ravinskaya, linguist, member of the ran spelling commission, associate professor of the russian language department marhiat mistaken, a teacher at the higher school of economics in mythology, in general there are a lot of different regalia and titles, and after these titles i want to ask directly: maria, do you swear, as we say? at scientific conferences, thank you very much for a very interesting question, i will answer with a quote: obscene vocabulary exists in russian to express very... strong emotions, i experience strong emotions. let's start with the basics: where did russian swearing come from? there is a traditional version: tatars-mongols, like everyone else did the rest bring us their evil obscenities? well, yes, this version is so gatspirological that some people who believe that swearing is an absolute evil would like this absolute evil not to be of slavic origin. they are all slavic, pan-slavic and have a long history. it happened historically, we probably won’t go into this too deeply, that in the russian language the sexual sphere was taboo, it was taboo very strongly, for a very long time,
