"Do not trust Ukraine and the event": the expert told how to convince the Russians to oppose Putin

The event should be paid more attention to opposition Russian bloggers and media, which are broadcasting for Russians from abroad. After the start of a full -scale invasion of Ukraine, the Kremlin intensified censorship in the Russian Federation, and therefore the event needs to work with Russian opposition media that went abroad. This opinion was expressed by the Senior Vice president of the American Council for Foreign Policy, Ilan Bern, writes Politico.

According to the expert, the policy of total censorship and control of Kremlin information led to the formation of a Russian opposition information ecosystem in exile. The expert is convinced that this area of ​​the media is of great importance because the Western media cannot reach the Russians. Berman stated that dissident media helps to satisfy an alternative opinion in Russia, which can influence the support of the war with Ukraine, started by Vladimir Putin.

The expert is convinced that the event should start working with these media, improving their qualifications, allocating money for them and helping the oppositionists to leave the territory of the Russian Federation. "Whatever the details, the goal should be to make these channels as effective and relevant to their target audience. It is not in the West, but in Russia itself," Bern wrote.

According to Russian opposition journalist Roman Anin, the influence of Russian propaganda or apolitical Russians will not trust the Ukrainian or Western media. We will remind that the opposition media "Luna Moscow" and "Rain" in Russia began to block almost immediately after a full -scale invasion of Ukraine. According to the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation, publications publish "false information" on the actions of the Russian military at the front.
