“…The book analyzes Russia's practice of normative use of the right to self-determination in the post-Soviet space from the perspectives of sovereignty, secession, and annexation. There are also studies that focus on the path of how Russia legitimized its intervention in the neighboring conflicts from the perspective of normative discourse (Rotaru & Troncotă, 2017). It is argued that Russia's attitude towards the unrecognized entities in question is not based on a denial of sovereignty, but rather on a utilitarian and selective application of the relevant norms (Riegl & Doboš, 2018).…”

India-Israel ties follow an interesting trajectory. From India's refusal to the partition plan of historic Palestine to carve a separate Jewish state in 1948 to the very close bonds that now define bilateral ties, the relationship has come a long way. The recent Hamas-Israel war has put the spotlight on the India-Israel bilateral relationship. India, which while since 1948 had a decidedly pro-Palestinian approach, has also over the decades been cultivating strong and close ties with Israel. These ties have most specifically flourished in defense, but are not restricted to it. Following the October 7, 2023 attacks by Palestinian militant group Hamas on Israel, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, as did many Western leaders, immediately condemned the Hamas attack and later reiterated that the "people of India stand firmly with Israel in this difficult hour." This pronouncement immediately sparked outraged commentaries, on New Delhi's approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Charges were leveled against Modi for a "muscular" foreign and domestic policy, in a bid to emulate Israel's tactics in the Palestinian Territories, based on a shared "Islamophobia" of Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the ruling Likud party in Israel. This paper will attempt to unpack India's evolving relationship with Israel and outline factors driving this relationship and whether these have eroded India's long-standing position on the Palestinian cause.

“…Similarly, Suslov (2014) has drawn attention to the development of two distinctive narratives, the sacralization and the geopolitization of Crimea, which legitimized the annexation. Another central study is Rotaru and Troncotă’s (2017) discussion that the legitimization was based on policy narratives centered around the Kosovo precedent, an argument Putin articulated in his 2014 address. Although such studies add a new dimension in legitimizing the annexation by offering different discursive renditions, there is still a range of discursive elements, which play a central role in understanding the legitimization and which have not been discussed in the literature.…”

This article proposes the analysis of synthetic personalization as a new approach in studying and understanding the legitimization of the Crimean annexation. Drawing upon Norman Fairclough, synthetic personalization is a discursive strategy that identifies how aspects of language, which are regarded as commonsensical and normal, have ideological power, as they can become manipulative and controlling. The application of synthetic personalization to the March 2014 address of Russian President Vladimir Putin draws the audience’s attention to traits that unify the masses and thus stimulate their individual features, in particular by relying on presuppositions. The article argues that the address legitimized the annexation of Crimea by framing the annexation as a result of a religious, military, and heterogeneous unity, which unified Crimea and Russia. The findings also question the impact of the one-sided production process and who is the actual producer of the address.
