The article presents the problem of intercommunication between the Russian and English languages. It is obvious that the interconnection of languages can be made within different languages and different time periods. English is the most popular and widely spread international language. The general belief is that English words are borrowed by most of the languages, but many Russian words were and are borrowed by English as well. There are a lot of examples in the history when one language gradually absorbed the other one. But the Russian language is very rich and it has a great potential to get rid of everything superfluous or unnecessary and it is one of the richest languages of the world while including a layer of loan-words in its vocabulary. So the study of the layer of borrowings in the system of vocabulary presents a great interest to linguists, as it shows the process of language development.
