The topic of protecting the Russian language, so topical in our time, occupies a central place in the work of the famous writer and publicist, literary editor of the magazine “Pereprava” (“Sixth Sense”), researcher of the Russian language Vasily Irzabekov. Previous book “Secrets of the Russian Word” , published in several editions, was literally “snatched up” by readers. The huge number of letters to the author is proof that it is possible to destroy the barrier of indifference and revive love for one’s native word. V. Irzabekov travels a lot around the country, speaking to children and adults with lectures that are amazing in their sincerity and erudition; his fiery speeches can often be seen on television. The book offered to the reader was compiled by the author and the publishing house on the basis of new essays and stories, some of which have been published in different publications. The motto of this book can be the words of the author, which he likes to repeat: “In the Russian language there are answers to all the questions that Russian life poses to us.”
