The research aimed to outline the features of “new normal” communication behavior of young military leaders due to the COVID-19 pandemic influence. To study this critical problem we used some general scientific and empirical methods like literature analysis, synthesis and theoretical modelling, pedagogical experience, statistical data processing. The author found that the changes include development of closed and indirect forms, introduction of new lexical, grammatical, and stylistic units, fake information spread, misuse of information and communication technologies (ICT), periodical refusal to message with non-verbal tools. The findings show that professional discourse among young military leaders changes fast because of the COVID-19 pandemic. And the transformations involve different communication behavior, the more significant role of leaders in study group especially in the context of peer-to-peer learning, critical thinking development, independent production and comprehension of professional utterances, higher responsibility of a speaker. The experiment demonstrates that military officers and cadets are likely to cope with new “rules of the game” and they continue to carry out security tasks prioritizing discipline, considerable motivation, psychological readiness to high-risk conditions and adaptability to counteract dramatic challenges. The article is one of the early researches reviewing the features of young military leaders’ discourse and describing its current transformations. The research can contribute to developement of recommendations for professional discourse improvements and, consequently, to enhance the efficiency of professional activities of military officers.

乌克兰 COVID-19 大流行期间年轻军事领导人专业话语的重塑

该研究旨在概述由于 COVID-19 大流行影响年轻军事领导人的“新常态”沟通行为的特征。为了研究这个关键问题，我们使用了一些通用的科学和经验方法，如文献分析、综合和理论建模、教学经验、统计数据处理。作者发现这些变化包括封闭和间接形式的发展、新词汇、语法和文体单位的引入、虚假信息传播、信息和通信技术 (ICT) 的滥用、定期拒绝使用非语言工具传递信息。调查结果表明，由于 COVID-19 大流行，年轻军事领导人之间的专业话语发生了快速变化。而这些转变涉及不同的沟通行为，领导者在学习小组中的作用更显着，尤其是在同伴学习、批判性思维发展、独立生产和专业话语的理解、演讲者的更高责任的背景下。实验表明，军官和学员有可能应对新的“游戏规则”，并继续执行优先考虑纪律、相当大的动力、对高风险条件的心理准备和应对巨大挑战的适应能力的安全任务。这篇文章是回顾年轻军事领导人话语特征并描述其当前转变的早期研究之一。该研究有助于为专业话语改进提出建议，因此，
