Beschreibung
Who is targeted by Putins propaganda and how does it work? What is hybrid war, and how is it related to the concept of the Russian World? Who is responsible for propaganda at the technical level, and how exactly does propagandistic journalism function? Who are Russias allies in terms of ideology and where do the main threats may come from? Finally: Is it possible to resist information war, and what are the best methods for fighting the Kremlins disinformation campaigns? In this book, Ukrainian political scientist Mykola Davydiuk discusses these and other questions. In an accessible manner, the author shares his experience of resisting media propaganda. He gives examples of how people are being manipulated and explains how to avoid the role of a puppet in the Russian hybrid theater. The book will is especially valuable for those who care about the current developments in Ukraine and the information space its citizens live in, as well as for those who take an interest in politics, not waiting until politics takes an interest in them.
