How Russian disinformation penetrates and takes root in the Czech information space

How Russian disinformation penetrates and takes root in the Czech information space
Every country that consistently supports Ukraine is a target for Russian information operations. The Czech Republic is no exception. Russia uses low-tier news sites and mass comments on social media to shift public opinion and minimize support for Ukraine, as well as to deepen internal social divisions and Euroscepticism. The Kremlin operates not as a sprinter, but as a marathon runner. It does not expect an immediate effect — its strategy relies on repeatedly spreading the desired narratives and slowly eroding trust in mainstream media and level-headed politicians.
