Abstract
Recent political events and significant challenges experienced by translators in the field of political media discourse around the world led me to this research dealing with taboo words in the translation. The issue of translating taboo and swear words has been extensively studied in the fields of audio-visual and literary translation, however the topic received less attention in the field of media translation. For the purpose of this research, source language texts and translations into Russian provided by multilingual media agencies, such as the BBC and Euronews were analysed in this paper.
