 Abstract. This paper focuses on the reconstruction of the actions carried out by the Russian military during the events of the Crimean Spring in 2014 as reported by publicistic sources and mainstream media outlets. The main goals of this research are to construct a chronological account of military activities occurring in February and March 2014 and to analize the characteristics of the used sources. Currently, the only available sources documenting the actions of the Russian military in the Crimean region during this time period are journalistic and media reports. Despite purporting to provide accurate depictions of the most significant military occurrences of the Crimean spring, these sources may require verification.
Keywords: Crimean Spring, «polite people», journalism, military history, media analysis
