Russian Public Opinion and Yugoslavian Crisis: Parallels between the Beginning and the End of the 20th Century

Examining the coverage, by Russian press, of the, actually, two Balkan wars, the one in the beginning, the other by the end of the past century, the author reconstructs and analyzes the attitudes of different groups of Russian society towards the Balkan war of 1912, and towards the bombings of some Yugoslav territories by the NATO peacemakers by way of attempted settling of the aggravated conflict in Kosovo in the 1990s, and, in so doing, draws analogies.
