What is the Russian language?
Russian is the official language of the Russian Federation. It also holds official status in several former Soviet republics, including Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan.
With the largest number of native speakers in Europe, Russian is one of the six official languages of the United Nations. The language uses the Cyrillic script for writing.
Due to geographical proximity and historical ties, Japan and Russia have a long-standing relationship. As a result, many Russian loanwords have found their way into the Japanese language. Words like ajito (hideout), ikura (salmon roe), kombinat (industrial complex), seiuchi (walrus), noruma (quota), and intelli (intellectual) all have Russian origins.
Russian Script
The language is written using the Cyrillic script.

The History of the Russian Language
The Origins and Evolution of the Russian Language
There are several theories regarding the origins of the Russian language, but the most widely accepted one traces its roots to Old East Slavic, the language once spoken by the East Slavs. This language was used in the Kievan Rus’, a flourishing medieval state in Eastern Europe from the 9th century. However, with the Mongol invasions and the subsequent collapse of the Kievan Rus’, Russian came under significant influence from Tatar and Mongolic languages—particularly in areas related to finance and administration—due to the extended rule of the Mongol Empire.
By the 14th century, the Grand Duchy of Moscow had emerged, and the language used in this state gradually evolved into what we now recognize as the Russian language.
During the era of the Russian Empire, Tsar Peter the Great spearheaded a wave of language reforms. These included the simplification of the Russian script, the introduction of Arabic numerals, and the publication of Russia’s first newspapers. As Russia sought to modernize by looking to Western Europe, it adopted a vast array of technical and scientific vocabulary, borrowing heavily from Dutch, French, and German.
At the same time, French became the language of the Russian aristocracy, often spoken in daily life. This linguistic trend is reflected in 19th-century Russian literature, particularly in works like Tolstoy’s War and Peace, where French is interwoven throughout the text.
During the Soviet era, Russian became the de facto official language across the USSR, though it was never formally declared as such. It wasn’t until the formation of the Russian Federation that Russian was officially designated as the national language. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the former republics established their own national languages as primary, yet Russian continues to be widely used in many of these regions today.
