“Russian is NOT a Slavic language” – NFKRZ x Lingopie

In his latest deep-dive, NFKRZ tackles one of the most bizarre claims circulating online – that Russian isn’t actually a Slavic language. As a native Russian speaker, he’s spent years comparing Russian to other Slavic languages, yet he’s constantly confronted by people claiming it’s Turkic, Finno-Ugric, or even a constructed language. In this video, he breaks down where these myths come from, how Slavic languages really work, and why some people want to separate Russian linguistically from its roots. It’s equal parts history lesson, myth-busting, and cultural insight – everything his audience has come to love.
