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

We continue to expand the corpus tools for teaching Russian at school. The Practice Example Generator now includes rules for spelling words with unpronounced consonants. The rules are organized into groups: consonants that can be checked with a related word (e.g., здравствуйте – здравие), dictionary words with uncheckable consonants (e.g., чувство), and cases where the target word and the checking word do not match (e.g., блестеть – блесна). Altogether, the new rules cover more than 30 groups of words with unpronounced consonants.

The National Media Corpus has been expanded with publications from the 1980s–1990s. The additions include a substantial collection of issues of Kommersant from 1992–1994 and 2000, as well as selected issues of “Nedelya”, “Pionerskaya Pravda”, “Sovetskaya Sibir”, “Uchitelskaya Gazeta”, and “Universitetskaya Zhizn”. The total volume of the update exceeds 2.2 million word tokens.
