Game of Thrones is one of the most successful implemented commercial products. His ratings did not fall below 8 points out of 10, beside 7 seasons. A lot of scientific works have been written around the world of J. Martin, he seriously interested researchers around the world, and politicians began to use the phrases of heroes. Fantasy series, with medieval scenery, was able not only to captivate viewers, but also hurt them by the very nerve. The “Game of Thrones” covers important topics: love, betrayal, fate, international relations, etc. All this allows the viewer to relate himself to the characters and reflect on their actions through the prism of modern society. Many scientists see similarities with our worlds and are trying to learn lessons. For our study, we have chosen the topic of political statements. The series has many political topics that are relevant for modern society. We have identified several meanings that the authors have displayed in a fictional world, but which have analogies with us.
