The Russian Media Wars

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Every day Russian propagandist media produces new misinformation, like a factory working ceaselessly on the constitution of a parallel world. Nevertheless, many people still ask themselves: is Russia not entitled to have its own opinion, its own perspective on events? The aim of this article is to explain how the actors behind Russian propaganda exploit precisely this naive belief in order to drive home their own aggressive political agenda. The basic strategies of the Russian information war will be explained in this article by reference to the expression ‘media crisis’, as it was coined by Ukrainian media theorist Georgy Pocheptsov in 2003.
