    Representation of Russian women in Turkish press
    (İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi, 2022) Dim, Kardem; Yücel, Alev
    ABSTRACT: The research topic is “representation of Russian women in Turkish press” and how different representations of Russian women are related to one another in terms of integration. The question of the research is how the Russian women immigrants in Turkey are represented by the Turkish press. Since the beginning of 1990s, Russian women immigrants have come to work in Turkey and many of them live permanently in Turkey. Therefore, some stereotypes and prejudices about Russian women have been created in the course of time. The primary stereotype about Russian women is “Natasha” stereotype which is a slang and a vulgar word used to describe a woman who is involved in prostitution and who comes from Post-Soviet countries, especially from Russia and Ukraine. It is unfair to label every Russian woman as “Natasha” since it is a stereotype created against Russian women. On the other hand, there are many Russian migrant women in Turkey whom are married to Turkish men and the word “Russian bride” became a popular phrase since marriages between Russian women and Turkish men have become prevalent. Because of this, how Russian women are represented in the media is a significant question, since their representation may have a hindering or supporting influence on integration. Throughout the study, theories from several scholarly articles will be compared and discussed in order to provide a clear understanding of how representation of migrants and foreigners in the press affects integration. In this study, how Russian women are represented in Turkish press and how their representations have a hindering or supporting influence on integration will be revealed and elaborated by analysing five Turkish newspapers (online) which are Evrensel, Sözcü, Hürriyet, Sabah, and Yeni Akit. The scholarly articles’ theories about integration and media representation of immigrants will be revealed. In addition to these, marriages among Russian women and Turkish men will be discussed and analyzed in the context of “cross-cultural marriages,” “adaptation to a different culture” and “being a Russian bride in Turkey.” In the end of the study, there will be a conclusion which summarizes the overall topic, including the research question and by considering the qualitative analysis of five Turkish newspapers (which are Evrensel, Sözcü, Hürriyet, Sabah and Yeni Akit), a clear result for the research will be drawn. Keywords will be mentioned in the study.
