He launched a spike like a snake.

We must study the simple and direct Russian speech of the people and assimilate it for ourselves, just as all living things assimilate good food and turn it into their own blood and flesh...
How truly was K. Aksakov, when considering verbs, the vital, living force of our language! Our verbs in no way succumb to the dead spirit of such a grammar, which wants to subjugate them by force to mere external signs; they demand recognition in them of an independent spiritual power... of their significance and meaning...
Language is the age-old work of an entire generation.
The language of the people is undoubtedly our most important and inexhaustible spring or mine, the treasury of our language...
If we begin to introduce Russian words gradually, at the place where they are clear in their very meaning, then they will not only understand us, but they will even begin to adopt from us.
We do not banish all foreign words from the Russian language with a general anathema, we stand more for the Russian warehouse and turn of speech.
It seems as if such a revolution is now in store for our native language. We begin to suspect that we have been led into a slum, that we need to get out of it in a healthy way and carve out a different path for ourselves. Everything that has been done so far, since the time of Peter the Great, in the spirit of distorting the language, all this, like an unsuccessful inoculation, like a clothespin of a heterogeneous seed, should dry up and fall off, giving space to the wild, which needs to grow up on its own root, on its own juices, to be flavored with a holey and care, and not a nozzle on top. If we say that the head of the tail does not wait, then our head rushed off so far somewhere to the side that it almost broke away from the body; and if it is bad for the shoulders without a head, then it is disinterestedly for the head without a body. Applying this to our language, it seems as if this head has to either come off completely and fall off, or come to its senses and return. Russian speech has one of two things to do: either send it to the extreme, or, sensibly, turn onto a different path, taking with it all the stocks abandoned in a hurry.

The "Russian part" of the modern written language of people who write quite competently almost does not differ from the language in which they wrote a hundred years ago. In "A Hero of Our Time" there are only two now obsolete expressions. The wall grew precisely from a heap of borrowings. If the influx of other people's words does not stop, then in 50 years Pushkin will be read with a dictionary. How then will it be future Russia to eat the healthy juices of your past? And people who cannot read Pushkin, will they be Russians?
K.D. Ushinsky (1824-1871)
... The nature of the country and the history of the people, reflected in the Soul of man, were expressed in the word. Man disappeared, but the word he created remained an immortal and inexhaustible treasury vernacular; so that every word of a language, every form of it, is the result of a person's thoughts and feelings, through which the nature of the country and the history of the people are reflected in the word.
A.N. Tolstoy (1883-1945)
To deal with the language somehow means to think somehow: inaccurately, approximately, incorrectly.
What is language? First of all, it is not only a way to express your thoughts, but also to create your thoughts.
Language has the opposite effect.
A person who turns his thoughts, his ideas, his feelings into language… he is also, as it were, permeated by this way of expression.
A.I. Kuprin (1870-1938)
The Russian language in skillful hands and experienced lips is beautiful, melodious, expressive, flexible, obedient, dexterous and roomy.
Language is the history of a people. Language is the path of civilization and culture.
Therefore, the study and preservation of the Russian language is not an idle occupation with nothing to do, but an urgent need.
A.M. Gorky (1868-1936)
The Russian language is inexhaustibly rich, and everything is enriched with astonishing speed.
M.A. Sholokhov (1905-1984)
The greatest wealth of a people is its language! For thousands of years countless treasures of human thought and experience have accumulated and live forever in the word.
D.S. Likhachev (1906-1999)
The greatest value of the people is the language - the language in which they write, speak, think.
V. Bazylev
Indigenous Russian words remember all world history testify to this story, reveal its mysteries...
Poets about the Russian language
In the age of the father's tongue do not shun,
And don't put it in

But adorn yourself with your own beauty.

