https://doi.org/10.30515/0131-6141-2019-80-2-73-79
Abstract
The article discusses the controversy regarding the date of the first use of the letter ё in a printed form and argues that the first printed use of this letter refers to 1797. Much attention is paid to the problem of introducing the mandatory use of the letter ё in modern Russian writing. The author comes to the conclusion that it is necessary to use e in proper nouns, geographical names and words with unclear pronunciation.
