a dad decided to conduct a special military operation. hey, you're with it. we months trying to demilitarize and d nazi get crank. oh, i had tre. i don't want to send this message to my dad yet. if i don't make it, please tell him that i love him very much with my spine key. don't panic, we are strong enough. we are ready for anything. we will be bit atoria, so we are you crazy glory, long ukraine. ah ah ah. oh, sasha has launched a major offensive against you. crayon it is. i thought none of us knew she thought of. no, i believe you thought of the russian invasion of ukraine is the 1st hall to be fought in real time in the media military and not only on television, but most importantly on social media. to russia, to victory to the president of india. an online propaganda battle is raging from day one. it's been a contest between truth and lies. information and disinformation. phillip williams from any political observers also refer to this war as the tick tock war. in russia, communication is typically one way top down glory to ukraine law in ukraine. on the other hand, there are many voices reporting on the war. sa glory to ukraine. it's it peaks dreamily massive to look phenomena. it's very grassroots. everyone. everyone in the country participates in this war, just like strategic communication from spin doctors on both sides is carefully orchestrated fully to the driver. so please remember that the initial shock will pass a strange as it sounds. get used to the industry, written comfortable as o. evie dem lewis we see right through you. do you understand me? jones shoots. everybody knows it. everybody likes oh, the slow down there, but it was great. but at the outset of the war of the leukemia zalinski brought in additional support for his communications team. or like c at a store, which became the president's military advisory on them, the walk was, will oh, dear shakes at the soonest. was the initial shock. it's always scary. most of them come to victories or to when there will be more. don't worry. what does it will defeat them on the battlefield and the west will finish them off? economical engine? animals. oh, like the entire zalinski team artist which doubles as an influenza, he reaches millions of people in ukraine on social media platforms such as youtube . in the 1st days of the war, he was only present in countless interviews and briefing. so he explained what was happening and helped people digest the shell. could you even heard, could you know the way bastards missions this would be the war you expected longer . so basically she is doing the, the job offer of psychotherapist. oh, who will tell you what is actually the exact is happening to you to normalize this situation to, to make you take it under your control. and that's really important, of course, for the traumatized audience and his token to traumatize. so yeah, so he's not trying to to make it more traumatic to the audience. whereas the russian modules, because of course they're traumatizing the audience with or with all the discourse, just like anyone in zalinski office or a storage is bearing the same type of close. so for many different audiences, and he of course, acquired audiences all over the world because he is communicating and mediating the message from the office of the president of ukraine. so of course, it's quite unusual to senior government official who is bearing this sort of clause sanchez. i'm going to ask you a paradoxical question. are these the best days of your life? we're seasoning it's really coolest. you know, this is going to sound very pompous. yeah. and i won't say that war is my thing. which shocks like this are my thing. usually most major psychological upheavals because i've been practicing psychology for years. much. oh no, they called me the nation, psychotherapist legal 1000000 guided zalinski. alex soon aristo, which his popularity became apparent to the rest of the world. lending him more and more international interviews, single guy, you know, the flag of it. yes, i can understand that you need military equipment to defend yourself. good. but all that really help given that ukrainian soldiers might not be trained on that equipment and might even run into difficulties in a combat situation is cannot whistle, her army issue has been fixed and so that on to die target, they are deleted mahash and gib lou insulin done by the venetians, it's slow glory to ukraine's glory to ukraine. we'll see soon. ha oh, oh. oh, no, this morning to russia, launched a special military operation to protect the people's republic. them done yeske and lawanda taylor. so the rosie alluded to all your friends, say your main problem is that you studied law. you love the law and always follow it. yes, it's impossible to make a hoot and violate the law. the cool new of morton. at that is true. i had very good teacher. vladimir, sylvia else is putins, chief propagandist with life casts on his home page tv 2 shows and his telegram channel with well over a 1000000 followers he's the kremlin ever present mouthpiece. ah, so it's a trim of him. you'll schultz has become khaki, moved in palmer, he declared. then we will help you. crane with money and equipment until pu and realizes his little mistake. 