The image of Russian art culture in the American media (using the example of The New York times)

this study focuses on the analysis of how Russian artistic culture is represented in the English-speaking media, using the example of articles from The New York Times. The aim of this work is to identify the characteristics of the formation of the image of Russian art in the English media. The theoretical basis for this analysis is based on linguistic and philosophical approaches to studying the image as a mental and symbolic concept that shapes the perception of culture. We pay special attention to the works of I.V. Arnold, A.D. Makarov, Y.M. Kizer, E.B. Borisov, M.A. Lazareva, and I.N. Ziganshina, who view the image as a complex cognitive, semantic, and symbolic structure arising from the interpretation of cultural phenomena. Our empirical basis consists of English-language articles from The New York Times that discuss Russian art. The image in the given context is understood as a mental representation of reality, shaped through the meaningful interaction between the author and the surrounding world. The study has shown that the image of Russian culture in American media is a complex construct that combines an appreciation for cultural heritage with a sense of distance.
