Summary/Abstract: Borrowings from Russian which are not completely assimilated in the target language (in Romanian „rusisme”) were a constant linguistic procedure in mediaeval Romanian; some are still preserved in our language. A more significant presence of Russian borrowings can be noted in the Moldovan dialect, due to the long-term Russian influence in the area. The present study explains the reasons for this socio-cultural phenomenon and proposes a taxonomy of the present day terms resulted from this influence, by pointing out their relevance both in the academic and argot speech.
