“…The three debates were selected because these policy issues have been subject to large and intense public debates in Moscow. Studies on Moscow's policymaking have identified these three issues as the most salient and contentious under the Sobyanin administration (Albert et al, 2020; Argenbright, 2016; Büdenbender & Zupan, 2017; Chmel et al, 2020; Mirzoev, 2017; Muleev & Blinkin, 2016; Pupkova & Shevtsov, 2019; Uldanov, 2019). The analysis of multiple cases in the same context allows us to explore to what extent narrative strategies of the same actors vary in debates on different policy issues.…”

“…Private transport was not widespread in the Soviet Union. The tremendous increase in the number of private cars in the 1990s led to an overstrained road infrastructure (Muleev & Blinkin, 2016; Uldanov, 2019). The city government reacted in 2011 with a new transport strategy that included the introduction of paid parking and car‐sharing services, the improvement of road infrastructure, and, most importantly, large investments in public transport—such as the procurement of new buses and the construction of new metro and suburban train lines (Government Moscow, 2011; Uldanov, 2019).…”

“…Empirically, we analyze narratives used in debates around three urban policy issues in Moscow—a housing renovation program, public transport reforms, and waste management policy. These three issues were selected because they represent the most salient and contentious issues in Moscow's policymaking in recent years (Argenbright, 2016; Büdenbender & Zupan, 2017; Chmel et al, 2020; Mirzoev, 2017; Muleev & Blinkin, 2016; Pupkova & Shevtsov, 2019; Uldanov, 2019). An analysis of multiple cases in the same context also allows us to explore differences in the deployment of narrative strategies and to examine how particular policy domains may influence the extent of narrative strategies.…”

The Narrative Policy Framework (NPF) explains the role of narratives in policy processes. The NPF was developed for democratic contexts and has not been systematically applied in a nondemocratic setting. This study fills this gap with an empirical analysis of narrative strategies used by governmental and oppositional actors in urban policy debates in Moscow. Results show how governmental actors consistently use angel shifts, contain issues, and avoid using causal mechanisms, while actors opposing governmental policy use devil shifts, expand issues, and use intentional causal mechanisms. The findings suggest that narrative strategies differ depending on whether policy actors seek to promote policy reforms or draw attention to problems. We argue that policy actors’ objectives are a well‐suited predictor for narrative strategies in both democratic and nondemocratic contexts.
