Popis: The article is devoted to the study of axiological possibilities of political epithets. In political discourse, epithets serve not only as a means of assessment, but they also help to manipulate public consciousness. Most political epithets have negative connotation. The list of political epithets is widening because new evaluative word combinations appear in each historical period and are associated with the politics and political leaders of this or that time.
