Summary/Abstract: The article discusses cases when the verb-governed Accusative in the utterances with deverbal nouns could be replaced with Dative. There are the following reasons for choosing the Dative established: split of the deverbal noun governing case from the base, avoidance of the Genitve due to possible ambiquities or chains of the Genitive being occupied by the subjective Genitive. In the sentence, the Dative can be also predetermined by the verb.
