Media wartime

Who and how forms aggression for Ukraine: lecture by Yuri Saprykina in "Paper"

In the past six months, the Russian media are at war and live according to the laws of wartime. It is the Russian media, and not the Russian state - the most immersed in the conflict, said journalist Yuri Saprykin.

The wartime media has a specific task: to raise the morale, to create the image of the enemy and demonize the enemy. Making a lecture in St. Petersburg, Saprykin formulated several techniques with which Russian media perform this task. In particular, this is a conflict premises in the context of confrontation with fascism; enemy dehumanization; Interpretation of events instead of a message from facts.

At the same time, it would be incorrect to consider the initiator of the aggression of the Kremlin. According to Saprykin, with which the media are engaged in this work with this work, says their sincerity: "This is not the Kremlin so forces him to speak, this is an absolutely sincere drive, sincere aggression, it is already sitting deep inside."

The lecture of Yuri Saprykin on the role of Russian media in the conflict in Ukraine took place as part of the Clinic cycle, which organizes a new scene of the Alexandrinsky Theater. The performance of the journalist is published by the publication "Paper".

In fact, the hot phase of the conflict, which began in mid -April, already lay down in the rut prepared with media means: we were told for two months that Russians were killed in Ukraine, and then they really began to kill them.
