Identifying and Countering Russian Propaganda: Vlad Vexler | Jake Broe Show Clip
Video Summary
A shift in propaganda tactics has been observed in Russia under Putin’s leadership. Unlike Soviet propaganda, which aimed to persuade people of a certain ideology, Putin’s propaganda seeks to manipulate and confuse the public. It presents multiple, often conflicting narratives, making it difficult for people to discern what is true and what is not. This approach is designed to de-politicize the population, leaving them feeling overwhelmed and powerless. The goal is to seed panic, conflict, and confusion, ultimately harming democracies. To respond effectively, Western governments and media must understand the true nature of this propaganda and resist the urge to de-politicize the issue. Instead, they must acknowledge the interference when it’s real, respond to it, and protect their democracies without letting it divide them.
