After analyzing some reports of Bolshevik leaders at the Vth Conference of the Communist Partyof Ukraine (Bolsheviks), it was found out that leaders often distorted the meaning of the words and phrases theyused, especially those which possessed political features (e.g. “Ukrainian nationalists”, “independence-carriers”,“beggar” etc.). Taking into account the declared approaches, new semantic categorical units «connotation»,«denotation» were introduced into the narrative of modern historical research.
