Rallying or Normalizing? War and Sanctions
in Putin's Russia
Abstract:
Much of th
e existing literature on the Western sanctions imposed on Russia assumes t
hat they triggered a rally-around-the-flag effect in support of Russia’s g
overnment and its war in Ukraine\, yet there is little actual research on
the way sanctions are presented for public consumption in Russia. Drawing
from a content analysis of Russian broadcast transcripts from the state-ru
n First Channel throughout 2022-2025\, this paper argues that the Kremlin
seeks to normalize war and sanctions rather than rallying support. The ana
lysis bridges between the existing research on rallying effects and autocr
atic legitimation\, centering on the ways that normalizing sanctions works
: by extending time horizons for evaluations of the performance of Russia'
s government in coping with sanctions\, diminishing popular expectations f
or sanctions relief through nationalist portrayals of the West\, and portr
aying Russia's targeting by Western sanctions as part of a common and endu
ring global malaise.
