'Trolls in your feed' is a new digital publication that attempts to put Russian disinformation on the agenda for young people and give them knowledge about disinformation and fake news
The basic tenet of the Russian disinformation strategy is the claim that all news is constructed and therefore contested. In the best postmodern tradition they claim there is no 'objective news' - only different, rivalling interpretations which purport to show different aspects of what may be called 'reality'. And what the Russian media outlets present are merely possible explanations which serve as alternatives to the stories offered by Western media. It is a strategy which is both cunning and elegant as it preys on the enlightenment tradition and on the vulnerabilities of liberal democratic media. The Russian authorities seem to believe that (dis- ) information campaigns hold great prospects. There will not be any easy or fix-it-all solutions to this development. Rather, liberal democracies, especially vulnerable as a result of their free media culture, should prepare themselves for a long-term commitment to countering disinformation and to building up cognitive resilience to ensure that the former has minimal effect.

Med denne bog giver Niels Bo Poulsen og Flemming Splidsboel indblik og perspektiv. Hvordan skal vi forstå Putin, hvad var vejen hen mod krigen, og hvad er det for en tid, vi kigger ind i. Bogen er ikke en situationsbeskrivelse af krigen i Ukraine, selv om krigen er bogens afsæt. Den giver gennem nedslag i en række vigtige spørgsmål læserne svar ”vejen derhen” og tiden efter. Bogens kapitler handler om Ruslands politiske tænkning, om statsmagt, forsvar, sikkerhedspolitik og relationer til omverdenen. Den behandler forholdet mellem Putin og hans topfolk, det system som understøtter/svækker beslutningsprocesserne i Kreml, samt relationen mellem styre og befolkning. Og den giver en forståelse for russisk identitet, det russiske samfundssystem, russisk politik og den russiske økonomi og demografi.
