The book “The Power of the Russian Mata. Falf stories ”is intended for a wide range of readers (age limit of 18+), interested in Russian language traditions and Russian culture as a whole.
The book is a kind of anthology. A lot of material about the origin of swear words (including obscenity) was collected. Here are those versions that can be confirmed in one way or another, and those that belong to the category of folk myths. There are many examples - from folklore, and from ancient Russian sources, and from classical literature. Quite original reflections on some language processes are represented, which, according to the author’s solid conviction, cannot be torn from the history of great Russian culture. And all this is written in a light, simple language, in the calculation of the reader who knows how to understand and accept humor
