Good Americans and bloodthirsty Europeans. Monitoring of Russian media in February-March 2025

Donald Trump has become the center of attention in the Russian media, surpassing even Vladimir Putin in the number of mentions. His statements are becoming part of the Kremlin's propaganda, which uses them to support the narrative of Russia's "rightness" in the war and attempts to establish peace on the Kremlin's terms. The propaganda actively shapes the image of the United States, where Trump personifies a "right" American who can change the White House's policy in favor of Russia.At the same time, propagandists do not forget to turn Europe into a new enemy, replacing old narratives about "Anglo-Saxons" with new expressions that are offensive, such as European bureaucrats and British politicians.This article explored the main topics that dominated the Russian information space. We also analyzed the key people mentioned in the Russian media. The monitoring summarizes our previous studies on the attitude of propaganda towards the United States after the presidential election and on the coverage of peace talks between Russia and Ukraine in the Russian mediaЧитати українською

How easy it is to manipulate us. Analyzing comments to humorous TikTok deepfakes

So far, only fraudsters, propagandists, and comedians have benefited the most from the technology of deepfakes. And while the first two categories seem to be clear, the latter reminds us once again that even a low-quality, obviously fake diplomat still finds those who take it seriously. This means that fraudsters and propagandists are doing quite well.We have downloaded more than 10 thousand comments to four popular TikTok videos on a channel that makes primitive comic videos about politicians "on the front lines" using the technology of deepfakes. All this is to try to understand what share of commenters took these videos at face value. And the results are not very encouraging.Читати українською
