Russian language and speech culture

The textbook “Russian language and speech culture” is intended for students of the Faculty of History of the Lomonosov Moscow State University. It can also be used (in whole or in part) in other humanities faculties, as well as in branches of the Moscow State University. The manual covers all the main topics of the course (including the question of the norms and styles of the modern Russian language) and significantly expands the topics related to the history of the Russian language and its place among other Slavic languages. The manual includes fragments of popular scientific texts of modern philologists who discuss the state of the Russian language today. These materials will allow students to engage in a discussion about the current state of the language and to understand the active processes taking place in it as a new stage of its systemic historical development.
