The language as a cultural monument needs careful and loving attitude. A. I. Solzhenitsyn, who actively promotes lexical expansion, is deeply aware of this. The writer believes that many Russian words were undeservedly discarded "due to the haste of our century, the carelessness of word usage and the idle Soviet custom" (Russian Dictionary of Language expansion.
