The facts and the theories about Russian slang history
Writings on birch bark, ancient Russia
However we living in 21-century (most of us, of course), have high-end technology and in few days will start to conquer to galaxy,historians still don't have common version about the birth of the most popular words in Russian slang.
But they have few theories:
First examples of using slang found in writings on birch bark 12 century. None of people I know didn't read it yet, so we don't know what words were used and how.
1. Ancient Slavs - some word's roots as "eb" or "kurva" existing in all Slavic languages: Serbian, Croatian, Hungarian. Obviously, those ancient guys should use some slang anyway!
2. Mongols - brave and cruel Mongols, always on their small steppe horses should use effective filthy language. After conquering the Russia locals adopt it. However, after founding the old birch barks this version became unfounded, but some people still believe in it.
3. Few others
Chinese hieroglyph "Huy"
Similar but more cosmopolitan versions are:
from Finno-ugrians,
India,
ancient Greece
, China (look hieroglyph on the right),
Aramaic...
- all of that nations has same words, however mostly they had to use in a "usual", not slang meaning.
Ex. חויא, Huya - snake on Aramaic, hieroglyph "Huy" has many different meanings in China, but none of it connected to the penis.
4. About separate "huy" - its appears only in 18 century. Before people used word "ud". Another story telling us about pharmacies and the Latin "hoc", what means "that" or "this". So, to avoid swearwords pharmacists, desperately trying to help, telling "huiuc" and "huic", what grateful people then shortens to our favorite "huy".

Foul language in Russian literature
 A. S. Pushkin
Of course, worldly famous Russian masters of word were also masters of slang. However, most of them prefer to refrain from it.
One of the most remarkable works, the ballad "Ten Barkova" (Shadow of Barkov), belongs to the godfather of the modern Russian literature, A. S. Pushkin. It was written by young Sasha (he was just 16!) and dedicated to Barkov - nobleman of 18 century, who was love among the people for his curse poetry. His most famous poem, "Luka Mudishev" (however some historians disputing authorship) , even today recognizing as a masterpiece of genre. Despite of lots of curses using, poetry of Barkov often has great morality: "Ебитесь с толком, аккуратно, Чем реже еться, тем приятней, Но боже вас оборониОт беспорядочной ебни!" "F..k with care and accurately, More seldom f..k - more joy receiving you, And save us God now from confused fu..ck!". |
I. S. Barkov. His life was even more interesting than poetry and was finished in a age of 36, when he was being completely drunk drown in loo full of excrement.

Now, when are rebirth of national spirit and culture in Russia, its critically important to find the first person, who sent his (her) neighbor nakhuy. Some thinkers consider that its the place in time of country, where the root of evil starts to grown (however its sounds as rough analogy to the Serpent), others just curious. But even the most prominent historians and archaeologists cant' tell us that and just softly dropping hints to go v pizdu with that type of questions.
