The Pushkin Institute counted about 400 words starting with the letter “yu” in the Russian language
Specialists at the Pushkin Institute, comparing several authoritative dictionaries, counted approximately 400 words beginning with the letter “yu”. The count included not only common nouns but also proper names: Nikolai Petrovsky’s dictionary alone provided about 70 entries. Department head Pavel Katyshev emphasised that the result depends on the dictionaries and word categories chosen.
