Top 5 terms in Russian media for the week ( July 17-23, 2023)

Russia’s exit from the grain deal has sharply elevated this phrase to the top of the most mentioned terms in the Russian information space. The grain deal, which was previously on the periphery of the rating, took second place at the end of the week. First place has traditionally been taken by NATO. The Ukrainian counteroffensive dropped from the second to the third position. The Russian army occupied the fourth place, while terrorism, whose mention was related to another attack on the Crimean Bridge, took the fifth position.

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.
