Antyrządowe protesty w Rosji oczami rosyjskich władz i kremlowskich mediów

The main aim of this paper is to present the basic assumptions of the Kremlinʼs narrative about anti-government actions that took place in Russia on 26th of March and 12th of June 2017. The author extracts and analyzes linguistic expressions which were regularly used in the statements of the Russian authorities and texts that were published in the Russian media in order to build the image of the internal opposition and its supporters as well as the demonstrations carried out by them. The analyzed material fits in the intensely conducted since 2012 discrediting of the opponents and critics of the current Russian authorities which in turn is one of the basic elements of the ideological offensive of the Kremlin whose main goal, according to the author, is to unite or maintain the unity of Russian society, thereby to prevent the “colour revolution” in Russia.
