Abstract. The purpose of the study is to shed light on Vladimir Putin’s image on the international scene with the help of a comprehensive linguistic analysis conducted at different levels of the English language. The study is novel in that it is the first to analyse the linguistic means of graphic, morphological, lexical, stylistic, syntactic and semantic levels taken from D. Trump’s Twitter account, which help to construct V. V. Putin’s image. The attained results have shown that the image of the current president of the Russian Federation is shown from both negative and positive sides and the prevalent levels are lexico-stylistic and lexical as such, respectively.
