Professor Douglas Ponton (Italy) about the problems of linguistic ambiguity in working with public opinion
Professor Ponton's public lecture ‘The Formation of Popular Opinion: Media Representation of Russia” was devoted to the problem of linguistic ambiguity in the formation of public opinion about Russia in Western countries.

The topic of the lecture aroused great interest among all those present, who noted its relevance and innovative presentation of the material. The meeting was attended by senior students of the direction “Linguistics”, graduate students, faculty teachers. In conclusion, Professor Ponton answered numerous questions from the audience regarding the history of Russian-British relations, the perception of Russian culture in Europe, and the current political situation in Great Britain.
