The article concludes that the tours were initiated by Russian state and state-affiliated actors who exported military-patriotic symbols and perspectives across the border to Norway, and actively promoted several intertwined narratives; about joint Russian-Norwegian heroic war history; about historically peaceful relations in the North between Norway and Russia; and about Norway as a friendly Nato-member neighbor that rightfully honors the memory of the Soviet army and its crucial role in the victory over Nazi Germany. After Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014, these narratives were supplemented by Russian claims about a contemporary fascist threat spreading from Ukraine and the Baltics. The statements emphasized the acute importance of the patriotic memory tours to resist allegedly growing neo-fascism in today’s Europe. The article argues that the narrative staging of the tours must be read in the context of the Kremlin’s ongoing memory wars with former Soviet republics and Eastern bloc states and Russia’s military aggression in Ukraine since 2014.","PeriodicalId":88615,"journal":{"name":"Nordisk ost-forum","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68916673","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis shows that two diametrically different framings, apparent through word choice, aspects of the visit that were covered, and the participants and experts interviewed. Four newspapers, and in particular two belonging to television channels that had been banned by the Ukrainian authorities earlier that year, adopted a negative framing of the visit. Consistent themes in these two newspapers’ articles were claims that the Ukrainian Orthodox Church with ties to the Moscow Patriarchate was the only canonical church, that the visit would exacerbate the persecution of that church’s believers and the occupation of their church buildings, and that there were mass demonstrations against the visit. The other newspapers in the material had a more positive framing, and described Bartholomew, his visit to Ukraine, and the independent Orthodox Church of Ukraine in neutral or positive terms. In conclusion, I argue that Russia’s full invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 has had a profound impact on religious and media pluralism in Ukraine, and therefore, the analysis represents a glimpse into a bygone era.","PeriodicalId":88615,"journal":{"name":"Nordisk ost-forum","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49655617","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
