| Summary: | This short note deals with the clash of ideologies and communication in the media under conditions of war, with reference to global and local phenomena. It covers the Russian-Ukrainian War and its reactions in Lithuania. The concept of the Russian world as a kind of ‘hard’ ideology is analysed. Thesis are as follows: 1 There is no society without any ideology that forms the identity of a community different from other communities. 2 The clash of ideologies leads to political conflict and war. 3 There are ‘soft’ and ‘hard’ ideologies; during war the ‘soft’ ideology turns into ‘hard’ and as a result the conflict increases. The commentary uses media reports as well as historical and philosophical analyses of the RussianUkrainian War. In conclusion, when analysing the Russian-Ukrainian War, it is possible to say that in the post-truth era European values are in direct conflict with a Russia-centred ideology. This juxtaposition of opposing value systems becomes a focal point for understanding the complexity of contemporary geopolitical conflicts. The research contributes to understanding of the complex dynamics between war, ideology, media, rhetoric, and the elusive nature of truth, and offers insights into the challenges of the coexistence of different ideologies in the modern era. |
