Abstract
The article presents the results of a comparative analysis of the content and visual aspects of the Crimean discourse during the events of the Crimean spring of 2014 and five years after them (2018–2019) in the German online space. The relevance of the chosen topic is due to the ambiguity of assessing the events of the Crimean Spring in the German online media. The results of a study carried out with the financial support of the Russian Foundation for Basic Research within the framework of scientific project No18–011–00937/20 “Ukrainian information flows in the Crimean segment of social media: risks and technologies for overcoming the negative effects of anti-Russian rhetoric in the online environment” showed that the Crimean agenda on the one hand, it is filled with visual images that form a connection between the peninsula and Russia in the German media field, and on the other hand, the influence of the Ukrainian factor is invariably present in it, deforming the media image of the Crimean Spring and Crimea in general, introducing anti-Russian attitudes into it. The study of the tonality of the Crimean content in the online space of Germany revealed that the media image of the Crimean Spring was formed after the events, which led to the fact that after five years it turned into a negative field in the German media space, with the bulk of negative content being formed under the influence of the Ukrainian factor.
Supporting agencies: The study was conducted with the financial support of RFBR, research project No18-011-00937/20 "Ukrainian information flows in the Crimean segment of social media: risks and technologies of overcoming of negative effects of anti-Russian rhetoric in the online environment".
