Есть ли выход из пузыря? Мотивы потребления идеологически чуждой информации думскроллерами
Полис. Политические исследования. 2023. № 4. С. 168–181.
The study is based on 46 interviews with doomscrollers – people who identify themselves as painfully excessive news consumers. Doomscrollers are characterized by an increase in the time of viewing news and an expansion of the list of resources used. Therefore, we can expect that they consume, among other things, the news of their ideological opponents. There are three forms of consumption: non-consumption, forced and voluntary (regular or episodic) consumption. When making decisions to watch news from media sources they disagree with, people evaluate the utility and cost (emotional, cognitive, time) of involvement in the information flow. There are different motives to consume opponent’s news: the willingness to understand your opponents, the desire to confirm one’s personal point of view, to maintain a moderate position, and find a “golden mean”. In addition, such news may be used for entertainment purposes. Based on the informant’s explanation of their use of ideologically opposite news sources, it can be assumed that such media consumption does not help people to go beyond their filter bubble. Most of these explanations do not imply the possibility of correcting their own beliefs. Ideologically opposite news simply becomes a means of making sure one is right, winning an argument, or making fun of ideas one does not agree with.

The "sweep effect", the most well-known consequence of the multiple non-transferable vote system, is inconsistent. This may be related to the broad voting opportunities provided by the electoral system, which facilitate the formation of diverse voting strategies.

This article explores the role of the term “tolerance” in Russian presidential discourse, 2000-2020. The word became de-politicized (used equally in liberal and in conservative contexts), functioning as a buzzword and as a symbol. As a buzzword, it stood “for all good things” and denoted the positive dynamics in Russia’s nationalities and foreign policies; as ...

In 2006, a “tolerance policy” was launched in St. Petersburg to address the growing xenophobia and the need to integrate labor migrants. Applying a bottom–up perspective, this study finds that this policy was symbolic – aimed at changing public attitudes, not at providing material outcomes. The direct implementers (the street-level bureaucracy), operating under governmental constraints, ...