1000000000. berlin is unprotected. we'll nettle some or even back then and the last war anyway, our aircraft were able to reach berlin it. i live the 1000000000 bill if we can do a lot of things, you will model germans, you should learn from history. would she to look use good. one thing i really like about these shows is that you don't need to speak russian. you don't need to understand a word in russian to see how it works. so he is on center and he will never move from the center. he will normally never approach. yes, guess he will always stay in the center and the guests are supposed to support his main message from the sidelines. so the maria, of course, he is symbolizes ruler. who delivers the real message and slowly off in this is served. he basically repeats what putting what's seen in the morning of that same d. now let's look at so the of himself hears this famous coat that refers to some mighty rulers of the thirty's, probably to study know, maybe to, to saline. he always has his hands behind his back. he immediately prepares to attack you. he's aggressive already in this, in this posture is never open to you. he is closed and he is aggressive already in the way he, his stance. so no trauma this morning with russia launched a special military operation to protect the mobiles republics of danielle and will homeschool the main roles of the operation are demilitarize and not the ukraine. you know, what sort of his doing here he is, once again repeat in, put his words, he announces the demilitarization in d, if a cation of ukraine. this is why slow your office paying so much attention to pronouncing these words, to introduce them, imposing them on the audience. this is the point where he actually does put his job . ah, russia has never been about in a free speech. and now with the war a single wrong word can land you in prison for up to 15 years. well is the 1st day of the war. the police? well, they sold me and landed up in a hospital where the concussion people were trying to do their best for many, many years, struggling to avert these to the course of events. whereas most of the foreign countries, leaders, we're quite happy to support regimen pollution in his refreshing against against russia. so for me, just like for many russian people is definitely not the 1st encounter with the police. ah, he but even grew he directorial integrity of our country is under threat. we will use all means at our disposal to protect russia and our people. she still national but us, but his this is not a bluff. if can you believe 1st? oh, of course are put in, he is dressed officially and recalls it ascii, whose ah, normally dressed unofficially. and this, there is always a communication between these 2 ways of producing images. now with putting you have close image of humor, which kind of creates even more power and even more aggression. she is literally in your room and she will be threatening the in this video. so he will be threatening from inside your room, then put in his ruler, who has these forms. and with these forms, he's basically an important, it takes a one phone call to get all everything soft and all it also gets one form cold to get the nuclear weapons activated. and this is sonton put in, we'll be talking about, ah, should the collapse of the soviet union was a tragedy of the 20th century? we were one country and suddenly many were outside its borders. in speeches and statements, contin often elude to the restoration of russia's enough empire. people would tend to over emphasize his experience. and could you beat this formative experiences? could you be but his formative experience in, in st. peter's book in the ninety's or perhaps even more important and put in was a real gags. basically the guy with a gun. oh, would solve the issues with rece. karen, people was with fear that with violence. so that was an important lesson for for him. but also for, for many russians, oh, i dont, she bucher no crane. the one why hordes of mercenaries are going to ukraine. the president has abandoned debt to the ground. this is what ukrainian and p l yakima says on telegram. yes, he says zalinski is already in poland and hiding in the american embassy of pasta dorcas on your book to will you like just got confirmation that the commander in chief of the ukrainian armed forces was president vladimir zalinski, crossed the ukrainian polish border to day. and took refuge in the u. s. embassy with miracles, campus was to lead that of routes. the leader of our parliamentary faction is here . the head of the president's office is here, ukraine's prime minister. me hollis here put a lock is here. the president says, here don't we are all here are millinery is hero. our fellow citizens are here on is was booster. uh huh. we made this video on february 25th at the request of the president of the landscape because he understood exactly and intuitively the mood of the contract, 3, ag, etc, me to we are all here defending our independence. not our state doug will do. it will continue to be so much and glory to our men and women to landers glory to ukraine, lo, green flora will, did you bring a petition that the worship from there it was decided so that we wouldn't have to constantly refute the myths about our whereabout also to show where and who we are, but the don't think it's all it's on the president's initiative. will not that much? i do believe it put an end to all the rumor. see what secret key old name was either me. hi lo padaya has been part of the zalinski team since 2020 his task to improve the president's relationship with the press. it's been said bit he was the one who brought down a stove, which on board in 2022. 