Summary. This paper analyzes Russian place names in rural settlements across three districts of East Kazakhstan, identifying three toponymic layers: Turkic, Slavic, and German. The authors examine how Russian names derive from productive word-formation patterns and show increasing semantic independence in the naming system. The study reveals how linguistic patterns and historical factors shape rural place-naming conventions, with names like Vladimirovka becoming instantly recognizable as settlement names through their linguistic features alone.
