Korney Ivanovich Chukovsky was a great Russian writer, poet, publicist, literary critic, translator, literary scholar, and journalist. He received an Honorary Doctorate of Literature from Oxford University (1962). He was the most published author of children's literature in the Soviet Union and Russia, and his poems, fairy tales, and translations have become classics. Korney Chukovsky is also widely known for his critical and literary studies, as well as his translations.
The book "Alive as Life" is one of the significant works of 20th-century Russian literature, a collection of articles devoted to issues of the modern Russian language. In it, the author examines various aspects of our language: spelling, grammar, vocabulary, stylistics, and other literary norms; analyzes errors frequently encountered in speech; and offers suggestions for correcting these errors.
One of the book's main ideas is the need to preserve the purity of the Russian language and its traditions. Korney Chukovsky criticizes the use of foreign words and expressions in Russian, believing that they distort it. However, he also acknowledges that the Russian language must evolve and adapt to new conditions. A foreword by Pavel Kryuchkov, Russia's leading scholar of Korney Chukovsky's work and a leading researcher at the V.I. Dahl State Museum of Russian Literature and Literature (GMIRLI) and the K.I. Chukovsky House Museum, and the famous dictionary "must not speak" / "must speak."
