\\nBorrowing:
\\n
\\nThe best way to think about the borrowed words in Russian is from a historical perspective. The influx of foreign words came in waves depending on what country or culture had influence in Russia:
\\n
\\n\\u2022 Byzantine influence and conversion to Christianity: influx of Greek words
\\n
\\n\\u2022 The reign of Peter the Great: influx of German and Dutch words (e.g. \\u0448\\u043b\\u0430\\u0433\\u0431\\u0430\\u0443\\u043c,  \\u0433\\u0430\\u0441\\u0442\\u0430\\u0440\\u0431\\u0430\\u0439\\u0442\\u0435\\u0440, \\u0431\\u0443\\u0442\\u0435\\u0440\\u0431\\u0440\\u043e\\u0434 and so on)

\\n\\u2022 End of 20th century, perestroyka (\\u043f\\u0435\\u0440\\u0435\\u0441\\u0442\\u0440\\u043e\\u0439\\u043a\\u0430) and post-soviet Russia, globalization: influx of English words
\\n
\\n\\u2022 There are many words of French origin (because Russians have been fascinated with French culture, especially in 18-19 centuries), for example \\u0448\\u0430\\u043d\\u0441\\u043e\\u043d, \\u0430\\u0432\\u0430\\u043d\\u0433\\u0430\\u0440\\u0434 and many others