0. wish. hey chinney keith, it's evening and keith our office. when did you? it's monday evening. i did was look, you know, we used to say monday is a hard day. there is a war in the country screening. dina durish, my come on, i'm in just this single clip. you can see what makes the landscape such an effective communicator, ashton, he understands that this war is also war of online images and especially social media images. sorry. using this video, i'll show you just how media savvy hears this hallmark with his gun on his and v to fast mutton. so yeah, hm. the difference against this is the sell. see inst, alive, esthetic. that's become his trademark and m. v. compared to putin's doll of communication, you can see that he speaking at eye level with the ukranian people from a fargo holstead at depth assume he sits down, takes us with him, and then comes the decisive comma, orange net. and he sets aside the salty perspective, because i think here on the table, and he's now being filmed out of phrase, i have to speak with a professional camera. i'm a hog, a friend, the fast effect. so he starts with an insta live aesthetic. and now his shifted to the aesthetic of a presidential address. i'm the mom. when does the move on to cuba? what's key here is that this cut symbolizes a shift enrolls longer from he makes the shift from a soldier who's reporting on events to the president who's addressing the people before. go ahead. aba, it's week of the on the check here is the speech has already started. so the cut looks more subtle than it actually is. and it was as long as it's done with the thought in ukraine. we used to say, monday as a hard day. we'll talk on how to talk, cut infinite and finishes. the thought after the cut with there is a war in the country. so every day is monday, didn't talk. we'll talk for once coding. there is a war in the country, so every day is monday. good. and now we are used to the fact that every day and every night or like that any bridge. oh oh yeah. unless someone had thought it no estie, i started following the news on telegram. i couldn't sleep and i called my father and dos. did that, did you hear the explosion? yes, i did the dos and i said that city the war has started. i know we're leaving ego. ah, video night shall our, she'd seen that it was she, the video went viral on the go on them off to the 1st 1000000 hits we was shot. but when it went viral, everyone told us that people cried. and but the men and women on those because it was so touching and i'm sick of it. he lou justin will sheely every one remembered how they had experienced the 24th of february. she did not read yoko that was just, i mean i'd say about those i with so some of those years, explosions, problems, and pressure where i'll contact companions. tears is i material. some of my telegram channels are always open. so many messages and lod, you as more than victor, a nash co is not alone on telegram. it's the most popular messaging app in ukraine . president zalinski also used it during his election campaign, and now telegram is used by ukrainians to disseminate news of the war warnings and appeals for support. and so his instagram cho, but if you submit, i would like to address dmitri, put in the argon chief for 3 days. you kept silent for you said nothing, but listen to me. you posted about to landscape a video about how shocked you are by him. that's nonsense, is that what she at monsters lamar, which she had given up last night, we began to actively take a stand on instagram hoopa. i shared 20 posts about the war every day. that's especially since the mobilization guide, the chest. i also hope to reach my russian audience, if the chance will defend ourselves in writing what we feel. always supposed to stay silent when you more chad says there's a panorama window over there on that on. we can see when the neighbor turns on the rest of it with you or i, and it's like a reminder. i mean let's turn it on to smoke. many friends also watch it with i am as deviation, but he's going with we watch our stomach almost every evening at 30. it's a tradition. one lay on has to go to bed when the show comes on what the futile will sure to serve as a lovely russian opposition. activist mark fagin and ukrainian military advisor, alexia kristovich, have a cult following their nightly youtube took share. was launched when the war broke out over hurdles. weapons should weapons, weapons, or again, weapons. we need weapons. weapons once again. we need weapons, a lot of weapons, osha, osha adventurers. no one. i think they will help us because without weapons, it will be very difficult to work with. if we get weapons when the weapons arrive, weapons are exactly what we need to do with alicia. that old customer, you, melissa. they some will exceed your fuel thomas with liberates as a how to what you had before the war aristo, which was well known in ukraine. yes, it is forward shred your hold to it yet within your when the federal is dead, no matter how you feel about him, according to opinion polls, aristotle, which