Abstract
The article presents the relevant issue of analysing the common features of the grammar of Russian as language inherited by the second or third generation of migrant children in Europe and in the world. The novelty of the study is in the fact that it compares the speech of children with different dominant languages and, in particular, studies the speech of a group of children from families of Russian Germans living in Germany under dual language inheritance. Their parents have a very rich migration history, as they are, in turn, also heritage speakers of German, the language, which they spoke in their family. In the present paper, the main task will be to identify the common features determined by the contact between Russian as a heritage language and other languages, especially at morphological and lexical levels. For this purpose, a field research project was conducted at the Learning and Integration Centre Dialog e. V. in Reutlingen. The analysis of oral and written works of bilingual children of the last generation of Russian Germans showed not only the common elements of erosion identified in the heritage grammar, but also the special linguistic features caused by the transition from German-Russian to Russian-German inheritance. The influence of their parents language distinguishes them from other groups of Russian students, emphasizes the importance of studying not only childrens, but also their parents speech, as well as teaching standard Russian in the framework of non-formal education.

Summary
Представлена актуальная тема анализа грамматики русского языка как унаследованного детьми мигрантов второго или третьего поколения в Европе и мире. Оригинальность исследования заключается в выявлении специфики речи детей из семей русских немцев, живущих в Германии в условиях двойного языкового унаследования. Анализ устных и письменных работ двуязычных детей группы русских немцев последнего поколения показал не только общие элементы эрозии, выявленные в «грамматике эритажников», но и особые лингвистические черты, вызванные переходом от немецко-русского к русско-немецкому унаследованию. Влияние нестандартного русского языка родителей отличает их от других групп русских эритажников, подчеркивая важность исследования речи не только детей, но и родителей, а также и обучения стандартному русскому языку в рамках неформального образования. Специфика речи двуязычных детей из семей русских немцев, живущих в Германии // Русистика. Целью исследования – выявление специфики ошибок в речи детей из семей русских немцев, живущих в Германии
