The Hybrid Media Propaganda System that Enables Russian Authoritarianism - Maxim Alyukov Interview
The Putin regime has been widely exploiting the vulnerabilities of global social media platforms, using bots and trolls to promote specific stories and narratives. But Russian propaganda does not work how most people think it does. The interventions of the trolls and agitators often fail to directly promote pro-regime narratives in political discussions but do succeed in distracting people from having open discussions that are critical of the state. Welcome to the counter-intuitive world of Russian disinformation operations. Maxim Alyukov is a postdoctoral fellow at the King’s Russia Institute. He is also a researcher with the Public Soci...
