Abstract

When entering active politics, Boris Johnson tries to use his communicative prop-erties as effectively as possible. A well-known graduate of Eton College, as well as Oxford, he actively communicates with his classmates and other graduates, as well as authoritative and influential people who will play key roles in his political career in the future. Being ac-tive in political communications, Johnson shows ‘political wobbles’ in the heterogeneous political space of the UK, thus earning unflattering reviews. So, after being appointed head of the Ministry of foreign Affairs, he is repeatedly criticized by the mass media and foreign politicians. Johnson actively speaks out about the problems of communication with China and Russia, showing fickle views and assessments. Johnson’s communicative-active and politically-discrete properties allow him to radically change his political statements without much personal difficulty. Not so long ago, he revised his attitude to the question of the influence of the Russian Federation on the referendum on Britain’s exit from the European Union, saying that after a long work, no evidence was found of Moscow’s interference in the referendum. Perhaps, we shall soon see another transformation of the views and skills of this shocking and new in all senses political person in the chair of the head of the UK ministry.
