The study aims to provide an insight into specifics of translating the attributive infinitive from English into Russian analysing materials from the magazines ‘The Economist’ and ‘WCO News’.

The attained results have shown that the attributive infinitive can be translated using attributive clauses containing word forms with the meaning of causation or concession, modal verbs in the subjunctive mood. The work has identified variability of translating the attributive infinitive from English into Russian.
