Media Narrative as a Russian Propaganda Tool. The “Yellow Vests” Revolution in France as Presented in Network Reports of Russian Propaganda Media

Summary/Abstract: The article concerns the propagandist influence of the media narratives created during political protests. The results of research carried out during the „Yellow Vests” revolution in France, present the activity of Russian propaganda media. The quantitative analysis confirmed the hypothesis that the propaganda narrative does not have to involve creating fake news and trolling, or disinformation activities that are usually the domain of interference of the Russian Federation in the information security of third countries. Instead, effectively implemented propaganda can take the form of an intensive coverage of events that builds a narrative fostering the fulfillment of propaganda goals. The article shows the important role of social media used as a channel of „telling” stories about political protests, to strengthen the phenomenon of cyberpolarisation. Creating the network enclaves of deliberation effectively sustains interest in the protest, increasing the range of information about it and activating antagonisms between social groups.
