Summary/Abstract: The paper aims to analyze the prefixal combination припод-, which conveys attenuative semantics as a tertiary or secondary prefixes in Russian multi-prefixed verbs. A total of 103 припод- verbs were identified in the Russian mass media database. The most frequently used verbs are приподзакрыть ‘close (slightly)’ and приподоткрыть ‘open (slightly)’. The paper argues that these two verbs were originally popularized by the 2007 Russian comedy film День выборов ‘Election Day’, and that the prefixal combination has since spread to other verbs, though their distributionis scant and approximately half of them are hapaxes. Припод- verbs, as diminutives,pragmatically express the speaker’s subjective evaluation of a situation.
