Аннотация:The paper focuses on the controversial status of Russian English. The author argues that Russian English is an exonormative variety of the Expanding Circle, according to Kachru’s theory. As a variety, it has its own distinctive linguistic features that can be accounted for by the transfer of the linguistic features of Russian, its users’ native tongue, as well as the users’ mentality and the expression of Russian culture in their speech. The author criticizes theories that describe this variety as a teaching/learning model, or as an interlanguage, and believes Russian English should not be equated with the pidginized basilectal Ruslish/Runglish.
