Dozens of familiar names on one site. Viktor Medvedchuk’s propagandists reappear

For years, dozens of TV hosts, political analysts and officials fed Ukrainians pro-Russian narratives on the airwaves of 112 Ukraine, NewsOne and ZIK, channels linked to Viktor Medvedchuk. After February 2022, some left Ukraine, while others were suspected of treason. But they are still at work. We found almost all of them on govorit.tv, the latest guise of a propaganda project that has already been sanctioned twice by the UK. Medvedchuk’s crew continues to pose as "experts from Ukraine", making predictions that spell catastrophe for Ukraine every time.Читати українською

"They’re already here". Who brought migrants into Ukraine’s information space and how
On May 23, 2026, a rally against the recruitment of foreign workers and labor migration took place on Independence Square in Kyiv. Young men wearing masks held flags associated with a far-right community, while women stood with signs reading "Ukraine for Ukrainians" and "For a White Ukraine". Several dozen people attended this and other rallies in cities across Ukraine. However, social media posts described them as "mass rallies across Ukraine".Читати українською

Proruské narativy v českém informačním prostoru

Rusko systematicky působí na český informační prostor prostřednictvím sítě proxy zdrojů. My jsme prozkoumali přes 165 tisíc příspěvků z 21 českých webů, které šíří propagandistický, destruktivní nebo konspirační obsah.66 % příspěvků těchto internetových médií obsahovalo nejméně jeden propagandistický narativ. Celkem jsme odhalili 55 takových narativů v sedmi tematických skupinách: válka na Ukrajině, Rusko, USA, Evropa, Česko, Ukrajina a mezinárodní dění.

Jak se ruské dezinformace šíří v českém informačním prostoru

Jak se ruské dezinformace šíří v českém informačním prostoru
Každá země, která soustavně podporuje Ukrajinu, se stává terčem ruských informačních operací. Česká republika není výjimkou. Rusko prostřednictvím pochybných informačních webů a komentářů na sociálních sítích ovlivňuje veřejné mínění, oslabuje podporu Ukrajiny, prohlubuje vnitřní společenské rozpory a posiluje euroskeptické postoje. Kreml se nechová jako sprinter, ale jako maratonec. Nespoléhá na okamžitý efekt, ale sází na četná opakování klíčových sdělení, jejich šíření a pomalé podrývání důvěry v mainstreamová média a uvážlivé politiky.

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.

How Russians are using the IMF meetings to distort news about the state of the economy

How Russians are using the IMF meetings to distort news about the state of the economy
Propagandists from Russian state media use the opportunity to attend regular International Monetary Fund (IMF) meetings to promote their news agenda to both domestic audiences and the international community. For example, at press briefings, they highlight the economic problems of Ukraine, the USA, and Europe to further "highlight" these issues for global and domestic audiences and publish distorted excerpts from responses.Good news about the Russian economy is exaggerated on the RIA Novosti website (a Russian state news agency), while bad news is ignored.Читати українською
