The Arab Spring started in Tunisia after Muhammad Bouazizi, a 26-year-old university graduate, set himself on fire on December 17, 2010. The demonstrations started in Tunisia later spread to other North African and Middle Eastern countries, including Egypt, Yemen, Bahrain, Libya, and Syria. The political stand of Russia concerning the countries experiencing the Arab Spring such as Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, Bahrain, and Libya, has been close to the line of Western states. In Syria, Russia was involved in the crisis militarily by taking the side of the Syrian government. Arab Spring events in the Russian press have been subject to a larger-scale approach, contrary to the state’s official position. In this article, the approach of the Russian press to Arab Spring events is examined.
