The paper examines the topical issues of field research on the language and culture of the ethno-linguistic group of Greeks living in Russia, including their linguistic and cultural polyglossia and the mutual influence of languages and cultures of neighboring traditions, primarily Russian. The work is based on field data from 2022-2024, collected during expeditions to Greek villages in Russia (Sochi and other regions of the Northern Black Sea region, Caucasian Mineral Waters, Karachay-Cherkessia, North Ossetia-Alania, Dagestan etc.) and Georgia (Tsalka, Borjomi, Batumi regions).
