This paper discusses hybridization in contemporary Russian language. In particular, the work focuses on Dina Rubina�s novel Here comes the Messiah! (??????? ??????!.....).Her prose is characterized by a wide range of linguistic and communicative means; a key role is played by linguistic hybridization which alienates the text from any contexts, notions of time, as well as the ordinary and accepted linguistic norms. In her work, Rubina - a migrant writer living in Israel - describes a carnival atmosphere (based on Bachtin�s idea of carnival) as one of the main leitmotivs of the Russian community in Jerusalem. Words - which are are the primary means of expression in a world considered as a stage - often undergo hybridization processes. Therefore, new meanings, neologisms, original lexemes decorate Rubina�s multicultural text.
