Summary/Abstract: PSYCHOLOGICAL READING OF EDITORIALS CONCERNING TERRORIST ATTACK AGAINST AMERICA ON 9/11 IN RUSSIAN PRINTS: III. THE CASE WITH "IZVESTIA" - "WAR ON SHADOW" / In the present article we use again the methodology constructed by our Bulgarian-American team in our efforts to analyze the articles from Russian newspaper "Izvestia" from social, phenomenological and psycholinguistic point of view. This methodology includes five major points: (1) The number and pattern of the editorials relating to the attack and its aftermath; (2) The literary styles in which the editorials are written; (3) The nature and number of historical references used; (4) The specific figures of speech noted as salient, and (5) The overall structure of themes emerging from the year-long period of editorial reflection. We are discussing the results obtained by the analysis of Russian newspaper's "Izvestia" articles. Part of the data is close to those we have received for the Bulgarian newspaper "Sega". For example, in the Russian newspaper are cited many historical facts — historical references, from Russian close and distant past. Also there are differences — the articles from "Izvestia", discussing terrorist acts in the US from September 2001 are more detailed, e.g. longer than those in Bulgarian prints. Often they are illustrated by interviews of famous people or citizens asked on the streets.
