"The article analyzes the speech of a number of Russian politicians: V.V. Putin, G.A. Zyuganov, S.M. Mironov. The author’s goal was to reveal the level of use by politicians of the resources of the Russian language that provide its wealth and diversity. These resources are conditionally subdivided into linguistic (lexicon, morphology, syntax) and stylistic (semantic and syntactic figures). A range of linguistic resources, which politicians freely use in their speeches, has been revealed. The units of lexical level include terms, professionalisms of political and other spheres, jargonisms, occasionalisms, vulgarisms, colloquial lexicon, etc. Actively and basically correctly politicians use phraseology. At the morphological level of interest is the use of politicians pronouns We in the collective sense, instead of I. At the syntactic level, the input elements of different semantics are in demand, including individual-authoring and serving components that structure the text. However, the stylistic resources of the Russian language are 0of the greatest importance for politicians: they use rhetorical questions, rhetorical exclamations, question-answer constructions, series of homogeneous members, etc. A number of unsuccessful examples of the use of Russian language resources by politicians, for example, borrowed words, special vocabulary, etc., have been revealed. Nevertheless, we can talk about the rather high linguistic skill of modern Russian politicians, the freedom of their possession of various, primarily stylistic, resources of the Russian language."
