Abstract: A playlist of over 300 songs to do with Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 is examined in an attempt to establish in what way, if any, it correlates with the opinion polls about the pro- and anti-invasion support levels in Russia and elsewhere. The list’s compilation, formatting and categorization principles are explained. Within each of the constituent song groups (anti-invasion Ukrainian, Russian and international, as well as pro-invasion Russian and Ukrainian), a brief general survey and a more detailed sample content analysis are carried out. The playlist in its entirety can be found in the video/discographical Appendix to the article.
