Slavic languages are awesome, and as a native speaker of Russian I've made a lot of videos about Slavic languages and compared them to my own. However, every time I make these videos I always get comments saying that Russian is NOT Slavic and is actually Turkic or Finno-Ugric. Some people even say that Russian is a FAKE constructed language. But is it true? In today's video we'll talk about the myth of Russian not being Slavic and discuss how Slavic languages work, as well as talk about why some people want Russian to not be Slavic. Enjoy!