Word(1915)
Silent tombs, mummies and bones, -
Only the word is given life:
From the ancient darkness, on the world churchyard,
Only letters are heard.
And we have no other property!
Know how to save
Though to the best of my ability, in the days of anger and suffering,
Our immortal gift is speech.
I.A. Bunin
Words (1956)
Many words on earth. There are daily words -
The blue of the spring sky shines through them.
There are night words that we talk about during the day
We remember with a smile and sweet shame.
There are words - like wounds, words - like a court, -
They do not surrender with them and do not take prisoners.
Words can kill, words can save
In a word, you can lead the shelves behind you.
In a word, you can sell, and betray, and buy,
The word can be poured into smashing lead.
But there are words for all words in our language:
Glory, Motherland, Loyalty, Freedom and Honor.
I dare not repeat them at every step, -
Like banners in a case, I keep them in my soul.
Who often repeats them - I do not believe that
He will forget about them in fire and smoke.
He will not remember them on the burning bridge,
They will be forgotten by another in a high position.
Anyone who wants to cash in on proud words
Countless dust offends the heroes,
Those in dark forests and damp trenches,
Without repeating these words, they died for them.
Let them not serve as a bargaining chip, -
Keep them in your heart as a golden standard!
And do not make them servants in petty life -
Take care of their original purity.
When joy is like a storm, or sorrow is like night,
Only these words can help you!
V.S. Shefner
Russian language (1959)
I love my mother tongue!
It is clear to everyone
He is melodious
He, like the Russian people, is many-sided,
As our power, mighty.
If you want - write songs, hymns,
If you want - express the pain of the soul.
Like rye bread, it smells,
As if the flesh of the earth is tenacious.
For big and small countries
He is for friendship
Given to the brotherhood.
He is the language of the moon and planets,
Our satellites and rockets.
On the board
round table
Speak it:
unambiguous and direct,
It is like the truth itself.
He, like our dreams, is great,
Life-giving Russian language!
AND I. Yashin
Russian language (1966)
At your poor cradle
Still barely audible at first
Ryazan women sang
Dropping words like pearls.
Under the dim tavern lamp
On the table wooden wilted
At a full untouched cup,
Like a wounded falcon, coachman.
You walked on broken hooves
Burned in the fires of the Old Believers,
Washed in tubs and troughs,
Cricket on the stove whistled.
You, sitting on the late porch,
Sunset turning face
I took a ring from Koltsov,
Borrowed the ring from Kurbsky.
You, our great-grandfathers, are in captivity,
Having powdered the face with flour,
At the Russian mill they ground
Visiting Tatar language.
You took a little German
Even though they could do more
So that they don't get it alone
The scientific importance of the earth.
You, smelling of rotten sheepskin
And grandfather's sharp kvass,
Written with a black torch
And a white swan feather.
You are above prices and rates -
In the year forty-one,
Then he wrote in a German dungeon
On weak lime with a nail.
Lords and those disappeared
Instantly and surely
When accidentally encroached
On the Russian essence of the language.
Ya. V. Smelyakov
Courage
We know what's on the scales now
And what is happening now.
The hour of courage has struck on our clocks,
And courage will not leave us.
It's not scary to lie dead under the bullets,
It is not bitter to be homeless, -
And we will save you, Russian speech,
Great Russian word.
We will carry you free and clean,
And we will give to our grandchildren, and we will save from captivity
Forever!
A.A. Akhmatova
Our language has enough words in itself,
But there is not a sufficient number of scribes on it.
One, following an unusual warehouse,
Attracts the Russian Pallas to Germany
And, thinking that he gives her pleasure,
Takes natural beauty from her face.
Another, not learning to read and write as it should,
In Russian, he thinks, everything can not be said,
And, taking a handful of other people's words, weaves speech
With my own tongue, I only deserve to be burned.
Or word for word he translates Russian into a syllable,
Which does not look like itself in the update.
That stingy prose aspires to heaven
And he does not understand his own tricks.
He creeps in prose and verse, and letters ona,
Scolding himself, gives the scribes to the laws.
Whoever writes must clear his mind in advance
And first give yourself light in that;
But many scribes do not talk about him,
Satisfied only with the fact that the speeches are composed.
Readers are stupid, although they will not be understood,
They marvel at him and think that there is a secret here,
And, having covered your mind, reading with darkness,
The indistinct warehouse of the scribe is accepted by beauty.
There is no secret, no crazy writing,
Art - to properly offer your style,
So that the opinion of the creator is imagined clearly
And the speeches would flow freely and according.
A letter that ordinary people call with a letter,
With those who are absent, he usually speaks,
It should be without fuss and briefly composed,
How simply we speak, so simply clearly.
But who is not taught to speak properly,
That is why it is not easy to lay down a letter.
Words that are before society,
Even though they are offered with a pen, although they are offered with a tongue,
Should be much more magnificently folded,
And rhetorically b beauty was included in them,
Which in simple words though unusual,
But the importance of speeches is necessary and decent
To clarify the mind and passions,
To enter into the hearts and attract people.
In it, nature is happy to show us the way,
And reading opens doors to art.
Our language is sweet, pure, and magnificent, and rich,
But sparingly we bring a good warehouse into it.
So that we do not disgrace him with ignorance,
We have to fix our entire warehouse at least a little.
No need for everyone to sweat over rhymes,
And everyone needs to know how to write correctly.
But is it right to demand from us a correct style?
Closed to him in the teachings of the road.
As soon as you teach warehouses a little,
If you please write "Bova", "Peter the Golden Keys."
The clerk says: “The Scripture is gentle here,
You will be a man, study only diligently!”
And I think that you will be a man
However, you will not know how to read and write forever.
Even in the best handwriting, from the clerk's council,
Weave four letters into the word "summer"
And pretentiously you will learn to write "the end",
Believe that you will never be a scribe.
Adopt from those, at least a lot of them, at least a little,
Whose care for art was jealous
And showed them how wild this thought is,
That we do not have the wealth of language.
Be angry that we have few books, and do penalties:
“When there are no Russian books, who to follow in the degree?”
However, you are more angry with yourself
Or at your father that he did not teach you.
And if you had not lived your youth willfully,
You could be quite skilled in writing.
The industrious bee takes
From everywhere what she needs in sweet honey,
And visiting the fragrant rose,
It takes particles from manure into its cells.
In addition, we have many spiritual books;
Who is to blame for the fact that you did not comprehend the psalms,
And, running along it, like a ship in a fast sea,
From end to end, he raced recklessly a hundred times.
Kohl "asche", "tochiyu" custom exterminated,
Who forces you to introduce them into the language again?
And what of antiquity is still indispensable,
That may be what you are supposed to do everywhere.
Do not imagine that our language is not the same as we read in books,
Which we call non-Russians.
He is the same, but when he was different, as you think
Just because you don't understand it
So what would be left with the Russian language?
Your thoughts are far from the truth.
Do not know the sciences when you do not love them, even forever,
And thoughts need to be known, of course.

