The article reveals the integral and differential meanings of the ironical names of scientists used in Russian. It clarifies the dates of their emergence and actualization for society. It establishes that the reasons for the generation of nominations’ multiplicity lie in the sphere of culture, politics and public consciousness. It shows how at the present time these expressions are acquiring a more generalized semantics and are actively used outside their strict references.

Keywords: history of words and expressions, phraseology, ironical designations, scientists.
