A Love Letter to the Russian Language – Minus the Snobbery
Polina Masalygina’s Lyubimiy Russkiy isn’t a grammar textbook or a weapon for pedants. It’s a warm, curious invitation to see the Russian language as it lives and breathes today—messy, changing, and full of surprises. The author, known for the popular Instagram blog Velikiy Russkiy (@great_russian), has gathered articles that never appeared on her feed. Instead of policing “right” and “wrong,” she explores how the language evolves right now, and how we, its speakers, react to that change.
The book’s tone is deliberately provocative—at least from a conventional standpoint. It challenges the easy division between “correct” and “incorrect,” and it’s not for language purists or grammar Nazis. Masalygina argues that loving a language isn’t about hunting errors; it’s about acceptance—about planting “reasonable, good, eternal” things without judgment. Time moves, the world shifts, and language reflects it all. This is a book for anyone who wants to understand Russian’s living pulse, not just its rules.
