| Description | In the course of history, Russian words have entered the Czech language with varying intensity and have fulfilled different functions. However, apart from a few dozen established adoptions, they have tended to disappear from the active vocabulary. Despite (or perhaps because of) the fact that they are often relegated to the linguistic periphery, Czech politicians and political commentators reach for them. They use them very creatively as satirical or even derogatory references. It is more than likely, however, that with the gradual retirement of this generation from active political life, these russicisms will disappear from our headlines for good. |
