The processes that have started since perestroyka, have had a strong influence upon Russian language of the end of 20th century and the beginning of 21st century. They are represented by tendencies such as democratisation, internationalisation, expressivisation, analytism and so on. A sufficient number of scientific works devoted to analysis of all the processes happening within the context of a Russian language (both written and spoken) has appeared. They have all studied it closely and tried to shed some light on the condition of contemporary Russian language. The present article surveys the most significant works by Russian scientists-linguists devoted to metamorphoses of Russian language of our time.
