Changes in how academic discourse is constructed signal transformations in academia and in society in general. The aim of this research is to see how the requirements of written academic discourse construction in Russian have changed within the period of 10 years. For this purpose, the research corpus including 10 academic articles published in 2011 and 10 academic articles published in 2021 in the same peer reviewed journal was compiled. During the research the methods of interpretation, classification, statistical analysis, and discourse analysis were used. The discourse analysis was carried out with a special attention paid to such dimensions as form / content orientation and reader / writer orientation. The research shows that within 10 years Russian tradition of academic writing switched from being content and writer oriented to predominantly form and reader oriented. Certainly these changes are caused by the influence of international English-language publication requirements but they also signify transformations that happened in the academic community and in Russian contemporary society.
