Modern Russian dictionary contains many fairly well-known terms, which can be spelled with errors. For example, how do you spell institution or institution? Where did this word come from? And what does it mean? How right? Institution or institution? In order to correctly answer this question, we need to go back to the origin of this word.
Origin of the word
Institution is a word of Russian origin. This verbal noun comes from “to establish” (which, in turn, was formed from the prefix u- and Old Slavonic turn, turn). So there was, there was a runaway letter e !
Over time, the word "institution" appeared - as some kind of social institution with certain powers.
What are institutions
A government institution is an agency that collects any information in the public interest. The tax administration can be considered a classic example of a government institution.
A municipal institution was a department that was supervised by local governments. Examples of municipal institutions include educational institutions.
Synonyms
In modern Russian, synonyms for the concepts of "institution" or "institution" are organization, institution, public place, department. They can replace the complex "institution" in the letter.
Spelling
Should "Institution" or "Institution" be written in Russian? After all, there are no checklists for this word. It would seem that our language does not tolerate a large number of consonants at the beginning of words - therefore, the word “institution” is increasingly heard in colloquial speech.
But the rules of the Russian language tell us that there can be no doubt - "institution" or "institution". Only the version "institution" is considered correct - without any additional "e". There is no test word, so spelling should be remembered. It is in this form that we meet this word in modern articles and official documents, this is how it is written in historical sources.
Rise of institutions
The emergence of institutions can be seen in the development of cultural institutions. The first resting places for the we althy classes were created in 1770.
Institutions for the upper class were copied from similar English institutions. It is no coincidence that the first institution in Russia created for entertainment and recreation was the English Club. He was very popular among poets and writers of that time: N. M. Karamzin, V. A. Zhukovsky, I. A. Krylov were regulars at the English Club. From a historical perspective, A. S. Pushkin should be considered the most famous member of the English Club. Institutions for persons of noble estates quickly spread to other cities of the Russian province. Later, similar ones began to be created for representatives of other classes - merchants, officers. In the middle of the 19th century, the first institution emerged that unites people not by class, but by interests - the Chess Club.
Institutions for the people
On the wave of populism, the first establishments intended for the general public appeared. The so-called people's houses were intended for the general population. An ordinary people's house in a Russian district town is a library with a reading room, a room for lectures, and a Sunday school. Such an "institution" or "institution" often became a place for organizing exhibitions, book sales, and various social events. Such houses were created at the expense of zemstvos, private patrons, and local government organizations. At the turn of the 19th-20th centuries, people's houses began to play a prominent role in education - for example, the People's House of the Kharkov Literacy Society.
After the October Revolution, people's houses and workers' clubs received new opportunities in the dissemination of public education. After the end of the Civil War, the efforts of the new government were aimed at spreading people's houses in all corners of the country. Campaign trains were formed for difficult and remote placesand steamboats.
Public libraries
Public libraries were no less popular among people. The first known Slavic library was collected by Yaroslav the Wise. In the XV-XVII centuries, libraries appeared at large monasteries and the royal court. After the invention of printing, libraries became an indispensable attribute of the homes of the nobility and the clergy. In 1714, by decree of Peter the Great, the first library of secular and spiritual literature was formed.
In the 19th century, municipal libraries arose along with the establishment of higher and secondary educational institutions. After 1917, special attention was paid to the development of municipal libraries.
During the Great Patriotic War, more than 40 thousand people's clubs and libraries were destroyed, but after the end of hostilities, the network of educational institutions was quickly restored and expanded.
Both municipal and state institutions quickly found their regular visitors. So these very "institutions" appeared in colloquial speech, which are so difficult to write and so incorrectly pronounced.
We think that from now on it will never occur to anyone to doubt the correct spelling of this word. Doubts like “institution” or “institution” should no longer worry anyone - there are dictionaries in paper and electronic form to check spelling.
