The paper deals with the pilot version of the
first RST discourse treebank for Russian. The
project started in 2016. At present, the tree-
bank consists of sixty news texts annotated for
rhetorical relations according to RST scheme.
However, this scheme was slightly modified
in order to achieve higher inter-annotator
agreement score. During the annotation pro-
cedure, we also registered the discourse con-
nectives of different types and mapped them
onto the corresponding rhetoric relations. In
present paper, we discuss our experience of
RST scheme adaptation for Russian news
texts. Besides, we report on the distribution of
the most frequent discourse connectives in our
corpus.
