Peter Pomerantsev, who was born in Kyiv but worked for 10 years as a journalist in Russia, spoke about Russian President Vladimir Putin Vladimir Vladimirovich. Putin’s message to Russian President Leon Panetta: We all share moral outrage over Putin’s important role in guiding the propaganda machine in the audience. “It depends on their feelings that, in the words of his own spin doctors, there is no alternative to Putin,” said Pomeranchev, who is now a fellow at the Johns Hopkins University Market Institute, referring to the Russian people. “And that’s why he does so much to control the information environment, the emotions and perceptions at home. That’s why breaking new Iron Curtain information is a challenge, which is both psychological and technical,” he added. . Also during the hearing, Fatima Tlis, a Russian-American journalist, spoke about the various tactics used by Russia in domestic and international groups. “The Kremlin’s intelligence operations are being coordinated. They are using traditional media, social media platforms and cyberattacks to bombard people inside and outside Russia with specific messages, each designed for a specific audience,” Tlis said. “By targeting the domestic Russian public, the Kremlin is using misinformation and propaganda designed as entertainment.” “In targeting foreign countries, Russia is using well-informed, cleverly designed and targeted misinformation,” he said, adding that Russian propaganda portrayed the United States as “forever the super-evil and the main target.” After describing the situation in the Russian media, the experts offered some solutions to provide accurate information to the Russian public. “We can not have a dispersal approach to a focused, coordinated and coordinated enemy. It is simply not enough,” Pomeranchev said, recognizing that a solution must “include cooperation between governments, technology companies, the media and academia.” “Needless to say, only the Russians can and should change the political situation,” Vladimir Kara-Murza, a Russian journalist and opposition politician, told the commission. “In our country, this change is coming. And I think faster than you thought before February 24,” he added. The policies prohibit Russian state news channels and the media from even reporting Moscow’s attacks on Ukraine as an invasion or war. Instead, they should call it a “special military operation” otherwise face up to 15 years in prison. However, some, such as Marina Ovsyannikova, editor of the popular Russian television channel Channel One, have spoken out. Earlier this month, Ovsyannikova held a sign behind a news anchor who wrote, “Stop the war. Do not believe the propaganda. “They are lying to you here.” As a result, she was fined and detained by the authorities. The author later told CNN that some Russians have been “brainwashed” by the information provided in the country. “State propaganda is heard on every state television channel from morning till night,” he said at the time. “There is an information war.”
