The Spelling Dictionary of the Vinogradov Russian Language Institute (the most authoritative one in Russia) has added 675 new words many of which are borrowed from English. Some examples in English:

coworking
drone (only as an aircraft)
fake (noun)
like/dislike (nouns)
podcast
post (a message on a website)
retweet (noun; we add a suffix when we use it as a verb)
selfie
vegan
