A large number of publications and news stories in Russian media lately was devoted to the situation in Ukraine. Thousand people went to “Maidan Nezalezhnosti” (literally: Independence Square), the central square of Kiev, to protest when the Government suspended preparations for signing the Association Agreement and Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement with the European Union. This wave of ongoing demonstrations is now known as Euromaidan. As researchers we are interested not in the causes or consequences of this event, but in the peculiarities of its media coverage in Russia.
