The study investigates the language and genre structure and formation of a particular type of political text, an election address of a political leader to the electorate. The article considers the history of the appearance of the public speech genre in Russian political discourse, its functions, and linguistic features that solve the problem of revealing the main ideological content at the lexical level. The research material was the texts of Gennady Zyuganov’s election addresses in 2000 and 2019 taken from the Internet sources and the accompanying comments estimated to be about 50 sources. In the course of the study, the linguistic characteristics of the implementations of the political address functions (influence, inspiration, advocacy, and propaganda, informing), typical of this type of political statements, are revealed along with the established dynamics of changes in rhetoric by Gennady Zyuganov as the leader of a political party and its leading representative.
