Quote: "ArnoV"In 1917 an orthography reform was carried out in Russia. In fact, the reform was prepared by the tsarist authorities, but put in effect shortly after the October revolution. Kind of a tsarist present for the Bolshewists: a spelling reform is a fantastic marker for a revolution, a very visible boundary between 'before' and 'after'!nice bit of information. Thank you for that. I have one of those as well and did notice the difference right away, but didn't know the why.
The most striking changes were:
Ѣ replaced by E
I replaced by И
word final -Ъ was dropped.
Because of the latter change, Leo Toltoy's "War and Piece" shrunk by 30 pages!
