Abstract:  The paper investigates the drives for stability and change in the history of Russian political met-aphors. It compares Russian and international techniques applied to studying history of political meta-phors. The paper depicts the Russian researchers’ contribution to the theory and methods of researching political metaphorics, as well as to the theory and practice of historical metaphorology. The co-authors come to the conclusion that the arsenal of contemporary Russian political metaphors represents a complex system that emerged from centuries of evolution as a result of interplay between the drives for stability and change, for preservation of cultural distinctiveness and interaction with other cultures. The study draws a distinction between the periods of “metaphoric storms” and “metaphoric calms” in the history of Russian political metaphor.

Keywords:  metaphor, cognitive metaphor, rhetorical metaphor, political communication, Russian metaphor, historical dynamics of metaphors, metaphoric worldview, metaphoric storms, metaphoric calms
