This scoping review explores the prevalence and academic discourse surrounding the term “ruscism,” a neologism introduced to describe the ideology underpinning Russia’s geopolitical strategies, particularly its military actions in Ukraine. Originating in the early 1990s and gaining significant traction post-2014, “ruscism” reflects perspectives on Russian authoritarianism and neo-imperialism. Through a comprehensive literature review spanning publications from 2016 to 2024, this study examines the adoption and interpretation of “ruscism” within the academic community. It assesses publication trends, the thematic focus of these papers, and the extent to which Ukrainian scholars have influenced international academic narratives. The findings indicate that while “ruscism” is primarily discussed in Ukrainian scholarly works, its recognition and use in global academia is growing, highlighting a critical avenue for understanding regional conflicts and international relations. The study underscores the challenges and importance of strategic communication in academia concerning geopolitically sensitive topics.
