Abstract

The research is carried out in line with the modern direction – linguistics of information and psychological warfare with the main task to reveal the meanings in texts that destroy national values. The Orthodox faith, being one of such values of the Russian man, takes a leading position in the list of targets of information influence. The paper analyzes the comic polycode text of a stand-up comedy that can effectively influence people’s minds and act, thereby, as a tool to discredit Orthodoxy. The empiric material is A. Dolgopolov’s stand-up comedy “The New Hour of Jokes”, where the strategy of discrediting Orthodoxy is implemented through the theme “faith in God». The application of the thematic stratification method made it possible to reveal the system of characters’ images in order to discover the meaningful components (introduction, portrait and speech characteristics, author’s attitude) embedded in these images by the author of the text. The revealed spectrum of communicative tactics and linguistic-psychological techniques of programming the consciousness made it possible to establish the linguistic means of achieving manipulative impact on the audience in order to form a negative attitude towards Orthodoxy and rejection of the Orthodox faith. The results of the study can be applied in the field of national security
