The social, economic, political and cultural changes brought about by the Cuban Revolution have elicited linguistic changes. Although the Revolution is only fifteen years old, these changes have reached the morphological and semantic components of the language. This paper explains the Russian influence and discusses and classifies "rusonol" examples (mixture of Russian and Spanish). The de-Americanization of Cuban Spanish is treated as a parallel development to the Russification of the language. The article also deals with Spanish neologisms which describe the new social order.
