Abstract
The article dwells upon such two-component phraseological units as soviet-cliches, on example of such phraseological units as «imperialism shark» and «capitalism shark» and their transformation in the language of printed media and Internet. A monitoring of printed media shows, that such units and their transformation is still actively used and – as a part of the «language game» – have outlived the political system that gave birth to them.
