Russians are usually portrayed in cartoons or comics for their excessive alcoholic drinking along with other stereotypes, but one thing that Russians are not depicted internationally is for their rich language. The Russian language is full of different words, synonyms, and adjectives that cannot be found in several other languages. But, the first thing a person wants to learn when studying a foreign language is CURSE WORDS.

Russian is known for its wealth of curse words along with the “clean language” of Russian. 

 Also known as мат in Russian, the Russian language of cursing is extensive and popular amongst several different age groups, even in St.Petersburg, Russia's cultural capital. Cursing is particularly popular amongst teens, middle-aged men, and others who are enjoying a good time at a pub or club. When in St. Petersburg, or any other Russian city, be aware of using swear words in public. These curse words are particularly offensive around the older generation, and certainly amongst women in public. Be aware also if using curse words in Russian, to only use them with your good friends and not in public. Say the wrong word around the wrong person, and the situation could become very dangerous. Here are a few curse words to be aware of in daily Russian life. Say these words with caution!
