Лекторий ЭФКО. «Трудный и умный русский язык» – писатель Василий Ирзабеков

Every day, we are surrounded by thousands of words. We speak, listen, write, read, and think. It's commonplace and natural. But do we understand all their meanings? Do we appreciate the value of our native language? Do we cherish it? Anglicisms are in vogue now. Borrowed words are displacing established vocabulary. Swearing is creeping into our culture—into everyday life, onto the theater stage, and on movie screens. The "living" Russian language is quietly dying out. And we, its native speakers, are playing a key role in this: we choose "foreign" words and betray "our" native ones. "We must know that the spiritual Russian language is the soul of Russia, its sacred treasure, the tangible embodiment of the highest spiritual values, an inviolable spiritual heritage, without which a person (and a nation!) loses their identity... We must cherish our native word like the apple of our eye. Words are given for the pursuit of truth. Our destiny lies in the words we speak." These are the words of Professor Vsevolod Yuryevich Troitsky, Doctor of Philology. What is the connection between philology and theology? What is the power and mystery of the Russian language? And how does it differ from all others? What is really happening to our language: natural evolution or crisis? Philologist, cultural scientist, and writer Vasily Irzabekov spoke about the beauty of Russian speech, the uniqueness of Russian literature, the miracle of the "living" word, and our responsibility at the EFKO lecture "The Difficult and Clever Russian Language." Watch the video of the lecture to rediscover your native Russian language and fall in love with it all over again. And to love means to appreciate and cherish.