is one of the 3 most popular people in the grains becoming so what does he now have ambitions to become president, military base them will exceed if he would feel more. lexi himself, a master of predictions, one venture to say. so let's see where his sharp tongue will lead him to dad is forward track your whole to over there. iris day, which was born in georgia but grew up in keith. he's had a colorful career from odd jobs as an actor, to organizing seminars on psychology, to training valencia. so just was there isn't a lot. so for you which ross each your subordinates never to be distracted when shooting when the enemy territory, daniel lacrowe, this india winters wanted also to tell us what was on youtube. he tackles a variety of topics. we were using a picture drawn by his son. he explains the psychological impact of rules was that was gives him a look. i'm good at the william they were, i say we don't fire on passenger flings, and the replies on it's a military plane. and why the suitcases followed after the missile hits version? because the military travels with suitcases, global child or adult, these images take root in our brains with a little sandwiches in a restore, which is very different in all the channels that he appears he is an educator or he's a kind of r homeschooled philosopher. he speaks about literature, he speaks about politics. he speaks about, ah, military action, he is about everything an expert was out expertise. on the short, mr. shoes were supporting the german vogis here. so where please are our women. there was a little girl, religion, aristo, which posts his content on telegram where he has nearly 450000 followers. he repeatedly finds himself at the center of scandals. but his fellow adviser, me, hi lo padaya always defense him. when it comes to winning the communications war with teams or lensky minor disagreements don't come into play. that was, was ira stove. it's his talents as a social media influenza, a why he was brought on to the presidential team over to as well. so he often uses means, photos, embellished with images, from popular movies or comics. i'm stella, a pop culture references. tim takes the place of a historical reference system. you know, everyone gets it when they see star wars. the rebels versus darth vader. where is the good guy? his bad guy is that the size? this is alyssa. it's a reference system that transcends board is at least some people who go online and get the pop culture references will demonstrate soonest. the proper to let in even need to have seen the originals magazine. so now the younger generation is using this system of reference to make sense of a war. that at 1st glance, seems incredibly abstract and perplexing lobby abstract and of welcome. that's led to this enormous mimi application for these are in norm mean, if it's your home, the mover you asked her, which is reputation also rests on a frighteningly accurate prediction he made in 2019. regarding the separatist conflict in easton ukraine. look that this is okay and if you could move to join nato, could that be the end of the war in the east? you thought stroke off the cushion you when any of the other caseworker proficient with? no, we won't get a deadline to end the war. instead, it might encourage russia to launch a large scale attack against ukraine, because they want to destroy our infrastructure and ruin ukraine will so that natal loses interest groups who in russia seek direct confrontation with nato. let us near near la carte, knows he has to do it before we join nato numbers to them when they won't want to take on a ruined country. there's a 99.9 percent. certain the price of applying to nato is war with russia to playing a lot at bushland. ah, debt is 30 and i said it is and remains a fool will acquire noise that goes though the ex 30 sides are not a colonel who knew not even a lieutenant colonel bulk of new. a military expert, like you is like a bullet made a miranda, i was there. can you imagine the poor ukrainian people spoon out this idiots grab and believe that most of you could let us see about almost 40000000000 the, even with these lies with everything there spouting, nothing works out a way he says, but he tries to save face it look, we're, you know, i can see it on to love you, of the broadcast on his crappy channel, a gemelli of nature francisco. this is characteristic of a fascist regime to clean the enemy is both weak and strong. would produce opportunities. loveseat, a smothered leather. zillion. when we look at the landscape and asked, give it a honey, got you little no look at the faces of our boys and the ones from the other side with what beautiful noise we have. and what vicious, miserable freaks are over there, flew ah, she cried, you presently. miss lensky has accused russia of genocide after hundreds of bodies were discovered in the town of butcher, near the capital. keith images of mass graves and bodies showing signs of torture have sparked wide spread international condemnation with several e. u countries now pushing for tougher sanctions against much russia. moscow claims the killings were staged. our next report contained some disturbing emmy lou. this is terrible for ditch from boucher ukrainians. were a completely shocked by this sights and traces of genocide because this people were