        transport, Russian uses a system of verbs commonly referred to as the "verbs of motion".
        These verbs are grouped in a way unique from other verbs and, in many respects, follow their
        own logic and system in terms of usage. The following is a very brief and schematic
        explanation of these verbs. For more detailed information, you should consult any of the
        handbooks on Russian grammar available.</p></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="d5e21073"></a>"Going" verbs</h3></div></div></div><p>There are 3 verbs which convey the message of simply "going":</p><p>These are:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">&#1093;&#1086;&#1076;&#1080;&#1090;&#1100;</em></span></p></li><li class="listitem"><p><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">&#1080;&#1076;&#1090;&#1080;</em></span></p></li><li class="listitem"><p><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">&#1087;&#1086;&#1081;&#1090;&#1080;</em></span></p></li></ul></div><p>To best understand how these are used, study the examples below:</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="1"><li class="listitem"><p><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">&#1093;&#1086;&#1076;&#1080;&#1090;&#1100;</em></span> (multi-directional,
