The main direction of this research is the interpretation of the rally in the Russian Media Discourse in 2014-2016. The research problem: during the economic crysis the protest sentiments grow up. But in Russian mass media Russian protests were excluded. That’s why the meaning of the concept «rally» in Russian Media Discourse was changed. The research hypothesis: after the excluding Russian protests from the Russian Media Discourse mass media include only protests abroad and rallies, which support the policy of the government. The results of my research partly confirmed my hypothesis. The advantage of the research: there was created a new model of presence of the rally in Russian Media Discourse.
