A dataset of posts and comments from habr.com, a collaborative blog focused on IT, computer science, and internet-related topics. The dataset was created by Ilya Gusev and is available on Hugging Face, with content primarily in Russian and some English and programming code.

Use Cases

• Train language models for Russian technical text generation based on the blog post content.
• Analyze discussion patterns and community engagement based on the comment data.
• Study the evolution of IT topics and terminology based on the chronological post data.
• Build code-mixed language models based on the inclusion of programming code snippets.

Strengths

• Content is sourced from a specific, well-known platform (habr.com) for Russian IT discourse.
• Includes multiple text modalities: blog posts, comments, and some programming code.
• Dataset was last updated on 2026-03-25, indicating recent maintenance.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count, file formats, and license information are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
