Russian diachronic corpora

Russian National Corpus

Here you can download time-specific sub-corpora of the Russian National Corpus (RNC). Together these 3 sub-corpora form nearly full RNC.

The RNC is well balanced, contains Russian texts of diverse genres, and can be extremely useful for training NLP models.

For many years, the Russian National Corpus has been available only for online browsing and searching.

Now the raw RNC texts are published online for the first time.

The sub-corpora are provided as gzipped plain-text files, one sentence per line.

Sentences are shuffled due to copyright restrictions.
