Beskrivning

Who is targeted by Putin’s 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 Russia’s 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 Kremlin’s 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.

Recensioner i media

In the context of its imperial ambitions, Russia’s main project is to enslave Ukraine and end its existence as a state. It is the duty of all patriots to counteract this in five interrelated directions: military, economic, diplomatic, informational, and cultural. The last two directions are no less important than the others. Mykol’s book clearly characterizes Moscow’s attempt to gradually destroy Ukrainian identity through propaganda and illustrates Ukraine’s informational struggle against foreign occupation. —Victor Yushchenko, President of Ukraine in 2005–2010
