Unlike English with a fixed SVO (subject-verb-object) structure, Russian is much more flexible. 🔻This flexibility stems from the fact that Russian words change form to indicate their grammatical function in a sentence. Also attributives usually precede the noun they modify. 🔻Word order can affect the emphasis and nuance of a sentence, especially in spoken Russian. The information you'd like to emphasize comes first in a sentence. Example: • Красивые девушки поют русскую песню. Beautiful girls are singing a Russian song. SVO: *КрасивЫЕ девушкИ (кто?/who? Nomin., plural) *поЮТ (что делают?/what are they doing? imperf, present tense) *русскУЮ песнЮ (что они поют?/what are they singing? Accus., singular) 🔻Since the nouns have particular endings, you won't confuse the subject and the object: • Русскую песню поют красивые девушки. = • Русскую песню красивые девушки поют. = • Поют красивые девушки русскую песню.

🔻During the famous Swiss campaign, when A. V. Suvorov (1730 - 1800) was the commander-in-chief of the combined Russian-Austrian forces, the allies did everything possible to avoid fulfilling their obligations, and the main burden of the war march fell on our soldiers. 🔻After the brilliant completion of this most difficult campaign in the history of wars, the Austrians, wanting to show that they, supposedly, "also did a lot", decided to issue a commemorative medal in honor of the heroic campaign. 🔻Having learnt about this, Suvorov only said: — On one side of this medal, the Russian coat of arms should be minted with the motto 'С нами Бог!' (Literally: God is with us!), and on the other, the Austrian coat of arms with the motto 'Бог с ними!' (Literally: God is with them!) ❓What's the difference? • С нами Бог! is a classical battle motto showing faith in victory. • Бог с ними! means 'Let it be so'. This is the expression of agreement, forgiveness, concession. #brief_and_interesting

I bet you haven't heard of this fascinating game, played exclusively by all Russians whose parents/grandparents/neighbours have dachas. 🔻The rules: • Games are held in autumn. • Two teams of athletes participate. • Team 1️⃣ needs to pass the main attribute of the game to the players of the other team as quickly as possible. • Team 2️⃣, using their ingenuity, wit and natural talent of persuasion, must either refuse to receive it or manage to quickly pass it on to third parties. • The main attribute of the game is a zucchini, carefully grown in a dacha under the warm Russian sun without chemicals and pesticides. 🔻You might ask, why grow a vegetable that Russians want to get rid of with all their might? Since I play on team 2️⃣, I don't know the answer to that question. But I can assume that the zucchini is a symbol of Russian care for one another. ❓Which team would you like to play on? 🇷🇺 text for my determined learners is in 💬 #admins_thoughts 🟠 Subscribe to @learnRCRussian

In 1903, the Imperial family hosted a masquerade ball that invited 390 guests. 🔻All attendees were to arrive in costumes from the era of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich ("pre-Petrine times"). Court ladies were to wear sarafan dresses and kokoshniks, while gentlemen should wear the clothes of boyars (noblemen) and streltsy (archers). 🔻The nobility of the Russian Empire gathered in the Winter Palace to celebrate the 290th anniversary of the Romanov dynasty's reign. 🔻Masquerade participants adorned themselves in national costumes, lavishly embellished with gemstones, pearls, and diamonds. 🔻These outfits were meticulously crafted beforehand, following designs by the artist Sergei Solomko under the guidance of historical consultants. 🔻The luxurious costumes, richly ornamented with rare furs and precious stones, cost their owners a fortune. 🔻 A few of these outfits have survived and are now housed in the Hermitage Museum collections. #brief_and_interesting 🟠 Subscribe to @learnRCRussian
