Mikhail Zadornov's work has long transcended the boundaries of satire and humor. His interests are diverse: numerology, history, the etymology of Russian life, and endless investigations into the origins of words.
How to learn to understand the original meaning of familiar words, to hear the natural tremor of the native language? Perhaps it will be enough for someone to read Mikhail Zadornov's autobiographical story about how he, being a budding journalist, went to Siberia to write an essay about the Old Believers and met a witch in the taiga.
Since then, a lot of time has passed. The author traveled around the world, listened to our speech and that of other peoples. Conducted research, sat in archives. Calling to glorify one's lineage, Mikhail Nikolaevich tells amazing things about the origin of simple words: papa, mama, babushka, tetya - and word puzzles for the current young generation: snoha, dever, zolovka.
In this book, you will find a fascinating interpretation of the plots of Russian fairy tales and customary calendar holidays. You will hear what the letters of our alphabet whisper, and you will feel pride for the native speech, learning that the English language is a corrupted Russian.
