Analysis of the social network of Ukrainian politicians and officials based on the corpus of publications of the “Nashi Groshchi” online magazine
Abstract:
Using the collection of articles of the “Nashi Groshchi” online magazine we will build a social networks of individual politicians, officials, and businessmen, as well as the companies they are affiliated with.
