The 2014 Ukraine Coup and the Demonization of Russia
P. 225–247.
As is evident from statistical data, a worldwide collapse of positive attitudes toward Russia occurred in 2014—the year Russia annexed Crimea and supported rebels in eastern Ukraine who allegedly shot down the passenger plane MH17 using the Russian Buk missile system. As this chapter argues, an understanding of what happened in Ukraine in 2013–14 and how the complexity of the Ukrainian crisis of that time has been simplified and distorted in political and media representations is crucial for understanding not only the change in global public opinion after 2014 but also the Russia-Ukraine war of 2022. The chapter discusses the complexities of the Ukrainian situation in 2013–14, the simplified and distorted representation of the situation in the global hegemonic discourse of civilizational advance, the frame of reference for the ongoing war of 2022 presented in the speeches of Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky, and the ruinous implications for global peace of the simplistic “evil them vs. good us” dichotomy.
