An empire of fakes and propaganda in the service of Putin
Description
"It is almost impossible to hide from propaganda in Russia today. It haunts your children at school, seeps into the public pages of your cities and districts, and crawls out even when you are simply scrolling through your social media feed.
There is a whole empire of fake news operating in the country. Specially trained people come up with news that has nothing to do with reality. But they justify the actions of the Kremlin and praise Putin and his army. And they drag Ukrainians and the entire ""collective West"" through the mud.
In a new investigation by ""Important Stories"", ""Meduza"" and The Bell, we expose the fakes and tell you how this propaganda machine works, who is at its helm, and how many billions the Russian government spends on it."
