Overview

Comparative analysis reveals discrepancies between the media image of Moscow and linguistic consciousness of Russians, suggesting implications for tourism marketing.

Key Points

  • An idealized image of Moscow constructed in media texts emphasizes historical and cultural features, contrasting with everyday experiences perceived by Russians.
  • Media texts focus on uniqueness and attractiveness for tourists, while Russians’ perceptions center around urban life aspects like size, mood, and comfort.
  • The analysis involved 223 lexical items from tourist agencies and 217 responses from informants across various Russian regions.
  • The findings indicate minimal overlap between the media representation of Moscow and the authentic perceptions held by its residents.
