This paper examines the immigration discourse in contemporary Russian internet media. This study aims at illuminating how contemporary Russian internet immigration discourse conceptualises immigrants, using different semiotic modes (not only texts but also visuals). In order to achieve the main goal, textual and visual materials published in the Russian internet media are analysed. The methodology used to conduct research was based on critical discourse analysis, multimodal discourse analysis and cognitive linguistics. The image of immigrants in the analysed material consists of five facets: biological, national, legal, economic and martial ones. In the biological aspect, immigrants are portrayed as people who look different to the indigenous population, have a different skin colour, Asian facial features. The national facet stresses the difference in nationality, even otherness, of immigrants. The legal facet emphasizes immigrants‟ involvement in murders, rapes and robberies. As for the economic facet, immigrants are portrayed as a threat to the country‟s economic development. In the martial aspect, migrants are depicted as occupants and invaders. Authors of the analysed texts use visual discrimination strategies: representation of immigrants as agents of negatively valued actions, discriminatory stereotyping, collectivisation, and aggregation. The analysed Russian internet mass media paints a negative picture of immigrants, especially those from Central Asia and the Caucasus.
