Summary/Abstract: The article aims to study fi ve ideological dimensions of anti-democraticpropaganda in Bulgarian media that articulate in a variety of perspectives thesame general talking points: ‘The decline of Europe’, ‘The Rise of Russia’,‘Bulgaria’s venal elites’, ‘The US/NATO as global hegemon/puppet-master”.The task is namely to check the ‘elasticity’ of anti-democratic propaganda, tosee how, and to what extent, the general talking points can be rearranged andextended in different ideological directions so as to encompass different social stereotypes and discontents and package them around three basic oppositions: nationalism versus liberalism, the people versus the elites, Russia versus the West. The article tries also to clarify what are the political implications and what is the future of the world that the ideological variations of the main propaganda points presuppose and suggest.
