Урок один. Урок один. Brush up. I decided to dust off an old beginner's book in Russian, that I happen to have, and it has been sitting unused on a bookshelf pretty much since 1974. (It was my dad's book, from of a Swedish radio program in that year.) что это? Это Спутник, земля, и вода. Это урок один. Русский языик. In the book there are accents on the words, but the branah keyboard doesn't provide it. So I suppose they are there only to provide the learner with information on where the intonation is???

Yes, it's only for Russian language learners and children to let them know which syllables are stressed ones.

The same thing with Russian vowel letter ё (it's always stressed one). It is on Russian keyboards but usually we don't bother ourselves with writing two small dots above as we know perfectly well which word with letter "e" and which with "ё". So, you will see it only in your texbooks and children's books.

Yes, it is intonation. In Russian we have only ё and й, and in modern Russian ё is most of the time substituted with е. That is a pity, but what can you do. Intonation rules in Russian are not simple, not like in German or French.
