The review gives an analysis of the monography by E.A. Zatsepina, devoted to Anglo-American borrowings in modern Russian. A special intensity of the penetration of borrowings into the Russian language, caused by socio-political and economic changes in Russia, is noted. The difference between the nature of lexical and phraseological borrowings is emphasized: if the lexical units are usually acquired in English, the idiom units are transmitted into Russian in the form of phraseological calques.
