Abstract [en]

Over the last few years, Vladimir Putin's speeches have captured the attention of many. Particularly concerning Vladimir Putin's speeches and remarks about the neighboring country of Kazakhstan. This analysis gives a detailed breakdown of discourse and meaning of words and expressions, translated from Russian language, to evaluate the authority andintricacies it entails. What Putin says matters, as he is one of the prominent leaders of modern times. There is a need for a deep understanding of the impact his words hold for broader audiences. The ideology and power dynamics constructed in Vladimir Putin's speeches and statements from 2014 to 2024, were investigated by employing Norman Fairclough's three-dimensional analytical framework, critical discourse analysis uncovers the imperialistic tendencies in Putin's speech through the postcolonial lens. Additional material was supplemented by instances of Putin's habitual mispronounciation of the Kazakh Presidents name, and various statements from the narratives of Russian public regarding Kazakhstan. The selected speeches determine and highlight the discriminatory rhetoric in Putin's speeches, which he resorts to more than once. This thesis concludes by unraveling the power dynamics found in the speeches of Vladimir Putin.
