Professor Rosa Kavenoki presented a paper at the international conference on Language Fashion and Communications in Moscow, November 8-9, 2011. The conference included a selective gathering of 25-30 experts who have been recently involved in presiding over the current changes in the Russian language. The process has been immensely interesting and dynamic and affects specific aspects of human activities in the country such as public speaking, journalism and mass media, literature, translation, interpretation, cinema, and theater.
