Ways to say it

“bacon” in Russian
Russian	Romanization (Wiktionary)	Note
беко́н	bekón	masculine
ветчина́	vetčiná	feminine

The term is used to describe the specific cut of meat known as bacon.

While беко́н refers specifically to fatty strips of meat, ветчина́ is the standard Russian word for ham.

беко́н is a masculine noun, while ветчина́ is a feminine noun.

bekón

While беко́н is common now, many Russians traditionally prefer са́ло, which is cured pork fat often eaten raw with garlic and rye bread.
In Russian, if you ask for беко́н in a traditional deli, you might receive salted pork belly rather than the smoked strips common in Western breakfasts.
The term беко́н is a relatively recent loanword from English, reflecting the global influence of Western breakfast habits on Russian diets.
