While Russian language is alive - Russia is alive!
Russian language in legends, fiction images, scientific researches and general conclusions keeps historical memory about a thousand-year heroic way of Russia, and our further movement is impossible without it. In different periods of Russian literary language’s development the introduction of foreign elements in it was ambiguous. For example Peter the Great made his contemporaries to write «more perspicuous» without extra foreign words. M.V. Lomonosov in his «three styles theory», separating out the words of different groups in Russian vocabulary, had no place for the borrowings from non-Slavonic languages. But in XIX century the stresses were shifted. The representatives of Karamzin’s shool, the poets with Pushkin as a head, fought for application of lexical borrowings in Russian language’s base, because it reflected the progressive ideas of French government. Today the application of borrowed words is urgent again. It is connected with the fact that in 90th we saw the unprecedented expansion of English words. About the possible positive effect of these words for Russian language, their chance of changing the language, we talk to the guest of our journal «Discussion» Nikolay Tselishev, Doctor of Philosophy, Professor and Academician of Academy of Political Science
