Russia’s Radical Othering in the Global Academic Discourse
Russia in Global Affairs. 2024. Vol. 22. No. 4. P. 136–154.

Many critical scholars hold that the new Cold War is already more dangerous than its predecessor, partly due to the synergy of Western intelligence services and various hegemonic-ideological institutions—the Censorship-Industrial Complex—in demonizing Russia. Although many critical scholars agree that Western academia plays a crucial role in reproducing the hegemonic anti-Russian discourse, this paper is one of the first efforts to empirically measure how pervasive that discourse is within the academic literature. The analysis of 100 articles on the Ukraine conflict published in the Taylor and Francis academic journals shows that 62 articles explain the Ukraine conflict in terms of Russia’s aggressiveness, imperialism, autocracy and propaganda, with another 31 articles reproducing the same anti-Russian discourse implicitly.

Статья продолжает цикл публикаций об искусственном интеллекте в библиотечной практике и посвящена аудиотехнологиям и интерактивным форматам работы с наследием. На примере архивной аудиозаписи творческого вечера 1986 года показано, как связка технологий синтеза (Text-to-Speech) и распознавания речи (Speech-to-Text) позволяет «оживить» уникальный контент: получить структурированную расшифровку, очистить звук, создать подкаст, аудиогид или сценарий интерактивной выставки.

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. In this study, these strategies are classified based on the prevailing models of candidate selection by voters and ...

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, ...

Post-Soviet Eurasia is one of the world's most geopolitically consequential and rapidly transforming regions. Developments across it increasingly reshape political, economic and social relations far beyond its borders. Understanding these dynamics is therefore both intellectually urgent and analytically demanding, requiring an interdisciplinary approach capable of moving beyond established categories and fragmented national perspectives.
