Hence, the subject matter of the thesis is the critical analysis of Western and Russian news on Ukrainian demonstrations published between December, 2013–March, 2014. The topicality of the research focus is not only derived from its timeliness, but it is also related to its nature since the Ukrainian crisis is a potential decisive topic that has engaged Western and Eastern media sources. For this reason we will compare and contrast a number of selected news items reported by the Western and Russian sources.67endiscourseideologyDiscourse and ideologydiplomamunkaApproaching the Ukrainian crisis in the western and eastern mediaDiskurzus és IdeológiaDEENK Témalista::Nyelvtudományip
