An analysis of persuasive techniques in russia-ukraine war propaganda /

This research paper examines how Russia-Ukraine war related news is presented by social actors who are not directly participating in the war, more specifically, it analyzes how news related to this particular conflict is presented in the American media. By analyzing the posts from the social platform X published by two congresswomen – Nancy Pelosi and Marjorie Taylor Greene, the study aims to investigate what ideas and narratives these congresswomen wanted to convey to their readers and what techniques were employed to achieve this goal. The analysis has revealed that the attitudes of the congresswomen towards the same questions differ, which can be explained not only by the existence of different personal attitudes but also by the representation of different political parties and their ideas. Besides that, the study illustrates how seven propaganda techniques, created by the Institute of Propaganda Analysis (IPA), were employed by congresswomen to persuade people, in such a way demonstrating how propaganda can be easily detected in everyday situations.
