Propaganda: shaping narratives in times of war This episode is a recording of a public event held by Central European University in Vienna.

Catch the recording of our recent discussion on how propaganda fuels Russia’s war against Ukraine—shaping narratives, justifying aggression, and undermining democracy. Featuring @teresafm.bsky.social @jcaf.bsky.social and Volodymyr Yermolenko, moderated by @flampert.bsky.social

Propaganda has long been a powerful tool for shaping public opinion. In Russia’s war against Ukraine, propaganda has been a central instrument for creating narratives that legitimize aggression and undermine democracy.

Although many experts on Russia, Ukraine, and NATO reject this explanation, there's empirical evidence indicating that articles in the NYT have helped promote this narrative. See, for instance, G. N. Ramsay and S. Oates’s new book ('Seeing Red') on Russian propaganda:

Source: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/19/world/europe/russia-finland-border.html
