ТOP-5 surnames in Russian media for a week (May 8-14, 2023).

Russian information space is characterised specifically in its extreme attention to foreign policy. The presence of Volodymyr Zelensky and Joe Biden in the top five most mentioned persons is explained by attempts of state propaganda to present the "SMO" as a confrontation not only with Ukraine but also with the entire Western world. Dmitry Peskov's fourth position is due to his activity as the main official spokesperson and interpreter of the Kremlin's position. Yevgeny Prigozhin continues to be in the media spotlight due to his ongoing public altercations with the leadership of the Russian Ministry of Defence.

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.
