Abstract
The aim of the article is to analyze the manipulative potential of the modern Italian-speaking media space in terms of creating a negative image of Russia as an international player. The sources of language material for the analysis are two authoritative Italian publications − Internazionale newspaper and Formiche.net Internet portal − characterized by the exclusively analytical content of articles and expert comments in the field of international relations and geopolitics, the authors of which are able to significantly influence the readership. The methodological apparatus includes a descriptive method and a method of semantic and syntactic analysis of linguistic units with a manipulative potential. From a pragmatic point of view, examples of evaluation predicates used by the Italian mass media to inform the reader about the actions of the Russian Federation are given. The article may be of interest to linguistic researchers dealing with romance studies, political linguistics, as well as to political scientists interested in Russian-Italian relations.

Особенно яркой представляется оценка для создания образа России-агрессора при описании внешнеполитического курса Российской Федерации, что становится возможным за счёт всё более утончённой конкурентной борьбы за потребителя информационных услуг в контексте современного медиапространства
Summary
The aim of the article is to analyze the manipulative potential of the modern Italian-speaking media space in terms of creating a negative image of Russia as an international player. Что по критерию коммуникативной направленности можно выделять регулятивную оценку, то есть то выражение, где оценка не вуалируется говорящим, а напротив, высказывается открыто, ярко, подчёркивая его позицию по тому или иному вопросу; говорящий как бы противопоставляет себя адресату (идёт “в атаку”, “испытывает” адресата на предмет согласия или несогласия со своей оценкой).
