Abstrakt: The article presents an overview of the phonetic history of Russian. A bird's-eye view of the development and disintegration of common Russian, its history observed à vol d'oiseau, as it were, provides a picture of amazing inner coherence and logic. The whole of it can be reduced to an extremely simple fact: Russian territory borders on the territory of other Slavic languages only in the west and southwest. Hence, the consequences: all the phenomena common to all or several contiguous Slavic languages arise in the western and southwestern dialects and spread northeast.
