Summary/Abstract: Significant social and political shifts cause basic changes in a language culture such as the abolition of old models of writing, speaking, and the establishment of a new model of language usage, which leads to the emergence of puristic reaction to language processes. This paper examines various manifestations of purism in the metadiscourse on modern Russian language and analyzes how they overlap with the purism in the Soviet language policy.