Russian language
To treat language somehow means to think somehow: inaccurately, approximately, incorrectly.
(A. N. Tolstoy).
There are no such sounds, colors, images and thoughts - complex and simple - for which there would be no exact expression in our language. You can do wonders with the Russian language!
(K. G. Paustovsky).
The Russian language is inexhaustibly rich, and everything is enriched with astonishing speed.
(Maksim Gorky).
You marvel at the treasures of our language: every sound is a gift; everything is granular, large, like pearls themselves, and really, another name is more precious than the thing itself.
(N.V. Gogol).
(I. S. Turgenev).
(K. G. Paustovsky).
Language, our magnificent language. The expanse of the river and the steppe in it, In it the screams of an eagle and the roar of a wolf, The chant, and the ringing, and the pilgrimage incense.
(K. D. Balmont).
Pushkin also spoke about punctuation marks. They exist to highlight the thought, to bring the words into the correct ratio and to give the phrase lightness and the right sound. Punctuation marks are like musical notation. They firmly hold the text and do not allow it to crumble.
(K. G. Paustovsky).
(M. V. Lomonosov).
The Russian language in skillful hands and in experienced lips is beautiful, melodious, expressive, flexible, obedient, dexterous and roomy.

In days of doubt, in days of painful reflections on the fate of my homeland - you are my only support and support, oh great, powerful, truthful and free Russian language!., you can’t believe that such a language was not given to a great people!
(I. S. Turgenev).
(M. Gorky).
(N.V. Gogol).
Our beautiful language, under the pen of unlearned and unskilful writers, is rapidly declining. Words are distorted. Grammar fluctuates. Spelling, this heraldry of the language, changes according to the arbitrariness of everyone and everyone.
(A. S. Pushkin).
Sayings of great people about the Russian language.
Russian language!
For thousands of years this flexible, magnificent, inexhaustibly rich, intelligent,
poetic and labor tool of his social life, his thoughts, his feelings,
their hopes, their anger, their great future.
A. V. Tolstoy
Let there be honor and glory to our language, which, in its native wealth, almost without any foreign admixture, flows like a proud, majestic river - it rustles and thunders - and suddenly, if necessary, softens, murmurs in a gentle stream and sweetly flows into the soul, forming everything measures that are only
in the fall and rise of the human voice!
Nikolai Mikhailovich Karamzin
True love for one's country is unthinkable without love for one's language.
Our beautiful language, under the pen of unlearned and unskilled writers,
tends to fall rapidly. Words are distorted. Grammar fluctuates.
Spelling, this heraldry of the language, changes according to the arbitrariness of everyone and everyone.
Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin
You marvel at the preciousness of our language: every sound is a gift: everything is grainy, large, like pearls themselves, and, really, there is another name for the most precious thing itself.
Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol
In days of doubt, in days of painful reflections on the fate of my homeland, you alone are my support and support, O great, powerful, truthful and free Russian language! Without you - how not to fall into despair at the sight of everything that happens at home?
But one cannot believe that such a language was not given to a great people!
Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev

Use a foreign word when there is an equivalent Russian word,

Language is a ford across the river of time, it leads us to the home of the departed;

Only having mastered the initial material, that is, the native language, in the possible perfection, we will be able to be in the same perfection.