killed, tortured, exterminated, on the basis of their ethnicity because they were ukrainian citizens. the war crimes in boucher marked a turning point in the perception of the russian invasion of ukraine. not only did the cruel, the of the russian occupation become visible for many ukrainian reports and russian disinformation collided directly for the 1st time you called in to new york. a few hours ago i returned from the liberated territory. so the key region goes away from what the occupiers left behind me rose from, sorry, the video is hard to watch in here, but this is the reality. it, i go ahead. lou. see mistake is getting all the liberated cities look like something out of the post apocalyptic horror movie. up up a competition. and among the victims of these war crimes, my russian forces are reaped. women will be tried to burn. that says will go on the local government workers who were killed from the gimme some dead children who we tell their lead people, but to men leading to lou do. but plenty of their hands tight and show signs of torture. littleton, lydia could coin the awareness of this, this is something horrifying and ah, in ukraine, so many people cannot really, ah, kind of sign off. and i always knows a this several days i will be watching hundreds of videos of that. but it also contributes a to war, this cult of brute force in i in rush. and with this war it becomes, oh, really, really impressive. ah, so the believe that in the final account, oh, issues this black are settled through brute force. that becomes, you know, the cornerstone of, of the system and that's why i think we're all in big danger. yes. think a 100 people are ready to testify about the brutality of ukrainian nationalities of said. russia's permanent new and representative basil in a benzo today in the bins. yep. yep. when you mo, i know you've seen bodies heard stories, lusaka, but you saw what they wanted. you to see it because it only total amateurs or are western partners who stubbornly have been saying black is white and white is black, would fall for this thing in the line shortly built in the world. you say it's all fabrication what's happening in butcher it's all a fabrication. i said i. so i said that these 2, these photographs abuse only on the 3rd of april while we left the place will the citizen much. but, but the, the satellite evidence shows those bodies were there when you were in charge of that town. while analyzing satellite imagery taken on the 19th of march is clear, the bodies had been lying in the open for weeks. and critically, during the time russian forces occupied the town, we've compared the satellite imagery, any cranium. so just video by highlighting body, seen on the street, is clear there in the same location in both the video and the satellite. imagery is not true. nothing today can be taken for grabowski and don't forget that the video that's present zalinski displayed. so these a fake reminds which is why is it because it is, i think it was one that people are not dead. the people are dead, but they were shot elsewhere where there were no russian troops. it was is i did before read the internet leads, read the users. so the rule is denied right to the end. never admit anything. who always be is some funny people who will believe you when, when you are tonight, and then there is another layer. the denial. joking about this little one on one attending normal past knows if we done that would have cleaned up after hours. how boy stood. furthermore close that who of ours would have done that? and you know, of every one knows that way me him deal of more dealing with nazis way liars. las scumbags kill their fellow citizens. without hesitation for the sake of a phone with laser grows newcomers to be with as a not mere jesus be ukrainians are depicted as nazis. his stop at nothing, even suffering and death to smear russia in the eyes of the world. and you wasn't both innovative in this country. that's an effective form of war. time, propaganda, propaganda extremely fixed. the russian people especially lap it up with the thing that us bank, but they're only too happy to hear it's. this is all fake news already from this is all american factory because it lines up with their own desire to deny these images fond gayden with them agen wound fought, isn't buddha unfinished? and so far i fear of think that's what i want to say with craig, this is a fake butcher is clearly fake them with the ukrainians themselves. doing this if it's a provocation, nothing or that the fake, a fake. like the way the bodies are lying there, it's a natural, it doesn't look real quick and he doesn't lose. and what are the, my own you? actually the key word here is the word fake. but the most interest to think about the word fake is that doesn't exist. russian, the vast majority of russians never heard anything about faith until very recently . so what comes from us is by definition, truth, what comes from them is by definition, a fake. just rushing in this area and then a huge range there. beside the local people say that every day now they hear constance challenz at going on. right now, this moment here you can hear it's happening at this exec moment. ah. if you ever thought of visible isaac, that i was an foul with alex on the day of the very brave crew of the card number 400 to maria of