Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelens′kyi’s communication skills have proven to be a powerful weapon against Russia’s disinformation war towards Ukraine. When Russia launched its full-scale military invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, he began recording daily messages to Ukrainian society and reaching out to international audiences through live addresses. This paper analyzes Zelens′kyi’s speeches during the first 50 days of the intensified war. It examines the agenda-setting and framing methods, honed by his television experience, that he used to reach audiences, as well as their content. It suggests that these speeches made Ukraine’s narrative dominant in international media, dispersing the information fog Russia was trying to create whereby Ukraine needed to be “de-Nazified,” neutralized, and kept in Russia’s sphere of influence. They also helped consolidate Ukrainian society and strengthen international assistance.
Russian rockets are targeting Ukrainian journalists’ ability to report the news, but the country’s media is finding new ways to stay on the air.

Abstract: This paper reframes conventional views of Ukraine by showing how global trends of cultural and media convergence are influencing its identity. It looks at how the country's media system developed after independence, particularly television, and how this reveals the ongoing struggle to define what it means to be Ukrainian. Media representations illustrate that three visions coexist: a cosmopolitan, pro-Western one which embraces the forces of globalization; a residual Soviet Ukrainian one that is open to change but has a strong cultural affinity to Russia; and a new/ old Ukrainian identity that draws on deep-rooted local (national) values, which coincide with universal ones such as democracy, with a contemporary flavor and without a Russian dimension. It argues that despite certain unique features caused by "the Russia factor," the new/old country is also being strongly influenced by globalization through mass media, and is part of larger worldwide trends wher...

Theofil Kis, Irena Makaryk and Natalie Mychajlyszyn with Irena Bell, eds. Towards a New Ukraine III. Geopolitical Imperatives of Ukraine: Regional Contexts. Ottawa: Chair of Ukrainian Studies, 2001.Before the Chair of Ukrainian Studies at the University of Ottawa had a Chair-holder, the Chair committee organized a series of conferences on Ukraine. These conferences created an academic forum in Canada for discussing Ukraine, a country which became quite fashionable to study in the 1990s. This book takes the title of the third such conference, which was held in Ottawa in October 2000, and is a published version of papers presented there. It is interesting to re-read papers written about Ukraine in 2000 a few years later, especially after the Orange Revolution, since they provide a scholarly reference point from which to assess what has changed and what has not.The collection follows the structure of the conference, opening with a "Keynote Address" by Stephen Shulman, and con...

Ukraine’s media system has drastically changed in recent years, but like the rest of the country it is still a work in progress with many hurdles to overcome.

Revolution, annexation, war, and economic crisis make for difficult conditions for media to operate in. This is the reality Ukraine’s journalists have been working in for the past two years. Needless to say, these challenging conditions have had a mixed impact on the country’s media landscape. The main change worth noting is that state censorship has largely disappeared and new projects continue to thrive. However, the overall structure of the media system has changed little.

Книжка «Нариси новітньої історії України» — це спроба міжнародної групи на- уковців, зібраних Інститутом Кеннана при Міжнародну науковому центрі імені Вудро Вільсона (Вашингтон, США), описати та проаналізувати колективний до- свід сучасних українців, якого вони набули за останні тридцять років. У дев’яти розділах книги автори — вчені з українських, американських, британських, єв- ропейських і канадських університетів досліджують, як поставала незалежна дер- жава, виникали й розв’язувалися політичні кризи, формувався приватний сектор та енергетика, перевинаходилися багатство й бідність, розвивалися вільні ЗМІ та сучасне мистецтво, виникав новий релігійний досвід, а також еволюціонували на- ціональна ідентичність і демократичний лад в Україні. Написана з різних дослід- ницьких та ідеологічних позицій, ця історія дозволяє побачити багатство й трагіч- ність розмаїтого досвіду сучасної України.

This book is devoted to the first 22 years of independent Ukraine. The papers were written before november 2013, they reflect the situation and the opinions of the authors of the Yanukovych era, before Majdan. The events of 2013–2014 indicate that in the 23 years of independence (1991–2013) deep changes occurred in Ukrainian society. The fluidity of the situation condemns any answer to remain tentative and to be contradicted by the facts of the next day.

Ukraine was all over the international headlines from the end of 2013 through summer
2014. The fast changing, complex story was usually narrated through rather simple
frames and the greatest attention was devoted to issues with international significance.
As the war in eastern Ukraine became protracted and Russia showed no signs of
reversing its annexation of Crimea, the story began slipping from the international
news.
