The Middle Russian corpus has been enlarged by 500 thousand tokens. Texts of different genres and time periods have been added to the corpus, from the Pskov gramoty of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries surviving in late copies to the early documents of Peter the Great and treatises in rhetoric of the 1690s. In addition, the Commission copy of the Novgorod First Chronicle, collections of peasant petitions and Muscovite diplomatic correspondence with Germany and the Crimean Tatars are now available for searching. The morphological analysis of the text has been significantly upgraded: the corpus dictionary has grown by about 40 000 lexemes.