deva is a lawyer and political scientist at the start of the war. she became a reporter. her twitter diary is part of the ukranian grassroots communication network. it's not ok stretching from above, but is her own creation. hi there, this is maria from harkey of ukraine. i am standing in front of the main administrative building, which was hit by russian rock had several days ago. and reeseville have a russian working on. i ask you, please continue support in your grade. we need your help, only together we can, we have dance of march, maria, d of a harkey of ukraine. this used to be a quiet neighborhood in the fitness center. that is what wooden calls the notification can you talk to us a little bit about what you've heard, what we would need to experience? what has that changed in this? it was a bombardment for the 2 days yesterday i had to possibility to go out into city center. the nearby residential houses are also heavily destroyed. they have no windows for it is in some places. and here is the wall with this science of russian grad midsize, he didn't eat and it is very heavily destroyed. many houses here. malta story, buildings are completely in. we thing a lot of material legs, us recordings, witnessing accounts of people immersed in the situation coming there in the most dangerous moment. sometimes right after the strike, to witness to a count, to document, to make sure that right there is a record of that in the a quite a fearless in what they are doing. and so therefore be half quite incredible. archive of this records august. how long have you been without guess? i would guess with 2 months here the since the war started. are they often are you bombed or did they the every day here, every day? mm hm. mm hm. mm huh. mm hm. yeah, but the traveler exam we as a mother had censure yet because i feel like if i do this, i can help morning about justice or years, which i know i call it if you can at least establish what happened and who was responsible for it or it can make a difference of when it took the reach of irish. oh say not much of the you can perhaps at ease as a bit of pain. a subpoena for you have been directly affected by these crimes. fosters dolly that said launched a new ear. so said the kind of what they are, it's important work when, when you with the youth. so those are virtually, were oh, oh, okay. so what do you mean? um, so of your m zalinski, the loose loop you, lensky said something totally amazing during his performance. duncan, his mom, he is of course, a rare fool and that's his kiss. india should the year a napkin, joy, jose guess the ukrainian president, but he did. so what he is supposed to do here is to explain why zalinski is a nazi. but what he does instead, he's actually repeating these are to worse along each other, zalinski nazis and ends cannot see nazi nazi. and therefore establishing an association between them and emotionally laden association and would arouse some are very important emotions ah, in the audience. keep beach thing that's a typical nasa years keep despicable. good, vile, malicious it. but you will the wide sure of the novel. he says it's all the russians follow sienna. oh, it's narrow, it's narrow, it's narrow. it allows us resentment in the audience. and resentment is crucially important feeling to understand what, what russians here, when they are, when they watch these, these shows the already feel victimized. the already feel victims of unjust aggression arose anger. and this a self righteous feeling of being justified to conduct this, this war prod, you met thailand, ski not it's on not the station. so i owe them years, a lindsey, the russian been dr. belly a decade ago. in 2013 vladimir philosophy of celebrated new year's eve with reload and he is and then he on russian state television. and he was known for expressing thrill ukrainian. these numbers in you go way me right. let me put it this way and you would then there will never be a war between russia and ukraine, that any one who in all seriousness attempts such a thing as a criminal of unimaginable proportions were grain. ukraine's people are our brothers and spear em up in blood. and shared history alluded when war with them would be the worst crime imaginable multiple for the don't you don't need to shout . so last of all is ours. and you don't need to shout. crimea is our zeal it, that's the which we need to make life in our country so attractive. then ukrainians bellow, russians and mold of allens, armina, george and all of them want to live with us and peace and come to us. instead of saying that even join us right now or i'll punch you in the face that i do blood work. i love me. i say era, who would love somebody like that? that's absurd. newer than was in you did. if i can assist you with less than 8 years later, vladimir sylvia's opinions had shifted a 180 degrees. now, lovely, now, by 2015, when a dutch journalist interviewed kitchens, propagandist, the annexation of crimea was already a reality. yellow. hello yellow. would you be a good to see you too young russian or english? let her talking english surely a bit busy here. rab bigger chair. so you're not scared to write to the central russian propaganda. oh, okay. law. am i? well, i know you're up. there was a whole bunch of programs including the, on the boat. my show it was