Обозначить типы пропаганды, используемые основными западными средствами массовой информации до начала Специальной военной операции России, начатой 24 февраля 2022 г.Процедура и методы. Автор использовал научные источники, посвящённые применению пропаганды, а также подходы средств массовой информации к освещению вооружённых конфликтов. Был проведён критический анализ материалов по данной теме из средств массовой информации за период с ноября 2021 г. по февраль 2022 г. Его результаты позволили выявить идеализированную иерархию в международных отношениях, которую основные западные средства массовой информации используют в своих сообщениях.Результаты. Результаты данного индикативного исследования показывают, что основные западные средства массовой информации вовлечены в текущие глобальные геополитические трансформационные процессы (переход от однополярности к многополярности), а также указывается, что проамериканские западные державы предпринимают попытки противодействовать подъёму государств, бросивших вызов этой системе, с целью уменьшения их влияния; и таким образом сохранить гегемонию США.Теоретическая и/или практическая значимость. Применяя пропагандистские методы в сфере международных отношений, новые средства массовой информации играют ключевую роль в попытках манипулирования умами разных слоев общества. И, скорее всего, в будущем эта тенденция будет усиливаться. Основной причиной этого является усиление геополитической напряжённости, результатом которого являются изменения в глобальном миропорядке. В данной статье украинский «кризис» 2020-21 гг. и нарратив западных средств массовой информации о «неизбежном» вторжении России будут использованы в качестве иллюстрации того, как формулируются пропагандистские высказывания для создания эффекта противодействия Российскому влиянию и интересам.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>Aim. The aim of this article is to identify the types of mass mediated propaganda in Western mainstream media sources before the Special Military Operation began on 24 February 2022. Methodology. The author used academic literature on propaganda use, and mass media approaches to covering armed conflicts. A critical analysis of mass mediated materials of the topic, in the period from November 2021 until February 2022, was used to derive the communicated and signalled idealised hierarchies in international relations by Western mainstream media sources.Results. The results of this indicative study suggest that Western mainstream media are engaged in the current global geopolitics of transformation (from Unipolar to Multipolar order), and there is an attempt by the US-led Western powers to obstruct the rise of challenging powers and their influence and hence to preserve US hegemony. Research implications. New mass media is playing a crucial role in attempting to manipulate the minds of different publics with the use of propaganda in the field of international relations. This trend is likely to continue to increase in the future. The underlying reason for this is the increase in geopolitical tensions resulting from a transformation in the global order. In this article, the 2020-21 Ukraine ‘crisis’ and the Western media’s narrative of the ‘imminent’ Russian invasion shall be used to illustrate how the propaganda is formulated for the effect of obstructing Russian interests and influence. </p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>пропаганда</kwd><kwd>конфликт</kwd><kwd>Украина</kwd><kwd>Россия</kwd><kwd>США</kwd><kwd>манипуляции</kwd><kwd>средства массовой информации</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>propaganda</kwd><kwd>conflict</kwd><kwd>Ukraine</kwd><kwd>Russia</kwd><kwd>United States</kwd><kwd>manipulation</kwd><kwd>mass media</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Boyd-Barrett O.
