ABSTRACT The coronavirus epidemic caused not only an explosion of attention in Russian public communication, but the media discourse content also transformed radically during the first months of the 2020 epidemic: from distrust and panic to responsible balanced content. An analysis of this phenomenon allows for a deeper understanding of the evolution of the value-normative characteristics of modern society broadcast in the media. There is a trend of a transition from ill-conceived propaganda of rights to a balance of rights and responsibilities as well as an increase of attention in public discourse to free speech. In addition, there is a trend towards a transition from the dominance of post-truth to manifestations of personal freedom as responsibility. The dynamics of the coronavirus discourse not only fit into this general civilizational trend, but they provided additional impulses for the trend’s further development. Such a shift in emphasis makes it useful to appeal to the concept of parrhesia – a free and responsible ‘taking the floor’ (‘word-taking’).

ABSTRACT The paper presents the analysis of speech perception and of the specific nature of communication between migrants and residents of Moscow, as reflected in the digital environment. The main focus is on conflictogenic digital zones, as well as methods for predicting and preventing conflicts. The development of algorithms to make predictions about users’ possible actions, the occurrence and prevention of conflicts is an important task of interdisciplinary research. The goals of research were achieved based on the analysis of social media data. Neural network modeling, statistical analysis, and differential equations were used as research methods. In mathematical modeling, three types of models were built: an equation of linear regression, as well as logistic and type-epidemiological mathematical models. The study showed that the use of parallel models using differential equations, mathematical statistics and neural network technology to determine the dynamics of aggressive online activity, in particular, to analyze users’ perception of conflict situations related to the topic of migrants, makes it possible to correctly analyze conflict zones in the development of a modern metropolis, to increase the effectiveness of research methods and predictive analytics of the development of social tension.

ABSTRACT The researchers interviewed 16 women about their experiences immigrating from the Russian Federation to the United States. An interpretive analysis of these women's stories revealed three strategies employed during the immigration process. This analysis also revealed how these women perceived agency and how perceptions varied depending on the available communication and social affordances. These in-depth interviews provide new insights about the challenges women face when immigrating from Russia. Participants described that they felt stereotyped in diverse ways. Some described how many Americans, and some Russians, perceived all women from Russia as mail-order brides. Participants also reported other ascribed labels, often drawn from stereotypical Russian tropes (e.g. Secret Agent). These women explained how these stereotypes influenced their ability to adapt to the United States and, in turn, the immigration strategies they employed. A discussion of how these findings contribute to feminist standpoint theory, sensemaking, and agency concludes the paper.

ABSTRACT The aim of this paper is to analyse jokes about Vladimir Putin and show how people’s perception of his actions and behaviour changed between 2014 and 2018. The annexation of Crimea by Russia in March 2014 marks the starting point of this analysis, and it ends in December 2018, at the end of the year in which Putin was elected President of Russia for the fourth time. More than 350 jokes from the portal anekdot.ru have been divided up thematically and analysed using two typologies: the kind of joke and assessment of the president's role. The strategy of combining these two classifications makes it easier to evaluate precisely the roles of the president that emerge from these jokes.

ABSTRACT Inspired by Couldry’s conceptualisation of media-related practices, the authors investigate the ways Baltic Russian-speakers manage their digital information-seeking (sources of news) practices and interaction (communication partners). Amidst the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the ensuing tensions between Russia and the West, we consider how these digital practices lead to ideological heterogeneity or homogeneity. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has put the transnational affiliations and practices of Baltic Russophones under pressure. This paper therefore asks how the polarised political environment and securitisation of the cross-border media practices of Baltic Russian-speakers by the national political elite has shaped how individuals respond by keeping channels open or screening content out. Based on a mixed-method study of the digital practices of Russian-speakers living in Estonia and Latvia, the authors argue that practices supporting digital homophily and digital heterophily are not mutually exclusive but appear in specific configurations. The avoidance of counter-oppositional views (screening out) is not absolute but rather mixed with practices that open channels from time to time.

ABSTRACT This article compares the output and functions of Russian national and international television broadcasts through a case study of this media coverage of the European Union and the migration crisis in European countries. The channels chosen for the study are RT, which has projected Russia's view of the world internationally, and the First Channel (FC) which is the most widely available TV channel inside Russia. The data examined confirms that the messages and frames presented by Russian television use various techniques to influence their audiences and are modified for internal and external audiences. However, in common they portray European authorities as incompetent and unable to maintain order in the context of the migration crisis. It is argued in the article that the main function of this portrayal of disorder in Europe is to facilitate the consolidation of the Russian state's domestic control and power.

ABSTRACT The research is focused on the problem of the ambiguity in the perception of Russia in the British media during the 2018 FIFA World Cup and based on the competing frames theory by J. Druckman. The content analysis of 751 articles about Russia from the British broadsheets and tabloids was conducted to highlight five frames: ‘Russia as the enemy of Great Britain,’ ‘Russia as the potential partner of Great Britain,’ ‘Russia as the unsafe state,’ ‘Russia as the worthy host of the World Cup,’ ‘Russia as a country with a rich culture.’ The results show that negative perception of Russia prevails in the British media field, especially in the broadsheets. Despite the slight positive dynamics during the World Cup, by the end of the games, the frequency of frames returns to pre-championship values. The research contributes to the development of competing frames theory and allows testing the frame strength criteria.
