Summary/Abstract: Based on the integrative concept of style, developed in the works of Professor Stanisław Gajda, the article justifies the allocation of prosecutorial professional style as a speech variety of business style, which is realized in a system of prescribing, requesting and informing genres. Analysis of the internal differentiation of the Russian prosecutors’ professional style shows that, along with stylistic features that are common to business macro style, this professional style has specific traits – legal evaluation and contrary relations of semantic positions, – which are expressed in each speech genre in a different way. Stylistical and speech analysis of these two genre models shows that typical algorithms of prosecutors’ professional speech activity are reflected in the models. The study shows that the professional style of prosecutors represents one of the types of speech activities in the legal field.
