Abstract. The article is dedicated to an analysis of the Russian diaspora’s satirical poetic works in the first half of the 1920s, in which the image of the Prime Minister of the British Empire David Lloyd George is found and which have not previously attracted researchers’ attention. This substantiates the scientific novelty of the study. The aim is to identify the most characteristic features of Lloyd George’s image in the Russian diaspora’s satirical poetry of 1920-1925, the means of achieving a satirical effect. As a result, it has been proved that the Russian diaspora’s satirists associated the British Prime Minister with such vices as unscrupulousness, duplicity, greed and betrayal.
