Moskovsky Komsomolets covered anticipated AI discussions and relayed claims about US budget cuts. Several outlets repeated Maria Zakharova’s accusation that UNESCO excluded killed Russian journalists from its reports.
Across 367 articles from 13 outlets over the last 30 days, the UN was presented as neutral toward Russia in 351, hostile in 15 and friendly in one. Where roles were assigned, it was presented as ridiculed in 19 articles, a partner in seven, declining in seven, a threat in six and a victim in three.
Komsomolskaya Pravda and Life.ru each carried four articles presenting the UN as hostile to Russia. Their UNESCO reports differed: Komsomolskaya Pravda’s was rated hostile and ridiculing, while Life.ru’s was neutral and ridiculing. Vzglyad’s report cast UNESCO as a threat. Lenta.ru relayed Peter Ford’s claim that the UN had lost its ability to resolve major conflicts.
