This work is a microdiachronic study on the material of the Russian language. Our task is to study the dynamics of changes in Russian vocabulary at the micro level - a short period of time. The section from the XVIII to the XXI centuries was chosen as the studied time fragment. The choice is due to the fact that it is this period that was recorded in detail and described in specialized linguistic sources.
