Russian media has paid an extreme attention to North Atlantic Alliance, thanks to the recent NATO summit in Vilnius. NATO has not only retained its first place in the ranking of most used terms in the Russian information space but also pulled ahead of its nearest pursuer (the counteroffensive of the Ukrainian army) by 3.5 times. The “Wagner” Private Military Company is mentioned less and less, but it maintains its third position. Defence and the Russian army shared fourth and fifth place in the reported week’s rating responsively.
The information space was analysed using a refined methodology based on monitoring 3200 Russian websites, telegram channels, YouTube channels, and significant accounts on VKontakte, Instagram and Facebook.
