Про орфографию

[kasak.livejournal.com]

Привет!

Есть ли кто-либо в этом коммюнити, которому возможно делиться со мной информацией или сайтами о русском языке и о его орфографии до революции (в 1917-ом году)?

Буду весьма признательн за любую помощь.

Hi!

Is there anyone here in this community who could share with my any information or website about the Russian language or its orthography before the Revolution (in 1917)?

I'd appreaciate any help.

Couple of questions...

What is the proper way to say that you're conducting research?
Делать исследование?

How do you express the idea of something consuming your life?
This paper is taking over/ eating my life.

My third question has absolutely nothing to do with language, but I'm really curious. What is the general Russian take on the Ukranian election situation?
