This study book pursues two objectives: On one hand, it imparts cultural knowledge about Russia as a foreign culture that has undergone profound social and political transformations over the past 30 years. These changes have also led to a remarkable shift in language, significantly impacting public discourse and societal discussions in general. On the other hand, it addresses the issue of transfer in translations from this novel foreign culture into German. Based on translation studies, linguistic, and sociolinguistic concepts, more than 350 examples from media texts are translated, and the translation strategies and techniques to be considered are discussed. The focus is on the representation of names, designations of realities, and generic terms in political discourse.
