abstract = {Konstanty Srokowski, was an eminent Polish publicist of interwar period. In his two works: “The Bolshevik Elite” and “On The Red Olympus” he characterized the process of formation of the ruling group in the USSR, its ideology, ruling techniques and profiles of Soviet’s prominent people. There were a lot of different metaphors in his publications, however in those two mentioned above preponderate the metonyms and periphrases which are very useful in depicting phenomena and people. His postwar journalistic writing is more objective and balanced than the previous anti-Russian one he practiced during the First World War (and even before the war), hence, there are less animalizations and hyperbolic metaphors. After 1918 Srokowski retreated from open political activity and this caused the mitigation in his writings. He did not have any reason to virulently attack the Soviet Union. He aimed at objective description of this country and its elites.},
