Sažetak
Anglicisms came to the Russian language via language contact with the English language that became more frequent in the past few decades as a result of major socio-political changes in the Russian Federation. A great number of Anglicisms were imported in the most flexible layer of the Russian language, the Russian colloquial speech. Colloquial speech is not regulated by the strict rules so it serves as a convenient base for various types of borrowings. As the influx of Anglicisms rises, it influences the overall language situation. Part of the Russian society finds it undesireable and thus advocates the practice called linguistic purism. Purists are trying to stop the process of borrowing, considering the already existing Russian vocabulary sufficient. The situation in Russian society is specific, since the Russian purists are often motivated by many extralinguistic factors, as well. It is, however, not a sustainable practice, since language contact and word borrowing can not be stopped, and that is why it is important to deal with this topic and find the other solution to the linguistic problems that are inevitable byproduct of high influx of foreign words into one's language.
