Summary/Abstract: The article analyses the examples of usage of the nouns jeans and sausage in the book Second hand time by Svetlana Aleksievich. These nouns have the function of contextual emotional and ideological terms. Their usage reflects the emotional dichotomy between the imagination and views of the post-Soviet society concerning the current political situation (resulting mainly from the systemic changes related to perestroika), and social moods conditioned by politics.
