The present study explores discursive constructions of us-and them-groups within the context of the debates on the placement of the US anti-ballistic missile defence system in Central and Eastern Europe. The study is based on the data collected by the authors in the Polish and Russian press (2008-2009). Using the framework that is informed by Critical Discourse Analysis and Membership Categorization Analysis, the authors define strategies and specific linguistic means used to represent 'us' and 'them' and provide a picture of chronological transformations that these representations undergo in the investigated newspapers.
