y” without difficulty. However, as mentioned above, there are at least 74 of them in the Russian language. But can you remember at least one word starting with the letter “Y”? Perhaps such a task will baffle even the most well-read person. But since we are talking about this, the “Dictionary of Geographical Names of the Russian Federation” will come to our aid. It is in this book that you can find words starting with the letter you are interested in. All of them indicate the names of domestic rivers and cities. Get ready to listen: Ygyatta, Ynakhsyt, Ytyk-kyuel and other equally strange names.

Is physician Guillaume Guillotin really so outstanding?

We bring to your attention another interesting fact about the Russian language for wall newspapers. If you are asked: have you heard anything about the French doctor Guillaume Guillotin? Of course, you will refuse. However, this is not the case. And here's the thing! This man, as he grew older, trained to be a doctor. He had a boundless love for medicine, and therefore wanted to gain world fame and recognition. Whether he became an outstanding doctor is up to each of us to decide. If you think that the death penalty weapon guillotine and the surname Guillotin are ironically consonant, then you are greatly mistaken.

The Frenchman Guillotin felt sorry for the criminals sentenced to death. Therefore, he invented a weapon that cuts off the head, and, according to Guillotin, painlessly sends the soul of the criminal to another world. Whether Guillaume Guillotin is so talented as a doctor is something everyone decides for himself.

Finally

Our article ends. We, as promised, told you interesting facts about the Russian language for the wall newspaper. We hope that the interesting material we collected was useful to you.
