| Title | The Image of Enemy Russian Pro-Government Media During the Ukrainian Crisis in December 2013 - April 2014 |
| Summary | In this paper is investigated the image of enemy that was constructed in Russian pro-government media during the Ukrainian crisis in December 2013 - April 2014. The findings of the paper allow to understand the main trends of the arguments Russian propaganda used to legitimize Russian policy in the eyes of the audience. According to the paper two main arguments were used. The first one includes labeling the members of maidan movement and after its victory new Ukrainian government as "fascist-banderivtsy" in order to discredit them in Russian - speaking public opinion by appealing to the "sacred value" of the Soviet victory over Nazi-Germany in Second World War. The second argument was rhetoric that presented western democracies (EU and USA) as enemies trying to destabilize post-soviet space and cut Russian influence in Ukraine. By April 2014 this two arguments have merged. |
