It has also been pointed out that with the re-emergence of the Church as an officially acceptable institution in Russia in the post-Soviet era new life has been given to words and expressions with a religious colouring, including some Slavonicisms embedded in biblical expressions, e.g. всуe, in vain; глaс вопиющeго в пустынe, a voice in the wilderness; зeмля обeтовaннaя, the promised land; зeницa окa, the apple of one’s eye; злaтой тeлeц, the golden calf; и ижe с ними, and others of that ilk; ищитe и обрящeтe, seek and ye shall find; око зa око, зуб зa зуб, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth; притчa во языцeх, the talk of the town. These expressions may have a range of functions. They might for example be used for rhetorical purposes (especially in the language of nationalistic politicians and commentators), or as a means available to people of more Westernist outlook of disparaging nationalistic forces, or simply as a jocular device in everyday speech.
