Glory to the Family! The Etymology of Russian Life

The creativity of Mikhail Zadornov has long transcended the boundaries of satire and humor. His interests are diverse: numerology, history, the etymology of Russian life, and endless investigations into the origin of words.
How can one learn to understand the original meaning of familiar words, to hear the natural tremor of the native language? Perhaps for some, it will be enough to read Mikhail Zadornov's autobiographical story about how he, as a budding journalist, went to Siberia to write an essay about the Old Believers and met a witch in the taiga.
Much time has passed since then. The author has traveled the world, listening to the speech of our people and others. He conducted research, sat in archives. Calling for the glory of his lineage, Mikhail Nikolaevich tells amazing things about the origin of simple words: dad, mom, grandmother, aunt — and riddle words for today's young generation: daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law.
In this book, you will find an exciting interpretation of the plots of Russian fairy tales and familiar calendar holidays. You will hear what the letters of our alphabet will whisper and experience pride in your native speech, learning that the English language is a corrupted form of Russian.
