Theresearch corpus, based mainly on internet sources, allowed for a conclusion that the profession ofa scientist affects his entire life and the whole system of values. A scientist, as the Russian anecdotesportray, is a rather scatter-brained person, confined within his own world of science. Additionally,the authors of this article point to stereotypes as a means of assessment characteristic to everynation. They consider this element as a significant factor to be implemented in the foreign language teaching.
