description The article analyzes the semantics and origins of the words olbrim and obdenkovatʹ. In the Russian language of the age of Peter the Great, the noun olbrim (cf. Belorussian olbrim, obrim; Ukrainian olbrym < Polish olbrzym, obrzym < Greek ὄβρῐμος) was used in the meaning of ‘giant’ and the verb obdenkovatʹ (German abdanken; cf.
