The Power of Russian Swearing. Cursing Stories

The book "The Power of Russian Swearing. Cursing Stories" is intended for a wide range of readers (age restriction 18+), interested in Russian language traditions and Russian culture as a whole.

The book is a kind of anthology. It collects a lot of material about the origins of curse words (including swear words).

It includes both versions that can be confirmed in one way or another, and those that belong to the category of "folk" myths.

Many examples are provided - from folklore, ancient Russian sources, and classical literature.

It presents quite original reflections on some language processes that, in the author's firm belief, cannot be separated from the history of great Russian culture.

And all of this is written in a light, simple language, aimed at a reader who knows how to understand and appreciate humor.
