Where did the words aspid and Alkonost come from? What is a stack? What do parasite words say? Is there life in the "advertising cave"? And even "who ate the dog?"! Is the Russian language going to analyticism? What are "synchrony" and "diachrony"? The author tries to give answers to these and many other questions in his book. The author agrees with philosopher Martin Heidegger, who once said, "Language is the home of being." Therefore, he invites us to think more often about how we speak. This means that we are building a house for our being with you. For readers of various ages and specialties who are interested in the history of the Russian language, are concerned about its current state and care about its future.
