Who is targeted by Putin’s propaganda and how does it work? What is “hybrid war,” and how is it related to the concept of the “Russian World”? Who is responsible for propaganda at the technical level, and how exactly does propagandistic journalism function? Who are Russia’s allies in terms of ideology and where do the main threats may come from?
