The article analyzes the development and implementation of various institutions of scientific imperialism: the institution of scientific publications in English, the institution of academic writing standardization, the institution of indexing research papers exclusively in the world's two largest abstract and citation databases. It is shown that the implementation of scientific imperialism institutions leads to a number of negative consequences, i.e. slowing down the dissemination of research results and loss of the culture-specific ways of scientific cognition. Possible strategies for mitigating the negative effects of scientific imperialism institutions are outlined.
