3. Results
Quantitative research
In order to determine how often different regional media use certain phrases naming the reasons of the spread of infection, it seemed reasonable to start with counting the number of posts on the matter. The phrases that were searched for are the following:
? guests from Moscow
? came from another region
? came from [a foreign country]
? were visiting [someone] in a different region/city
These people seemed to be the mostly used reasons of the local residents becoming infected with COVID-19. The number of posts found using the search engine in Telegram is presented in Table 2.

Total: 62 posts |
As it can be seen from the table, there were 62 posts written on the regional Telegram channels in 33 days between 28.03.20 and 30.04.20. That seems to be quite an extensive coverage of the topic - which is only natural considering its current importance. This fact also supports the argument that constant repetition is used in media to increase the effectiveness of the narrative points transmitted through them.
It should also be mentioned that different number of posts regarding the reasons for the spread of Coronavirus shows the uneven distribution of the necessity to do so. One can argue that in different regions local authorities use different approaches to handle the situation - however, this part of the study seems to need more extensive research.
Next, it is logical to proceed with further linguistic analysis introduced by Greimas. It consists of three levels of scrutinizing the media: discourse analysis, narrative analysis and deep level analysis. To present the tendencies apparent from the media posts written in the past month, a table was created (Table 3). It combines all the representative posts from different regions to clarify the suggestions made in the following sections of this paper. The phrases showing the social groups held accountable for the COVID-19 outbreak in the regions are in bold for the ease of understanding.

Губернатор Игорь Руденя на совещании с главами призвал четко соблюдать рекомендации федеральных ведомств по профилактике коронавируса и проявлять бдительность к тем, кто приехал из стран, где отмечены вспышки COVID-19. |
Governor Igor Rudenya at a meeting with the heads called for strict adherence to the recommendations of federal departments for the prevention of coronavirus and to be vigilant towards those who came from countries where outbreaks of COVID-19 were registered. |
Having all the representative posts combined, it is easier to proceed with describing some of the tendencies emerging from them.
Qualitative analysis
1. The discourse level
There are several tendencies one can notice on the level of linguistic analysis. They can be categorized as follows:
? There are three main categories of people constantly mentioned as the main reasons for the COVID-19 outbreak in the regions: people coming home from Moscow in search for self-isolation, people coming home from other regions and those who returned from a trip to a foreign country (regardless of the reasons for such trips). One can argue that this “classification of actants” creates an opposition between “us” - the residents of the region - and “them” - people from either of these categories. Moreover, it is also can be considered labelling because of the fact that these people are now perceived within this negative framework - whether you are from Moscow, other region or a foreign country, you are now perceived as a threat.
? The language used in these posts is mostly formal and lets “the facts speak”, as one might say. There is little to no expressive vocabulary in the posts and they are presented as simple reports on the development of the situation with the virus. The extensive usage of number only supports this stance.
? However, there are several cases are worth mentioning separately - namely, those of Belgorod and Voronezh regions. The words chosen by these regional media seem to be the most hostile of the sample - Belgorod №1 perceives Muscovites as the only reason why “epidemiological situation is unfavourable” in the region and despises the authorities for neglecting their duties due to the lack of measures taken in regards to the two people from Dominican republic coming to Belgorod (“But for now, nobody cares”). Voronezh, in its turn, provides an overwhelmingly factual yet unsympathetic post with detailed information about people coming from either of the places mentioned above and infecting the local residents.
? There are no negative personifications or precedent phenomena - it might be partially explained by the fact that the language itself is formal and unexpressive.
? Some regions are more prone to citing the groups of people in question as to the sole reason for the COVID-19 outbreak. It might be explained by several reasons: from mere lack of necessity to do so to the number of people coming to a region from different places. It seems that a deeper investigation of these reasons might become a topic for future research.
Thus, one can conclude that the main linguistic techniques used to create the enemy image in these posts are labelling and dehumanization (formalization), rarely - expressive language (although muted). One can also suggest that there exists a certain degree of simplification - instead of detailed explanation of the causes and effects of coronavirus, Telegram channels choose to shorten the distance between them and the audience by mentioning certain groups of people as the primary reason for the outbreak. Moreover, it creates an interesting perspective in regards to the whole narrative of “coronavirus vs the regions”.
2. The narrative level
On the narrative level, the situation becomes increasingly intriguing. Starting with the end of March 2020, regional Telegram channels start posting their regular reports on how the situation with the COVID-19 outbreak develops. At first, they are reluctant to admit there are any people infected by the virus - although it is quite hard to prove, there are suggestions stating that the first infected people appeared back in February 2020. Then, throughout the entire period the author explores, some of them, although admitting the outbreak happening in the regions, present anything and anyone as the reason for the outbreak - apart from the local authorities, who, in their own words, praise them for the measures taken to prevent the virus from further spreading. Nowadays (in May 2020), one can see that the narrative changed again - due to the overwhelming number of infected people, the media start to embrace the problem as it is no longer possible to switch the burden of being the root of the problem to other people.
