THE WAR NARRATIVE OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION. ANALYSIS OF THE MENTAL SPACE GENERATED BY V. PUTIN IN SPEECHES TO THE NATION

Summary/Abstract: This article presents the results of an analysis of Vladimir Putin’s speeches deliveredin connection with the ‘special military operation’ conducted by the Russian Federation againstUkraine. The study conducted indicates that Putin has created a mental space in his narrativebased on a closed and dogmatic description of the parties to the conflict. In his narrative on thecauses of the Russian military intervention, he builds a world of (anti-)heroes and describes themwith the invocation of a specific ‘weaponised’ lexis, which in turn determines the presentationof facts about the war in Ukraine based on the four basic tactics of the propaganda narrative,that is, denial, distortion, deflation and disquiet.
