MEDIA ANALYSIS OF RIGHTS VIOLATIONS RUSSIAN COMPATRIOTS IN THE CIS COUNTRIES

Abstract

This article is devoted to the analysis of the media space of the CIS countries in order to identify the facts of violations of the rights of Russian compatriots. The paper examines the representation of diaspora issues in regional and federal media, as well as specific examples of infringement of the rights of compatriots. Russian Russian language teaching in schools, the dismantling of monuments dedicated to the heroes of the Great Patriotic War, and the falsification of historical memory in school textbooks have been identified as trends related to the restriction of the use of the Russian language in public life and education. Special attention is paid to the analysis of cases of Russophobia and discrimination based on nationality that have received media coverage. The results of the study allow us to conclude that there are systemic problems related to the observance of the rights of Russian compatriots in the post-Soviet space, and emphasize the need for active monitoring and response to such violations by both government and public organizations. The article is intended for the scientific community, experts in the field of international relations, protection of human rights and cultural heritage.
