Summary/Abstract: The article presents an analysis of Italian borrowings, assimilated by Russian and Ukrainian languages from the 50s of the 20th century to the beginning of the 21st century. During this period, a considerable number of Italianisms assimilated in these East Slavic languages, which primarily belong to the field of culture (music, theater, art, painting, architecture); terms of economics (finance and trade), gastronomy, social life, various groups of terms of geology, geography, archeology, agriculture, biology, science and technology are also included. Many Italian borrowings on the Slavic soil undergo grammatical and semantic changes.
