| Abstracts: | The article examines the linguistic features of the USSR representation in educational texts on the sample of textbooks edited by S. Bernstein and P. Milza used in French gymnasiums and colleges. The article aims to identify and systematize linguistic means in describing the role of the USSR in World War II. The research seems to be scientifically important as the representation of the USSR in French educational historical texts has not been studied in modern linguistics yet, and the material of textbooks makes us understand the basics of the French world perception. The analysis of the linguistic representation of the USSR was based on the presence in the French text of such keywords as USSR / Soviet Union, victory, tournant / turning point, names of countries, cities, and names of leaders. The authors conclude that the French textbook does not consider the USSR to be the main contributor in the outcome of the war, as there are no words meaning “heroism” or “winner” when depicting the USSR. The linguistic means and techniques used by the French authors create the USSR image not as a country that played a decisive role to win the victory over fascism, but as an assistant to the Anglo-Saxons (at best) and as a source of potential danger.
