Do you know that today is the official day of the letter Ё? I didn't, but now I do! :)
The letter Ё in the Russian alphabet represents
1 - the combination of sounds [jo] when the letter is placed in the beginning of the word (ёлка, ёж), after a vowel (моё, твоё) and after the soft/hard sign in the middle of the word (разобьём)
2 - [o] after a soft consonant - Пойдём!
The letter Ё in the word is always stressed!
As you have probably noticed, we don't always use Ё. It's important to use it in children's books, books and texts for foreign students - before they remember in which words it should be used.
In original Russian texts philologists recommend to use it when it's necessary to prevent misreading or misunderstanding (for example, to mark the difference between ВСЕ everybody and ВСЁ everything). Also, when we need to specify how a rare word should be read.
The letter Ё had a long and interesting history. It was first introduced into the Russian alphabet in 1783 and has been a reason for arguments ever since. Some people insist that it should be used in all positions where it appears, others say that it can be replaced by E when it doesn't bring amy confusion to the text. You can pick a side for yourself!
