Expert Reveals the Purpose of Russian Propaganda: How It Has Operated for Decades.
According to inkorr.com: Canadian specialist Markus Kolga noted that for many years, Russia has been conducting information campaigns aimed at justifying its imperial ambitions. In his opinion, these operations aim to legitimize Moscow's aspirations, with the main goal remaining unchanged since the Cold War.
'The primary goal has remained unchanged since the Cold War – to legitimize Russia's imperial ambitions. The classic tactic is to label anyone who resists Soviet dominance as a 'neo-Nazi,' which devalues and dehumanizes entire communities.'
Moreover, Kolga emphasizes that Russia actively shapes public opinion in Western countries, particularly in Canada, through information manipulations. Instructions like destabilizing democratic foundations reach subcontractors who contribute to societal division through misinformation.
Additionally, Moscow uses propaganda to suppress dissent within Russia and maintain Putin's power. The expert's statements highlight the planned nature of Russian activities aimed at weakening democratic institutions in other countries.
Kolga points out that Russian propaganda actively seeks to undermine democratic foundations and spreads misinformation in both international and domestic political contexts, posing a threat to the national security of several countries.
Thus, illuminating Russia's activities in the information sphere underscores not only its intentions but also the methods it employs to achieve its goals. Kolga provides essential keys for understanding how misinformation can impact democratic processes in various states, emphasizing the need to counter these challenges.
