Summary/Abstract: Beginning in December 2011, the Russian media has become a site for the construction of a perticular metalanguage, through which journalists describe the current political context in general and the imaginaries of the protest movement in particular as a revolution of the "creative (middle) class." The artificially generated opposition of categories of participants' backgrounds in oppositional and progovernment protest circulates in "official," government-controlled and "independent," liberal media outlets alike. In these circumstances of the mediatization of society, political struggle is conducted with the help of concrete images.
