Beskrivning
Russia's invasion of Ukraine is one of the most important conflicts of the twenty-first century. With the start of military hostilities in 2014 also came an onslaught of propaganda, to both convince and confuse audiences worldwide about the war's historical and ideological underpinnings. Based on extensive research drawing on tens of thousands of news articles and hundreds of pages of legal documents and internal correspondence, this book offers the first comprehensive analysis of the role of propaganda, ideology, and identity in the Russian-Ukrainian war. It argues that, despite Russia's efforts to set up a media machine at home and abroad with eight years of propaganda legitimising Russia's presence in eastern Ukraine, Russia failed to vocalise a convincing alternative to Ukrainian nationhood. Instead, Russian propaganda backfired: Ukraine is now more united than ever before.

Recensioner i media

'Roozenbeek's book is a valuable contribution to comprehending Russia's war against Ukraine. Its uniqueness lies in its focus on the role that the people's republics of Donetsk and Luhansk played in the Russian propaganda. These regimes are falsely portrayed by Moscow as regions breaking free from Ukraine in 2014 due to popular will. Roozenbeek skilfully dismantles this and other myths through a thorough analysis of news articles and policy documents, and also shows how this propaganda failed to convince most Russian-speaking Ukrainians. A remarkable accomplishment!' Egbert Fortuin, University of Leiden