In order to analyze the narrative using the model the author chose, the following questions need an answer (Table 4):
Table 4
Question |
Answer |
|
Who is the subject of the quest? The subject is usually the person or group of people most talked about, for example “the British army” or “the American president.” It gives the overall perspective from which a media item is composed. |
The subject of the “quest” - and, consequently, texts - are the residents of the Russian regions. |
|
Who or what is the object of the quest? Is there more than one object? The goal could be concrete, such as acquiring money, or abstract, such as acquiring knowledge. |
The object of the quest is to overcome the coronavirus outbreak, while also maintaining social and economic stability in the region. |
|
Does the subject have helpers and opponents? A helper can be a person, an object, or a quality. The opponent is an obstacle - for example a rock, or the attribute of laziness. |
The helpers in this narrative are local authorities - they implement measures to prevent the virus from spreading uncontrollably and take care of the population's concerns. The opponents are people of the three categories mentioned above - people coming home from Moscow to self-isolate, people coming home from other regions and those who returned from a trip to a foreign country |
|
Who or what is the sender? What motivates the quest of the subject? Is it a person, an idea, a desire, or a sense of obligation? |
The sender here is either the admin of a regional Telegram channel or - ultimately, considering they are all official and are run by people close to the local government - the local authorities themselves. They set the agenda and determine the narrative's direction. They are motivated by the desire to look professional and competent in the eyes of their higher-ups and the locals (who, might I add, will participate in elections at some point). They also do not want to be held accountable for the COVID-19 outbreak happening in their lands. |
Thus, it can be seen from the narrative analysis that, although the local media do not set enemy image creation as their main goal, they, directed by the local authorities, use certain manipulative methods to maintain power and authority, thus almost unintentionally creating the negative narrative.
It should also be mentioned that the narrative analysis suggests the implementation of propaganda in these posts. With accordance to Ellul's theory, it can be named the Social Horizontal Rational Propaganda of Integration - a self-organized, fact-based propaganda aimed at excluding certain groups of people from the landscape and spread among people with similar social status. A pre-propaganda seems to also be evident from the narrative considering the fact that people from smaller regions tend to despise - to a certain degree- people who can afford to travel abroad or move to Moscow, which can be partially explained by their lower living standards. For at least 20 years, polls show that Muscovites, according to residents of the regions, live at their expense, since all financial resources flow from the regions and territories to the capital. According to WCIOM, in 1999, 81% of Russians were sure that Moscow lives spending the money of the regions, in 2002 - 82%, in 2004 - 85%.
3. The deep level analysis
In this part, Greimas suggests that a researcher needs to take a step back from the text and address the bigger picture - in this case, it is the issue of COVID-19 pandemic becoming the point of no return for the whole world, reshaping our perception of certain things and sometimes causing people to blame each other for whatever consequences they might face because of it. Ultimately, it can be said that the main underlying opposition one can currently see is not between people themselves, but between people and the virus. It can be named the main “villain” or the “enemy” of the current narrative structures, but, when facing the inability to hold a harmful accountable for the frustration we face, we turn them to people who might be scolded, ostracized and punished for the mere fact we experience our fears and frustrations. We cannot talk to the virus about the reasons why it spreads so rapidly, but we can close Muscovits in an isolator to prevent them from infecting the locals. At the end of the day, it turns out that the opposition described in this paper - one group of people blaming another - creates itself without anyone deliberately nurturing it, because we need to blame someone for all the bad things happening with us - and we find those victims no matter what.
Discussion
When analyzing media texts - especially those found on the Internet - one should always remember that they are to remain the subject of scrutiny and detailed study. Not only because the Internet is by no means a completely reliable source of information and is too free and easy to access to control anything within it, but also because sometimes these texts do not set informativeness and truthfulness as their primary goal - consciously or unconsciously. This study suggests that currently, during the COVID-19 pandemic which has changed people's perception of some of the aspects of their lives, there can be observed a very interesting phenomenon - while switching the blame from themselves to whatever group of people they might find, local Russian authorities created an enemy in the eyes of their residents - a person carrying and spreading the virus.
Implementing Greimass' method of analyzing media texts, the following observations were made:
1. Discourse level
On the discourse level, the following techniques were found to be implemented”
? simplification
? labeling
? repetition
? formalization
? creating of opposition
These techniques combined create a non-assertive yet powerful image, leading the local residents of Russian regions to believe that people who, for whatever reason, left the region to come back during the outbreak, can be a threat for them, their relatives and their loved ones.
2. Narrative level
A positive narrative about local authorities vs no evaluation of the opposite side's actions. People returned from abroad, other regions or Moscow are mentioned as the cause of infection without blaming them with emotional or evaluative vocabulary. It seems that the focal point of the narrative here is to show that local authorities are not to blame for the spread of the virus and they do everything they can to tame it - rather than to blame foreigners for the problem.
3. Deep level
Ultimately, the main enemy in the current Russian mass media narrative is the virus itself. Its rapid spreading and high mortality rate make people anxious and scared for their relatives and close ones. Thus, the underlying opposition here is “virus vs people”. However, considering the uncontrollable - to a certain extent - nature of the virus and its consequences, people turn their frustration to living objects - those who might spread the virus.
In conclusion, one might see that the enemy image creation, in this case, was not deliberate per se, but turned out to be extremely effective. Moreover, it is shown that as of today, the narrative has changed and the extent to which certain groups of people are blamed for the spread of Coronavirus in the regions is significantly lower - which happened arguably because of the overwhelming number of those infected every day, which can no longer be explained by the fact that these people left the region.
This study is seen as having perspectives for future research. The number of sociological polls conducted to explore the attitude of the residents of smaller Russian regions towards Muscovites is by no means exhaustive. Moreover, the methods implemented in this study can be extrapolated to other countries - e.g., Italy, where similar situation occurred.
