Аннотация: The paper deals with the urgent and topical issue of political linguistics – the influence of information and psychological warfare on the Russian language. The aim of the paper is to describe the most frequent novices in the modern Russian language and speech which occur due to the domestic information and psychological warfare. TПоказать полностьюhe research was carried out on the basis of the mass-media texts, the traditional linguistic research methods were used (analysis and description, contextual and axiological analysis, etc.). As the result of the analysis the authors singled out both new and traditional words and word combinations which simultaneously serve as the weapon and the result of information and psychological warfare. Two groups of language (speech) means were defined: specialized (which perform the relevant evaluative function – either positive or negative) and non-specialized (which change the function depending on the context, the semantic ambivalent words and word combina-tions). The specialized means include pejorative words and word combinations: political la-bels, invectives, terribilitisms (“bogey-words”), delusions (“trap-words”), negatively connotative words, and euphemisms. Ameliorative means are not characteristic of information and psychological warfare, though words and word combinations are widely used which denote national concepts being the subject of information rivalry. Neutral language means in information and psychological warfare in the Russian language include terms and terminoids, naming various types of rivalries and technologies constituting them. The results obtained contribute to the development of the information and psychological warfare linguistics. Research perspectives en-compass the refinement of some points and the analysis of information and psychological warfare language consequences in the light of linguistic ecology. © Kopnina G.A., Koshkarova N.N., Skovorodnikov A.P., 2021.
