Prior to 1918, when the current Russian spelling reforms were instituted, the alphabet included letters no longer used. These were updated and changed. These letters include:

The changing of word endings is called “declension” and there are six different cases in Russian.
==== Given names ====
An important note is that it is essential to recognize when a name is written in a different form, and to avoid misinterpreting it as another name. For example, “the child of Ivan” would be “ребенок ивана.” That only means that “иван” is in a different case. It does NOT mean that is a feminine form of the name, that his name is different, that he has variant names, or that “ивана” is a different person than “иван.”
==== Verbs ====
Words that show action (verbs) also vary depending on who and how many are doing the action and whether the action is past, present, or future. The variation for verbs is called “conjugation.” For example, the Russian word жить (to live) will appear with various endings. Note that most but not all verbs follow this pattern:
{| class="wikitable"
|+
!Russian conjugation
!English conjugation
|-
|я '''живу'''
|I live
|-
|ты '''живёшь'''
|you live (informal)
|-
|он/она/кто '''живёт'''
|he/she/who lives
|-
|мы '''живём'''
|we live
|-
|вы '''живёте'''
|you live (formal)
|-
|они '''живут'''
|they live
|-
|она '''жил'''
|he lived
|-
|она '''жила'''
|she lived
|-
|они '''жили'''
|they lived
