Abstract

The USA became the key country, receiving Russian emigrants, and a territory of concentration of the most populous Russian-speaking communities outside the former USSR. Nowadays, the Russian language is included into the first ten most widespread languages of the USA (of course, exclusive of the English language). It means that the Russian-speaking audience is quite vast and is a large segment in the US economy. In this regard, the USA present a quite interesting example for research of a new social phenomenon of the Russian-language economy which takes the important place in formation of Russian-speaking communities and includes the system of institutes, the infrastructure and economic ties between their representatives based on use and domination of the Russian language. Incoming immigrants from Russia and countries of the former USSR are integrated into American society, gaining the first experience of work and life in new conditions most often in the Russian-language economy. Russian-speaking communities are expanded and flourished thanks to immigration of not only new workers, but also commodity buyers and service consumers from Russia. And sometimes development of ethnic economy mixed with other factors becomes an incentive for new immigration.
