The aim of our study is to determine the degree of
speech influence of the utterances of Russian
politicians in political debates. We analyze speech
influence from the point of view of the category of
intensity. By identifying the means expressing
intensity in the Russian language we have calculated
which and how many of them were used in Russian
political debates. By using the methods of the strategic
approach we have calculated which and how many of
the means expressing intensity were used in the
strategy of discredit and in the strategy of selfpresentation.
By using the notion of the argument, the
argumentative course and argumentative step we have
created the argumentative structure of the utterances of
Russian politicians, which may consist of one or more
levels. The more levels are in the argumentative
structure, the more intensive is the argument. So we
have calculated the levels of each argument. We also
considered the connection between the reasons. Linked
arguments are more intensive than convergent ones.
So we have calculated how many arguments with the
linked connection and how many with the convergent
connection there are in the analyzed political debates
