DANYLIW RESEARCH SEMINAR ON CONTEMPORARY UKRAINE

The presentation explores the visual representation of Russian-Ukrainian relations, focusing on the evolution from a narrative of “brotherhood” to antagonistic approach within Ukrainian media discourse since 1954. The impact of Russian aggression caused a rapid re-evaluation and re-construction of the visual meanings of Russian-Ukrainian relations, especially the image of Russia itself, spread across diverse media platforms including social networks, television, posters, caricatures, and memes.
