The article sets out to examine the entertainment source domain and its scenarios as realised in the
media discourse surrounding political events in Belarus in 2021. Metaphorical scenarios are investigated considering different
viewpoints, such as those presented in Lithuanian, German, and Russian media. The methodological framework is a blend of Cognitive
Linguistics and Critical Discourse Studies, embracing the viewpoint (Sweetser, 2012),
Critical Metaphor Analysis (Charteris-Black, 2005), metaphorical scenarios (Musolff, 2016), and framing (Hart, 2014). The
results demonstrate that the entertainment domain acquires multiple scenarios depending on the viewpoint. The evaluation
attached to the scenarios is mostly negative; however, the viewpoint adopted in Lithuanian and German discourses is very
different from Russian discourse. The former is based on Western values and targets the authoritarian regime, whereas the
latter is Russian-centric, with the Western world posited as a major threat to the Belarusian and Russian societies.
