Dark Double
«Andrei Tsygankov is a prolific analyst of Russian foreign policy. Here, he turns his attention to the role of U.S. media and its coverage of issues relating to Russia ... He takes a constructivist approach, focusing on values and identities, rather than interests, seeking to demonstrate how the relationship between these two former Cold War adversaries is shaped, by examining U.S. news print media coverage of Russia.»

mainstream US newspapers and other media sources, Tsygankov identifies five media narratives involving Russia since the Cold War's end and studies them through a framework of three inter-related factors: historic and cultural differences between the two countries, inter-state competition, and polarizing
domestic politics. He shows how Americans' negative views toward Russia draw from a deep wellspring of suspicion and are further enhanced by a biased media that regularly exploits such negativity, Russia's centralization of power and anti-American attitudes. Given the intensity of our current impasse with Russia, Dark Double represents an important intervention that forces us to think about the sources of conflict in a new way.
