Victor Zhivov

1945-2013

Victor Zhivov's Language and Culture in Eighteenth-Century Russia is one of the most important
studies ever published on eighteenth-century Russia. Historians and students of Russian culture
agree that the creation of a Russian literary language was key to the formation of a modern secular
culture, and this title traces the growth of a vernacular language from the "hybrid Slavonic" of the
late seventeenth century through the debates between "archaists and innovators" of the early
nineteenth century. Zhivov's study is an essential work on the genesis of modern Russian culture;
the aim of this translation is to make it available to historians and students of the field.
