On April 15, 2026, under the guidance of Associate Professor O.V. Sergushkova of the Department of Belarusian and Russian Philology, a research and practical seminar titled “Active Processes in the Russian Language” was held for Group 1 of the fourth-year class. The event took place as part of Youth Science Week. The seminar discussed current trends spanning all levels of the language system—phonetic, lexical, word-formation, and grammatical. O.V. Sergushkova drew the students’ attention to widespread phenomena such as de-terminologization, euphemization, the increasing use of foreign and colloquial vocabulary, slang, abbreviations, and fragmentation, among others. The presentation by Presidential Scholarship recipient Sergey Meshkov, who spoke about creolized text as a phenomenon of modern communication, was particularly useful for the students. All seminar participants were engaged in an interesting and important discussion, which once again reminded us that language is not a static set of rules, but a living, creative process, “an activity of the human spirit.”
