This article examines and exposes substantial fragments of the crucial for the Russian autocracy discursive formation that hegemonically produces disempowered identities and relationships, inactive social practice and representations for ordinary Russian people. Employing a multi-sited critical discourse analysis of a school textbook, TV coverage of protests, and an annual press-conference with Vladimir Putin, this study looks at the contexts, representations and identities constructed via interrelated means of power, participation and change. The analysis shows how the state perpetually and diversely propagates via the discourse of non-participation a necessity to leave the matter of the social change to those in power. As a result, non-participation represents both the politically intentional absence of participatory practices among citizens, and forms of ‘participation’ suggested and mediated by the state. Overall, the study illustrates the suppressive ideological work that the Russian state performs exploiting various communication channels, institutions, and social domains to sustain the hegemonic domination over its citizens.

本文研究并揭露了对俄罗斯专制话语形成至关重要的重要片段，这些片段霸权地产生了无权的身份和关系，不活跃的社会实践和对普通俄罗斯人民的代表。通过对学校教科书进行多地点批判性话语分析，抗议的电视报道以及与弗拉基米尔·普京（Vladimir Putin）举行的年度新闻发布会，本研究研究了通过相互关联的力量，参与和变化手段构建的背景，表征和身份。分析表明，国家如何通过不参与的话语永久性地和多样化地传播，这是将社会变革问题留给当权者的必要性。结果，不参与既代表着公民在政治上缺乏参与实践，以及国家提出和调解的“参与”形式。总体而言，该研究说明了俄罗斯国家利用各种沟通渠道，机构和社会领域来维持其公民霸权统治的压制性思想工作。
