Russian Interpreters

The frequency of multilingual meetings and events continues to increase as businesses and organizations add employees, customers, and partners around the world. Meetings and events are more engaging and inclusive when everyone speaks the same language, but that is not always possible. Human interpreters and translators are an option, but the high cost and logistical complexity limits their use to big budget events and organizations.

Wordly solves the multilingual collaboration problem with a proven, high quality, highly scalable AI-powered interpretation platform which provides simultaneous interpretation into Russian and dozens of other languages. Speakers and attendees each select their preferred language at the start of the session - selecting from live translated captions or audio - and using their mobile phone, tablet, or computer. Offering translation services is a great way to increase engagement, productivity, and inclusivity.

Russian Language History

What is the History of the Russian language?
The Russian language, an East Slavic language, traces its roots back to Proto-Slavic, the shared ancestor of all Slavic languages. It evolved over centuries into a distinct language, shaped by historical, cultural, and political changes in the regions of modern-day Russia, Eastern Europe, and beyond.

• Old East Slavic (9th–14th centuries): The earliest form of Russian, Old East Slavic, began to emerge in Kievan Rus' around the 9th century. It developed from Proto-Slavic and was heavily influenced by Old Church Slavonic, introduced by Saints Cyril and Methodius for Christian liturgical purposes.
• Middle Russian (14th–17th centuries): Between the 14th and 17th centuries, the language transitioned to Middle Russian during the rise of the Grand Duchy of Moscow. Mongol-Tatar influences from the Golden Horde left their mark on vocabulary and syntax. The language became more unified as Moscow emerged as a cultural and political center, with secular literature and official documents gaining prominence.
• Modern Russian (18th century–Present): The Russian language underwent significant transformation in the 18th century during Peter the Great’s reign, as Westernization brought influences. In the 19th century, Alexander Pushkin revolutionized Russian literature, blending everyday language with formal structures to create a literary standard. The 20th century introduced Soviet-era terminology reflecting industrialization, socialism, and scientific advancements. Today, Russian is spoken by over 258 million people worldwide and is an official language of the United Nations. It continues to evolve, embracing global influences while preserving its rich cultural and historical heritage.
