Abstract

A significant part of far-right activities worldwide take place within the media ecosystem formed by accounts and communities on social media platforms. Drawing on the media ideology approach, this study investigates how far-right Russian internet users perceive various social media platforms and how their sociopolitical beliefs affect these perceptions. Based on a series of in-depth semi-structured interviews, we argue that far-right users assess social media platforms according to the criteria of security, meaning privacy and non-cooperation with law enforcement agencies; freedom from moderation; and functionality, including informational, communicational, recreational, and self-expressional roles. The results demonstrate that, for a sociopolitically stigmatized user cohort, media ideology becomes a tool for adaptation and survival, stressing the factors of privacy protection and ideological proximity.

"右翼安全空间 "与 "少校同志"：俄罗斯极右翼社交媒体用户的媒体意识形态

全球极右翼活动的很大一部分发生在社交媒体平台上的账户和社区形成的媒体生态系统中。利用媒体意识形态方法，本研究调查了极右翼的俄罗斯互联网用户如何看待各种社交媒体平台，以及他们的社会政治信仰如何影响这些看法。基于一系列深入的半结构化访谈，我们认为极右翼用户根据安全标准评估社交媒体平台，这意味着隐私和不与执法机构合作；自由：不受节制的自由；和功能性，包括信息，沟通，娱乐和自我表达的角色。结果表明，对于被社会政治污名化的用户群体来说，媒介意识形态成为适应和生存的工具，强调隐私保护和意识形态接近的因素。

期刊介绍： Social Media + Society is an open access, peer-reviewed scholarly journal that focuses on the socio-cultural, political, psychological, historical, economic, legal and policy dimensions of social media in societies past, contemporary and future. We publish interdisciplinary work that draws from the social sciences, humanities and computational social sciences, reaches out to the arts and natural sciences, and we endorse mixed methods and methodologies. The journal is open to a diversity of theoretic paradigms and methodologies. The editorial vision of Social Media + Society draws inspiration from research on social media to outline a field of study poised to reflexively grow as social technologies evolve. We foster the open access of sharing of research on the social properties of media, as they manifest themselves through the uses people make of networked platforms past and present, digital and non. The journal presents a collaborative, open, and shared space, dedicated exclusively to the study of social media and their implications for societies. It facilitates state-of-the-art research on cutting-edge trends and allows scholars to focus and track trends specific to this field of study.
