The Russian language, known for its lexical richness and grammatical complexity, offers a captivating playground for linguists and language enthusiasts alike. One of the prominent features contributing to its lexical opulence is the process of derivation. Derivation is a morphological process that engenders new words by adding prefixes, suffixes, or infixes to existing words, thereby altering their grammatical category or meaning. This process is a linchpin in broadening the Russian vocabulary and enabling nuanced expressions. Let's delve into the multifaceted world of Russian derivation: 1. Derivation through Prefixation:    Prefixation is a common derivational process in Russian, often altering the verb's aspect or adding a new shade of meaning. For instance, the verb "писать" (to write) can morph into "переписать" (to rewrite) or "записать" (to record) with the addition of prefixes. 2. Derivation through Suffixation:    Suffixation, another corn...

Russian is quite an easy language to learn. Basically the moment you learn Cyrillic – you can read. As there's no any special reading rules. But for many people learning new alphabet seems to be a challenge. While you can easily google the alphabet itself and it's phonetics, I came up with an easy way to practice your reading skills. You see, in Russia a lot of brand names are transliterated into Cyrillic, letter by letter. Of course, chains try to avoid it when they can, but in the end, it is required by Russian legislation. So start practicing your Cyrillic by recognizing these brands Старбакс Макдональдс Пицца Хат Кока-кола Пепси Данкин Донатс Бургер Кинг Папа Джонс Баскин Роббинс Венди’с

Browsing in internet I have found tips that made me smile. Public toilets in the centre of the city are few and far between. Innovative, although somewhat squashy toilet buses (10Rbl) are sometimes parked at public events or outside the Hermitage. Generally speaking, McDonald’s and random hotels and cafes are your best option. Just utter the words ‘gdye tualet?’ (where is the toilet?), while flashing a friendly smile, and most establishments will let you use their facilities. Otherwise, look for the Russian letters ‘Ж’ (women’s) and ‘M’ (men’s). Never leave home without your own stash of toilet paper! There is a national toilet-paper shortage - hence the bits of cut-up newspaper and old romance novels next to some toilets. Found in Hotels in Moscow

Привет, с Новым Годом, Приходит Новый Год к нам, И можно свободно ожидать чего угодно, Только и где носит того седого старика, Который детям подарки достает из рюкзака. Ей, Дед Мороз, выходи, тебя заждались мы, И песню твою меня заказывать достали, Покажись нам, не нервируй детей, Мы крикнем: "Дед Мороз, эй!". Новый год к нам мчится, Скоро всё случится. Сбудется, что снится, Что опять нас обманут, Ничего не дадут. Ждать уже недолго, Скоро будет е...

There are several russian New Year songs. Everybody knows them and knowing them is obligatory for thise who pretends that knows russian culture. Below there is a russian text of the most famous and the song with longest history. Маленькой ёлочке Холодно зимой, Из лесу ёлочку Взяли мы домой. Беленький заинька Ёлочку просил: "Мятного пряничка Зайке принеси!" Белочка прыгала В шубке голубой: "Ёлочка, ёлочка, Я пойду с тобой!" Маленькой ёлочке В комнатах тепло, Заяц и белочка Дышат на стекло. Красные зяблики Вьются у окна, В тёплой проталинке Ёлочка видна. Сколько на ёлочке Шариков цветных, Розовых пряников, Шишек золотых! Сколько под ёлочкой Маленьких ребят! Топают, хлопают, Весело кричат: "Ёлочка, ёлочка, Яркие огни, Синими бусами, Ёлочка, звени, Ветку нарядную Ниже опусти, Нас шоколадною Рыбкой угости! Встанем под ёлочкой В дружный хоровод. Весело, весело Встретим Новый год!"

Russians are orthodox. In terms of Christmas celebration it basically means that they don’t have it on 24th. Russian Christmas is on January 7th and celebrated less than a New Year.
