Abstract

Modern international relations are undergoing tectonic changes, which are indirected by the influence of the development of information technologies. Modern relations between large countries largely depend on the information coverage of actions of these countries. Moreover, the mass media have a direct impact on the formation of public opinion and media discourse, which in Russian media is crowded with Russian-American cluster of information confrontation. This article highlights the problems of the impact of the information confrontation between Russia and the United States on the media discourse situation in the Russian public. The article attempts to theoretically comprehend the methods of presenting the issues of information confrontation by the Russian media, the techniques and methods used in this case. During the study, great importance was attached to the content analysis of the Russian media, the analysis of word-indicators and the detection of techniques used by the Russian press. The results of the study consist in the statement of the paramount importance of information confrontation between the States and the fact that the problem of information counteraction with the United States occupies an important place in the Russian media discourse.
