note = {Social change brings about discursive change. Particularly, it causes
shifts of meaning within the key concepts of social discourse. The
concept of den'gi (money) has undergone fundamental alteration in
Russian language and culture since perestroika. This conceptual change
will be discussed in the following article. My findings are based on a
corpus of interviews recorded in St. Petersburg in 1993. The concepts
compared, i.e. the concept of den'gi before and after perestroika,
respectively, can only be sketched out roughly here. The interviews
conducted in 1993 reveal conflicting discourses on money that are
rooted in Russian, Soviet-Russian - the traces of the minor role money
played in the Soviet era were still present in social discourse in
1993 - and free enterprise ideologies, respectively. They also reveal
that by that time a clear tendency towards a concept of money oriented
by market economy had already emerged, at least among the younger
urban population.},
