In Russia, the Media Inversion of Reality wandering links March 05, 2022 Reading time: 11 min Share TO REMEMBER THIS WEEK: Propaganda, the weapon of war of the Russian regime – “In war, the truth is so precious that it should always be protected by a wall of lies,” said Winston Churchill. In these times of war in Ukraine, Russia is preparing to plunge into the darkness of propaganda. In a country where journalists were already regularly arrested and detained without valid reason and after the liquidation of the Memorial organization , access to almost all independent media is gradually being blocked.
This is the case for Echo of Moscow , Rain TV , the BBC, DW but sri lanka phone number library also social media such as Facebook and Twitter . The role of the Russian media is now to relay the Kremlin’s discourse. According to the television channels, the Russian operation against Ukraine is equivalent to the fight against the Third Reich . Statesmen take turns on air to say that Russia is saving lives in Ukraine where NATO is said to have allied itself with neo-Nazi forces. We are witnessing an inversion of reality which becomes, in the mouths of the media, "fake".
The Russian Parliament has also approved a law according to which "fake news" about the army risks up to 15 years in prison. The simple word "war" could be interpreted as such. Finally, in some parts of invaded Ukraine , only Russian media are currently available. Russia has also managed to build up a propaganda machine beyond its borders in recent years , including through state-backed media outlets . To prevent the spread of Russian disinformation, the European Commission has said it will ban “the Kremlin media machine” in the EU.
