Abstract
The article analyses contexts in which the category of hope appears in the texts of Mikhail Gorbachev’s speeches and writings. His main programmatic texts and political manifestoes, in which the creator of the perestroika policy explained and justified its main assumptions, have been taken into account. Although “hope” does not belong among words with which Gorbachev’s reader is confronted on every page his writings, considered against the background of the Soviet authorities’ discourse, the last leader of the USSR uses this term in an extraordinary, courageous manner, testifying to a qualitative change in the manner of the formulation of political messages in the Soviet Union.
