Research focuses on the methods of brand development and promotion of political party brands in Russia, particularly through socio-political talk shows on television. We conducted a longitudinal comparative analysis of the media representation of deputies from various parties in 2019 and 2021, along with a qualitative study of politicians’ performances in 2023 across three federal channels: Channel One, Russia 1, and NTV . Based on our findings, we propose a two-stage model for analyzing the branding of politicians in television broadcasts. The study found that socio-political talk shows have a significant impact on both personal and political image formation. However, not all political parties take advantage of this opportunity to promote their image through broadcasts. The availability of administrative resources is not always a determining factor in a party’s success in branding. This work aims to enhance the understanding of the mechanisms involved in political promotion and branding, which is especially pertinent to Russian political practice as we approach the next electoral cycle. In light of this, the article underscores the necessity for further research to refine communication strategies between political parties and the public.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Рассмотрены методы развития и продвижения брендов политических партий в России через общественно-политические ток-шоу на телевидении. Проведен сравнительный анализ медийной репрезентации депутатов от разных партий в 2019 и 2021 гг., а также качественное исследование выступлений политиков в 2023 г. на трех федеральных каналах: «Первом канале», «Россия 1» и НТВ. На основе полученных результатов предложена двухэтапная модель анализа брендинга политиков в телеэфире. Исследование показало, что общественно-политические ток-шоу оказывают значительное влияние на формирование как личного, так и политического имиджа. Однако не все политические партии рассматривают возможность выступления в телевизионном эфире как инструмент собственного брендирования. Административный ресурс не всегда оказывается важной переменной. Данное исследование направлено на углубление понимания механизмов политического продвижения и брендинга, что особенно актуально для российской политической практики в преддверии очередного электорального цикла. В свете этого статья подчеркивает необходимость дальнейшего изучения темы для совершенствования коммуникационных стратегий между политическими партиями и общественностью.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>political marketing</kwd><kwd>Russian television</kwd><kwd>Russian political parties</kwd><kwd>political talk shows</kwd><kwd>TV content</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>политический маркетинг</kwd><kwd>российское телевидение</kwd><kwd>российские политические партии</kwd><kwd>общественно-политические ток-шоу</kwd><kwd>телевизионный контент</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Aksenov, A.A.
