Taboo Words. Linguists' Notes on Russian Profanity
How has Russian profanity penetrated literature — from classical to modern?
Why are some curses taboo while others become euphemisms?
How does obscene vocabulary change under the influence of laws and the internet? And why, despite all the prohibitions, the Russian language without profanity — is already not quite Russian?
How is this layer of language structured and why is it so firmly woven into our speech,
explained by Doctor of Philological Sciences Anatoly Baranov and Dmitry Dobrovolsky.
