JOURNAL OF SOVIET AND POST-SOVIET POLITICS AND ...

Western academics  experts  and journalists specializing in Eastern Europe and Eurasia have
grappled with two fundamental analytical crises in connection with the 1991 disintegration of
the USSR and Russia's 2014 invasion of Ukraine. Both crises were brought about by similar lack
of understanding by scholars  think tank experts  and journalists of Moscow's relations with
its neighbors. Typically  they were characterized by a downplaying of the historic and current
role of Russian great power nationalism.The authors of this issue of JSPPS investigate how the
Kremlin's recent turbo-charging of Russia's information warfare  24-hour TV  and social media
activity has expanded on traditional pro-Russian sentiments among Western academics  experts 
and journalists. The contributors analyze the downplaying of Russian nationalism 
misinterpretations of the 2014 crisis  sympathetic portrayals of Crimea's occupation  and the
use of the term civil war rather than Russian-Ukrainian war for the Donbas conflict in academia
as well as the think tank world and media in the UK  Germany  Poland  Japan  USA  and
Canada.The list of contributors includes: Olga Bertelsen (Tiffin University  Ohio)  Paul
D'Anieri (University of California at Riverside)  Sanshiro Hosaka (University of Tartu)  Andrei
Znamenski (University of Memphis  Tennessee)  and Sergei I. Zhuk (Ball State University
