In the conditions of a rule-of-law state, the Constitution is the main reference point of its legal system, while in the realities of modern society living in a state governed by the rule of law, it may also have significant symbolic functions. The new wording of Article 68 of the Russian Constitution, proposed in the law of 2020 on the amendment to the Constitution, defines the state language – Russian – as "the language of the state-forming nation belonging to the multinational union of equal nations of the Russian Federation". In this article, this term is analyzed as evidence of the strategy to impose mythological functions on the legislative text. In case of the concept of "Russian language", this strategy manifested itself already in 2005 in the federal law on the State language, which established the status of the Russian language as a tool to "strengthen inter-ethnic relations in a unified multi-ethnic State". The law on the amendment of the Russian Constitution goes beyond the very introduction of mythological components into the legal text and presents a strategy to legitimize mythology through an act of general vote.

The article analyses contexts in which the category of hope appears in the texts of Mikhail Gorbachev's speeches and writings. His main programmatic texts and political manifestoes, in which the creator of the perestroika policy explained and justified its main assumptions, have been taken into account. Although "hope" does not belong among words with which Gorbachev's reader is confronted on every page his writings, considered against the background of the Soviet authorities' discourse, the last leader of the USSR uses this term in an extraordinary, courageous manner, testifying to a qualitative change in the manner of the formulation of political messages in the Soviet Union. ; W artykule analizowane są konteksty, w których kategoria nadziei pojawia się w tekstach przemówień i pism Michaiła Gorbaczowa. Uwzględniono główne teksty programowe i manifesty polityczne ostatniego sekretarza generalnego KPZR – teksty, w których twórca polityki pierestrojki wyjaśnia i uzasadnia jej główne założenia. "Nadzieja" nie należy przy tym do słów, z którymi czytelnik Gorbaczowa styka się na każdej stronie jego pism. Na tle dyskursu władz radzieckich ostatni przywódca ZSRR wykorzystuje jednak ten termin w sposób niezwykły, odważny, świadczący o jakościowej zmianie sposobu formułowania przekazów politycznych.
