Note the drop in mentions of nationalist enemies in the previous slide?
Or the sudden rise in mentions of refugees and liberation since October, while mentions of the SMO and patriotism remain relatively unchanged?
Yeah, that's not about Ukraine.
It's about Israel-Hamas.
7/
Mentions of schemes against Russia and mentions of occupied territories have plummeted, though mentions of the SMO remain relatively stable.
At first glance, it appears to be a return to the geopolitical narratives that Russia peddled in advance of the war. BUT...
6/
War was mentioned on and off in 2022 until becoming a permanent fixture by mid-January.
Nationalists were mentioned throughout 2022-2023 until October.
If we zoom in on depictions of Russia's enemies, the shift is pretty stark: these days, it's all America, all of the time.
5/
The decline in mentions of the war since mid-September is easier to see, here.
All mentions are tracked using Integrum's broadcast TV transcripts. Then they are calculated relative to mentions of the weather: below zero = less salient, above zero = more salient.

🚨November RuMOR update! 🚨
The war continued to slide off Russian TV in Sep-Oct, interrupted only by the anniversary of Russia's annexations. And the Israel-Hamas war has done Russia a favor in domestic propaganda.
But first, the obligatory spaghetti chart!
