Google's Ngram Viewer

[R. M. Cleminson]

Unfortunately the tool does not take account of orthographical reform.  The boom in срам after 1917 is matched by a corresponding decline in срамъ.

This is fascinating. Thank you, Steve. Interesting that срам (sram),
according to this, seems to have boomed in popularity in the post-1917
years... and oddly enough, шлюха (shliukha) - excuse me - seems to have been
in 100% of the books around 1995? Any statisticians out there who can give
the background to these figures (i.e. how much we can rely on the graphs'
alluring visuals)?
