    Annotation The current paper is dedicated to studying the mechanisms of manipulation and propaganda in English-language mass media, with a focus on the process of creating myths about Russia through news articles in the Online media. The main goal of the study was to identify the general dynamics of representation of Russia in the international mass media, determine the characteristic of stereotyping and myth-making, analyze the methods of creating the image of the country. We have studied the articles of “Middle East Eye”, an independent media source led “by events, not political leaning” [1], and “Spiegel Online International”, an online version of a German media translated into the English language [2]. Through the methods of content analysis of media articles (quantitative and qualitative), monitoring of the content representing Russia, structural analysis of the content, lexico-stylistic analysis, comparative analysis it had been ascertained that during the period of the research, the studied mass media tended to create negative images of Russia with great frequency, use labeling and mythmaking methods in their articles to present the country and its key personalities as enemies. Current study covers journalistic texts published during the period from the beginning of 2015 year to the May, 2018, which made it possible to see the dynamics of the myths about Russia and determine how the tone and volume of coverage of the country transform through this period under political, economic, social events across the world.
