  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. 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 19th century.
