В качестве теоретической основы исследования выступили современные подходы к интерпретации тенденций персонификации власти, выражающиеся в том, что личные качества политических лидеров, такие как харизма, искренность и способность к эмпатии, стали играть центральную роль в формировании доверия и лояльности граждан. Авторы также исходят из того, что в условиях медиацентрированной политики образ политика в СМИ стал ключевым маркером его легитимности. Поскольку скандалы в политике обеспечивают высокий уровень вовлеченности и интереса аудитории, они являются одним из наиболее ярких и влиятельных проявлений медиатизации политической фигуры.</p><p>Источниковую базу исследования составили новостная информация ключевых 14 интернет-изданий современной России за период с 13.07.2023 по 13.07.2024. С помощью большой языковой модели (LLM) и количественных методов анализа данных – дается систематизация политических скандалов - анализируется их хронологическое и географическое распределение, интенсивность, а также вовлеченность различных должностных лиц. Отмечается, что центральное место в медийной повестке современной России занимают коррупционные скандалы. Обращается внимание на то, что медийные лица, такие как журналисты, инфлюенсеры и политические комментаторы, играют важную роль в агрегации и распространении скандалов, усиливая их влияние на общественное мнение и политическую стабильность. Определяются ключевые агрегаторы (медиа и инфлюенсеры) политических скандалов в современной России. Исследование подчеркивает, что политические скандалы выступают в качестве критического механизма, посредством которого общество оценивает своих руководителей, что делает их важным элементом современной политической жизни в России.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The article provides a systematization of political scandals in contempo- rary Russia. The study embraces modern approaches to the interpretation of trends in the personification of power expressing that the personal qualities of political leaders, such as charisma, sincerity and the ability to empathize, play a central role in shaping the trust and loyalty of citizens. The authors state that in the context of media-centered politics, the image of a politician in the media has become a key marker of his/her legitimacy. Since scandals in politics provide a high level of involvement and interest of the audience, they are one of the most striking and influential manifestations of the mediatization of a political figure.</p><p>The source base of the study was news information from 14 key online publications of modern Russia for the period from 07/13/2023 to 07/13/2024. Using a large language model (LLM) and quantitative data analysis methods, the article systematizes po- litical scandals by analyzing their chronological and geographical distribution, intensity, and the involvement of various officials. It is noted that corruption scandals occupy a central place in the media agenda of contemporary Russia. Attention is drawn to the fact that media personalities such as journalists, influencers, and political commentators play an important role in the aggregation and dissemination of scandals, enhancing their impact on public opinion and political stability. Key aggregators of political scandals in modern Russia are identified. The study emphasizes that political scandals are a critical mecha- nism through which society evaluates its leaders, which makes them an important element of political life in today’s Russia.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>политический скандал</kwd><kwd>персонификация власти</kwd><kwd>легитимность</kwd><kwd>персональная легитимность</kwd><kwd>новые медиа</kwd><kwd>медиатизация</kwd><kwd>интернет-СМИ</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>political scandal</kwd><kwd>personification of power</kwd><kwd>legitimacy</kwd><kwd>personal legitimacy</kwd><kwd>new media</kwd><kwd>mediatization</kwd><kwd>online media</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group xml:lang="ru"><funding-statement>Исследование выполнено при финансовой поддержке Российского научного фонда (проект «Конфликт легитимностей: идеология, структура и личность в представлении российских граждан», № 24-28-00963)</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Ефанов А.А.
