This article presents a fragment of the study of political metaphors involved in shaping the image of Russia in English mass media. Using corpus technologies, an array of material was analyzed in an original way from the NOW English-language corpus (electronic versions of articles from American, British and Canadian newspapers and magazines for June 12, 2016) – dominant metaphorical models, their most frequent frames, the models’ discursive characteristics, and pragmatic potential were revealed.
