More about the book
Exploring the intricacies of Russian "mat," this book delves into a unique linguistic system of obscenity that conveys deep emotions and cultural nuances. It highlights how "mat" is crafted from a limited set of vulgar roots to create a vast array of expressive words, often deemed far more offensive than English obscenities. Despite its taboo nature and legal restrictions, "mat" serves as a powerful tool for Russians to articulate intense feelings, from despair to defiance, making it an essential aspect of mastering the language.
