Abstract

The educated Russian society of the 19th century presented a vivid picture of bilingualism — quite often, Russian and French were used on equal terms. For many, French was almost the ﬁrst language. Therefore the gross errors in the French inscription on the inkpot, given by Griboedov to his wife, look weird. How to explain why the most educated person, a diplomat who compiled documents in French, would be so negligent?
