Abbreviation as a process of word formation is closely related to the period of the October revolution. That new word formation process spread quickly and was accepted not only in Russian, but in many other languages. A lot of Russian and international linguists have been interested in it, such as A. P. Barannikov, L. V. Scherba, Y. D. Polivanov, A. M. Selischev, P. Y. Chernykh, A. Mazon, R. O. Jakobson, S. J. Karcevsky, and others. In this article, we will point out the features of establishing of Russian abbreviation which experienced the abbreviational boom before other national abbreviation processes (immediately after the Revolution in 1917) and in a short time changed into the common word formation process for the multitude of new words. The distribution and description of abbreviations in the period of the Revolution is connected with the progress of revolutionary activity and the development of revolutionary events. The aim of this article is to analyze the use of abbreviations in the Russian language and to point to the problems that can occur in its implementation.
