Signification
A situation that causes a significant public reaction.
Contexte culturel
In Russia, 'широкий резонанс' is often the only way for civil society to influence the government. When a case (like that of Ivan Golunov) gets enough 'resonance', it can lead to the reversal of official decisions. In many post-Soviet countries, the phrase is used by activists to signal that 'the world is watching', making it a tool for safety and transparency. Russian journalists use this phrase to justify why they are covering a story. It's a marker of 'newsworthiness'. On Russian Telegram channels, 'резонанс' is measured in views and forwards, but the phrase still carries a more serious weight than just 'viral'.
Use with 'Вызвать'
If you're not sure which verb to use, 'вызвать' (to cause) is the most powerful and common choice for this phrase.
Don't over-use
If everything is a 'широкий резонанс', then nothing is. Save it for truly impactful stories.

The 'Echo' Metaphor
