Abstract
This publication examines the ways and means of displaying the concept of justice in the Russian language picture of the world in order to show how the meaning of the analyzed concept varies in relation to the main human values. The National Corpus of the Russian language allows us to establish that in the Russian language consciousness the idea of justice is defined in relation to a great number of sometimes heterogeneous concepts - truth, faith, law, honor, honesty, equality, love, etc. This heterogeneity is based on the diversity of subject areas, as well as on the extreme diversity of ideas about justice. In this sense, justice is selective and relative, because axiological norms serving as basis to judgments about justice are selective and relative as well.

Keywords: corpus linguistics, language picture of the world, contexts of opinion, axiological norms.
