Iokhim, A. N. Peculiarities of the Creation
of the External Political Discourse
(The Case Study of Russia’s Policy
in 2008 – 2010)
Abstract:
The article is devoted to the analysis of the discourse of external policy of Russia in 2008 – 2010. Such a
period has been chosen on purpose. In 2008 a new head of Russia and the Russian government was elected. Based
on the example of conceptual changes in the ‘language of power’ during the fi rst half of Dmitry Medvedev’s presidential
term, the author describes discursive technologies of succession and transformation of the orientation of the
country’s policy. The discursive approach to politics allows to reveal the semiotic potential of the political language
in relation to construction of the socio-political reality. By interpreting the key concepts and using particular strategies
in the discursive practice, the discourse creates a collective identity and has an impact on the global agenda.
As the research methodology the author has used instruments of the critical discourse analysis and multi-parameter
modeling of the political discourse offered by E. Kozhemyakin and E. Pereverzev. The results of the analysis allow
to defi ne the key strategies of the orientation of the Russian external political discourse. These strategies are
expressed in using techniques of the positive self-representation and a negative image of the Other as well as dominating
stereotypes based on the ‘Us’/ ‘Them’ dichotomy. Based on his research the author makes a conclusion that
the repeated articulation of the main concepts in the Russian external rhetoric of 2008 – 2010 allowed to guarantee
the succession and continuity of the orientation of political policy.
Keywords:
External policy of Russia, external political discourse, concept, Medvedev, Putin, Ukraine, points of intersection, stereotype, ‘language of power’, identity.
