this paper investigates the growing influence of English-derived lexical items on contemporary Russian, with particular emphasis on their role in ongoing processes of linguistic transformation and cultural reconfiguration. Drawing on linguistic, comparative, and sociolinguistic methodologies, the study examines the integration and functional distribution of Anglicisms across diverse communicative domains, including media discourse, digital environments, and everyday interaction. The findings indicate that the increasing incorporation of English-based elements reflects broader globalizing tendencies and technological advancements, while simultaneously generating tensions between linguistic innovation and the preservation of cultural and linguistic integrity.
