Viral journalism. Strategy, tactics and limitations of the fast spread of content on social media
Journalism has been under much strain in the recent decades. It has had to adapt to the changing rhythms of media consumption as much as to the benevolence of social media networks that constantly change algorithms of how journalism is displayed. At the same time, viral communication of all sorts – from memes to GIFs and widespread amateur entertaining videos – is seen by millions. The purpose of this article is to examine the effort of online jo…
Internet Memes and Society
This book provides a solid, encompassing definition of Internet memes, exploring both the common features of memes around the globe and their particular regional traits. It identifies and explains the roles that these viral texts play in Internet communication: cultural, social and political implications; significance for self-representation and identity formation; promotion of alternative opinion or trending interpretation; and subversive and re…

A Comparative Cyberconflict Analysis of Digital Activism Across Post-Soviet Countries
This article analyses digital activism comparatively in relation to three Post-Soviet regions: Russian/anti-Russian in Crimea and online political deliberation in Belarus, in juxtaposition to Estonia’s digital governance approach. The authors show that in civil societies in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, cultural forms of digital activism, such as internet memes, thrive and produce and reproduce effective forms of political deliberation. In contras…
A case study of the UK and Russia’s approaches to Syrian refugees
In 2015, the United Kingdom recognised 85% of asylum seekers from Syria as refugees, whereas Russia granted this form of protection to only 0.2% of those fleeing Syria. This research is an attempt to look into this dilemma: why did two countries, both signatories of the 1951 Geneva Convention, treat people in similar situations in such drastically different ways? The study of these two meaningfully contrasting cases argues that such factors as a …
Democracy, protest and public sphere in Russia after the 2011–2012 anti-government protests
The 2011–2012 Russian protest mobilisations were largely enabled by the rise of social networks. Social and technological advancements paired to pave the way for the ‘biggest protests since the fall of USSR’. Ubiquitous and uncensored social media facilitated the networking and mobilisation for this protest activity: Liberal masses were able to share and discuss their grievances, unite and coordinate online for the offline protest. The digitally …
