Abstract
This article is devoted to the profound relationship between the study of the Russian language and the understanding of Russia’s historical and cultural context. The authors examine the evolution of the language as a living organism, tracing its development from the period prior to the Christianization of Rus’ to the reforms of Peter the Great and the literary genius of Alexander Pushkin. The study emphasizes that knowledge of history and traditions transforms the mechanical memorization of vocabulary into a conscious acquisition of a cultural code.
