The focus is on the international legal documents of the second half of the XVII century which have been linguistically poorly-studied yet. The language of such documents is distinguished by a combination of mandative and Slavonic-written elements that obey the communicative and stylistic attitudes of the writers. The article has expressed the idea that the international legal documents take a special position among the texts created in the standard and non-standard mandative language. Representing official legal documents, such acts should have been drawn up by means of the standard mandative language. However, in reality, they contain some Church Slavonic elements which are non-standard for them. It seems significant to have discovered the Church Slavonic elements in a thematically and genre-limited group of official documents within the mandative tradition. It helps to clarify the ways of appearance of Church Slavonic means in the official business language of Peter the Great period and also the mechanisms of their adaptation in the new linguistic space of state communication.
