popular support and sustain contentious collective action. Using
the case of a Peace March held in Moscow on 21 September 2014,
the article examines how antiwar activists and their opponents
framed a protest against Russia’s intervention in Ukraine. The
study argues that different interpretations of patriotism underpinned
divergent evaluations of the conflict and the construction
of opposing identities. An analysis of Twitter posts on the eve of
the march shows that peace activists positioned themselves as
citizens with high moral standards and a healthy dose of patriotism,
criticized the Russian government for military intervention in
Ukraine, and called for a peaceful conflict resolution. In turn,
opponents of the march considered themselves as real patriots
and their adversaries as national traitors, denied Russia’s military
presence in Ukraine, and fomented an attack on critics of Russian
foreign policy. The study contributes to social movement literature
by analyzing the framing of antiwar activism on a social media
platform in the midst of a hybrid war, marked by a great deal of
ambiguity and deception about causes, dynamics, and consequences
of military operations by state and non-state actors.
