Every ideology aims at constructing specific representations of reality that many people can easily adopt. In this paper, mental models described as cognitive representations of reality are used to explain how people come to their beliefs. Applying Johnson-Laird’s theoretical concept, I present mental models reconstructed by means of a qualitative analysis of key lexemes in the Crimean speech of Vladimir Putin held in 2014. This reconstruction reveals how the mental models in question target a shared social cognition among listeners using ideologically loaded references articulated in the speech. Furthermore, tracing ideological references allows a preliminary insight into how the speaker aims to affect the discourse formation process of the time. This reconstruction is indispensable to gain a better understanding of the Russian attack on Ukraine, eight years later.

普京战争的基础

每种意识形态都旨在构建许多人可以轻松采用的现实的具体表征。在本文中，被描述为现实认知表征的心理模型被用来解释人们如何形成自己的信念。应用约翰逊-莱尔德的理论概念，我提出了通过对弗拉基米尔·普京 2014 年克里米亚演讲中的关键词位进行定性分析而重建的心智模型。这种重建揭示了所讨论的心智模型如何利用意识形态来针对听众之间的共同社会认知加载演讲中阐述的参考文献。此外，追踪意识形态参考可以初步了解说话者旨在如何影响当时的话语形成过程。为了更好地了解八年后俄罗斯对乌克兰的袭击，这种重建是必不可少的。
