Olga Severskaya is a linguist, journalist at the radio station 'Echo of Moscow' (1991-2022), candidate of philological sciences, leading research fellow at the V.V. Vinogradov Russian Language Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and a recipient of the Pushkin Medal.
This book is about the 'error-prone' areas of the Russian language. Every day we encounter difficult words to use - putting on boots, sneakers or trainers, packing pairs of socks, stockings, and jeans in suitcases, going on vacation abroad or out of town. There are cases when the norm is strictly defined, and there are times when 'freedoms' are allowed.
This book is also a history of some words and expressions, names and surnames. We will explore airplanes, steamboats, and locomotives, visit the thirty-third kingdom, the thirtieth state, where we will be greeted by the king-sovereign, even peek into cheat sheets and seriously consider whether there are tails on scoundrels and hangers-on.
We invite you to the fascinating world of the Russian language.
