Firstly, Sarah Oates and Sean Steiner focus on decoding Russia’s strategic narrative, noting that while its roots are in Soviet propaganda, its contemporary storylines are more organic and dynamic. Secondly, Tina Burrett compares coverage of China and the US on Russian TV news, highlighting a shift in 2004, after which China has been depicted more positively and the US more negatively. Thirdly, Tatiana Dubrovskaya investigates how government and opposition media have represented the sanctions regime imposed on Russia in recent years, arguing that the differences between these media sources reflect their contrasting views on Russia’s role in international affairs. </DIV></TD>

<DIV style="LINE-HEIGHT: 19px">A key way to understand and decode Russian propaganda is to examine how and why Russians develop and maintain strategic narratives. Strategic narratives are the way in which countries construct and project their preferred image and destiny in the world order. For Russia, strategic narratives have both reflected and justified their recent military activity, including in Ukraine and Syria. This article decodes Russian strategic narrative by explaining the development and projection of two key storylines that fit within the “West against Russia” strategic narrative: Russophobia and an ironic response to the British statement that it was “highly likely” the Russian government was behind the Skripal poisoning in England in March 2018. While Russian strategic narrative can be seen to have roots in Soviet propaganda, contemporary Russian global propaganda is more organic and dynamic. The analysis of Russian strategic narrative allows us to understand more clearly the logic in Russian propaganda found on English-language outlets such as RT and more effectively deter Russian information aggression.</DIV></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD>

<DIV style="LINE-HEIGHT: 19px">Russian television remains the most trusted source of international news for most Russians and, since it is state-controlled, provides insight into the Kremlin’s priorities. While there is some criticism of China, reporting on that country has been generally positive since the 2004 resolution of their border dispute. Positive stories about the US ended with the invasion of Iraq in 2004 and then turned hostile as Obama imposed sanctions for the invasion of Crimea.</DIV></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD>
