The paper focuses on the analysis of English loanwords in modern Russian political discourse. The author presents ways of borrowing lexical units from English into Russian and shows semantic modifications that take place during the process. Three basic lexical groups are distinguished in the analyzed data: loanwords that had negative connotations in the Soviet times but have lost them and become neutral words in modern times; loanwords that had neutral connotations in the Soviet times; loanwords with negative connotations in both the Soviet and modern times (loanwords conveying negative judgments).