Fedor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky
Ugly, dissonant words should be avoided. I do not like words with an abundance of hissing and whistling sounds, I avoid them.
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov
The word of the Briton will respond with the knowledge of the heart and the wise knowledge of life; the short-lived word of a Frenchman will flash and scatter like a light dandy; intricately invent his own, not accessible to everyone, smart-thin word, a German; but there is no word that would be so bold, brisk, so bursting out from under the very heart, so seething and trembling vividly, as aptly said Russian word.
Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol
The language, which the Russian power of a great part of the world commands, in its power has a natural abundance, beauty and strength, which is not inferior to any European language. And for that there is no doubt that the Russian word could not be brought to such perfection, which we are surprised at in others.
Mikhail Vasilievich Lomonosov
Our Russian language, more than all new ones, is perhaps capable of approaching classical languages in its richness, strength, freedom of location, and abundance of forms.
Nikolai Alexandrovich Dobrolyubov
That Russian is one of the richest languages in the world,
there is no doubt about it.
Vissarion Grigorievich Belinsky

Mikhail Vasilievich Lomonosov
The main character of our language lies in the extreme ease with which everything is expressed in it - abstract thoughts, inner lyrical feelings, "mouse running around life", a cry of indignation, sparkling pranks and amazing passion.
Alexander Ivanovich Herzen
Nothing is so ordinary for us, nothing seems so simple as our speech, but in the very essence there is nothing so surprising, so wonderful, as our speech.
Alexander Nikolaevich Radishchev
Among the splendid qualities of our language there is one absolutely amazing and hardly noticeable. It consists in the fact that in its sound it is so diverse that it includes the sound of almost all languages of the world.
Konstantin Georgievich Paustovsky
The Russian language opens up to the end in its truly magical properties and wealth only to those who deeply love and know their people "to the bone"
and feels the hidden beauty of our land.

There is one significant fact: we are on our still

the deepest forms of the spirit and thought of European languages.

The natural richness of the Russian language and speech is so great that without further ado, listening to the time with your heart, in close contact with a simple person and with a volume of Pushkin in your pocket, you can become an excellent writer.
Mikhail Mikhailovich Prishvin
The Russian language, as far as I can judge of it, is the richest of all European dialects and seems deliberately created to express the subtlest shades. Gifted with wonderful conciseness, combined with clarity, he is content with one word to convey thoughts when another language would require whole phrases for this.
Prosper Merimee
The beauty, grandeur, strength and richness of the Russian language is quite clear from books written in past centuries, when our ancestors did not know any rules for compositions, but they hardly thought that they exist or can be.

I do not consider foreign words good and suitable, if only they can be replaced by purely Russian or more Russified ones.
We must protect our rich and beautiful language from corruption.
Nikolai Semenovich Leskov
There is no doubt that the desire to dazzle Russian speech with foreign words without need, without sufficient reason, is contrary to common sense and common taste; but it harms not the Russian language and not Russian literature, but only those who are obsessed with it.
Vissarion Grigorievich Belinsky
Our native language should be the main basis for our common education.

But what disgusting bureaucratic language! Based on that position... on the one hand... on the other hand, all this without any need. “Nevertheless” and “to the extent that” the officials composed. I read and spit.

Konstantin Dmitrievich Ushinsky
The Russian language is quite rich, however, it has its drawbacks, and one of them is hissing sound combinations: -vosh, -vosh, -vosh, -shcha, -shch. On the first page of your story, “lice” crawl in large numbers: those who have worked, those who have spoken, those who have arrived.
It is quite possible to do without insects.
Maksim Gorky
Charles V, the Roman emperor, used to say that it was proper to speak Spanish with God, French with friends, German with enemies, Italian with women. But if he knew the Russian language, then of course he would have added that it was decent for them to speak with everyone, because. I would have found in it the splendor of Spanish, and the vivacity of French, and the strength of German, and the tenderness of Italian, and the richness, and strong figurativeness of Latin and Greek.
Mikhail Vasilievich Lomonosov
No matter how you say it, the native language will always remain native. When you want to speak to your heart’s content, not a single French word comes into your head, but if you want to shine, then it’s another matter.
