HSE Researchers Discover Who Eats Out in Russia-And Why
Around one-third of Russians (31.3%) rarely eat out or buy ready-made meals. The core group of active consumers—those who eat out or purchase prepared food almost every day or several times a week—accounts for only about 9% of the population. These are the findings of a study conducted by the HSE Institute for Social Policy. According to the researchers eating out is no longer a marker of high social status in Russia.

Application of Diverse Metaphorical Models in Mass Media Articles Devoted to Russian Domestic Policy

P. 87–101.
Khomutskii K.
In press

The present article investigates the application of metaphorical models in mass media articles devoted to Russian domestic policy and aims at revealing source domains that can be used for mapping onto a target source, i.e. the political situation in Russia. We argue that the choice of metaphorical concepts employed in analytic articles is predetermined by newsworthy events. As a result of the analysis of mass media articles the following source domains have been revealed: war, medicine, and theatre. These metaphorical concepts are characterized in terms of their constituents – metaphorical models.
