The Russian National Corpus is a representative collection of texts in Russian, counting more than 2 bln tokens and completed with linguistic annotation and search tools

The Multimedia Corpus has been expanded by almost 120,000 words. The following data have been added:

A large collection of literary reading recordings — stories and novellas by Nikolai Gogol, Alexander Pushkin, Alexander Kuprin, Mikhail Zoshchenko, Vsevolod Ivanov, Yuri Kazakov, and Vasily Shukshin, performed by renowned actors Tatyana Doronina, Natalya Gundareva, Vitaly Solomin, Alexander Kalyagin, Igor Ilyinsky, Evgeny Knyazev, Boris Chirkov, and Sergei Yursky.

Recordings of television interviews and talk shows.

The collection of regional speech recordings has also been expanded. It now includes conversations and interviews with residents of the Voronezh Region, Buryatia, Tatarstan, and the Komi Republic, featured in documentary films from the series "Letters from the Province".

In addition, the corpus now includes recordings of non-public speech — informal conversations with relatives and friends in everyday settings.

The Old East Slavic Corpus has reached a size of 913,000 words. It has been expanded with several additional literary and administrative texts, as well as a new collection of selected extratexts of East Slavic manuscripts. These span from refined passages about the book’s patron and its making to down-to-earth marginalia. Such texts are of great value for the study of both language history and cultural context. The extratexts have been given based on the most up-to-date scholarly publications (by Vadim Krys'ko, Maria Galchenko, Alexei Gippius, Savva Mikheev, and others) and, where possible, cross-checked against digital copies of the original manuscripts. The number of tokens with fully annotated Greek correspondences has reached 237,000.

The National Corpus of Russian Language has opened a public API for researchers, developers, and teachers. It allows you to perform search queries to the Word at a glance and lexical-grammatical search programmatically and receive results in Concordance format.

Getting started is easy: log in to the website, get an access key, and review the sample queries in the documentation.

The terms of use for data retrieved via the API are the same as the standard terms of use for the Corpus.
