Summary/Abstract: This paper analyses the system of address form in Russian. It explores forms that are characteristic of different genres and styles, both in conversational and written discourse. The choice of form depends on a number of non-linguistic factors, such as the sex and age of the addressee, the extent of closeness between collocutors, as well as on the communicative situation and socio-political conditions. Bearing this in mind, each selected form of address contains in itself a piece of information on the participants in a communication process and on the context within which it is taking part.
