Annotation: Since the year 2000, Russian society has undergone rapid development, and the language used by its people has changed accordingly. A significant generational divide in language use exists between the elderly and the youth, demarcated by the year 2000. This disparity is particularly pronounced at the lexical level. The “elderly” are defined as the generation whose formative years and linguistic habits were largely established before 2000, whereas the “youth” are those who grew up during the new era, developing their primary linguistic conventions in this period. Researching this issue is instrumental in resolving intergenerational conflicts that arise from these linguistic differences.

Keywords: linguistic differences; intergenerational conflict; Russian vocabulary; generational linguistic gap in Russia; the elderly in Russia; the Russian youth; the turn of the millennium; loanwords
