This article reveals the main approaches and methods of forming a perception stereotype of the migrant image as "other some" in the Russian mass media. The authors of this article analyzed three federal print publications -"Rossiyskaya Gazeta", "Trud" and "Komsomolskaya Pravda", characterized as mass editions, which enabled to make the most complete coverage of several segments of the readership and to highlight the most widespread meaning of the "migrant" concept in the public consciousness. The study of the dynamics of using the "migrant" concept for the period of 2000-2013 in the Russian print media made it possible to conclude that there were shifts towards a positive assessment of "other some". If the "language of enmity" was used in the public consciousness to form the migrant image at the beginning of the period under investigation, which led to the consolidation of migrant phobia, then the situation changed by 2013 -the migrant image was more often associated with a victim of interethnic tension and corruption. The new migrant image is the image of a migrant who has not found a better life, but has adopted Russia as a second home and therefore trying to adopt new standards and living conditions and helping to solve many of the social and economic problems of Russian society.

The article reveals the specifics of the author’s view and creative position in the journalistic works of the famous Irish writer Oscar Wilde. The authors of the article found that he everywhere sought to capture the real world in its mobility and variability through his fleeting impressions. The impressionism of his works focused on the fluidity of the moment, the changeability of mood or a paradoxical angle of view. Wilde, the publicist, did not want to document the described reality. He recorded instantaneous changes in his perception, reproducing through images the impressions that were born in him at one time or another. Wilde’s world is a world of subjective, original impressions, it is decorative, excessively picturesque, but it is a world of deliberate and even invented impressions, and not spontaneously, impulsively born in the perception of the artist. The authors of the article believe that many of the writer’s thoughts and conclusions are relevant to the Russian society of the present time.