that will with surprise, thought that they called was all, but definitely not. yeah. and had the weird feeling bad, the guys on the worst, they have for other perverted view on with 1000000 russian me and brush itself. and what in what way was it averted? i the way that everyone things earth. oh, you know, big russian girl is back and the russians do it for ukrainians for breakfast and the we all just one called away from kremlin. and when it's new, couldn't just pick up the phone and get right into my ear and gives us ugly commands to talk to dance and the others. are there any themes day? you center yourself, you think or maybe now are go too far? oh, why? why should you never have the feeling that ok, maybe not do this because i wrote favorable of course, not shampoo or raise hell for them. every single program when we're discussing what's happening. so in russia. but it's not just sylvia who has re cast himself since putin race to power in 2000. the entire media system has gradually come on to state can roll. in 2022 reporters without borders ranked russia, 100 and 55th out of 180 on its world press freedom and decks. the group also says that since the attack on ukraine, there has effectively been no freedom of the press in russia. that he plays dogs. well, i just spoke to a presenter for russians don't television. i should be a little afraid of him or perhaps angry while to sign like but actually i found him quite pleasant. no matter who i talk to and where they work the somehow i like all of them for very interviews with i like that. i don't know if that's a good or bad quality though we over slept, i saw polish and gone, but as we get dozens of civilian casualties. a with i know near the village of nova sellable unarmed civilians i stole to a military convoy season the youth of they burned car tires to paralyzed traffic. mcglenn he'd been down in the past for papers. the reply was a gunshot. who always had it. tatiana, when he anava, was a rookie russian report her when she was sent to ukraine's eastern dumbass region in 2014, to report on the conflict. even then she felt misgivings about her job. but she came to terms with it that thou say yes, because on blonde they just thought it was a good fight. i walked across the everything on fire behind me and me in the foreground friday wearing a white dress so to speak out of it is in your bill on black. yeah, the one where you've been restless here since the morning. the. 1 army is on the streets, there's gonna fire people are forming a human shield. wow . with whether such that or moscow is quite an expensive city. you need money all the time. you can't do without a proper salary of buy it. i had a kind of agreement with my conscience that nothing bad was happening to store lewisville. let me just ask them when you press well, i just told everyone that don't watch tv because of them just turn it off. so there's many. so i had the feeling, oh, got that. i wasn't committing a crime. no, no. blushing a severe a system with the champagne. looking at the origin. i snomed somewhere. glutton start with the most im, court in western fake of this week e award kirkland which it russian air force is allegedly bombed in maternity clinic and mario paul murray or william with the russian embassy in london, had the onset of that. they were fake. and the women in the pictures were merely actors. it's the indeed pregnant beauty blog, marianna podcast sky. she actually played rolls of both pregnant women on the photos. after twitter took those traits down, rushes ambassador to the u. s. repay declined to the security council and not pull up on yet. it was clear that a hospital was bombed by yeah, has been known. and it was clear that many people were injured in that was submitted by natalie store, and that it was a rush inside that did it. this, that i'm now what's left to debate these films now. so see the vast majority of the people in russia understand what's going on there. if there was a maternity hospital bumped? if there was, there were these atrocities in boucher acute these might, these cases might be staged, but it is completely honest. i mean russians are not idiots. it's completely opposite. these things are happening at this war, which means that russian armies probably also involved in this war. this is the other way around. after that, it becomes absolutely clear that switch and size is no longer possible. we are all engaged in that now and we have to do night, right to the ent. now there is no way back. oh mon or to god. why? why did you with any of the valley? they said make a video that preferably without people in the picture or that the deal is my colleague and i tried that. yeah, i told him we need fewer people and he said, what pitcher can i take? there's no pitcher without people give is with her. tatiana lian over spreading disinformation was a burden. she posted photos on social media of the destruction in hockey and over ukrainian via me playing in a bunker. tuesday morning we woke up in another country. our lives will never be the same again. as long as glad as they called me and told me i was fired for extreme as boasts on social media. sit down on the banks. that was unacceptable. notes. i've seen the perceived law in the summer of 2022. he decided to leave the country with her husband and went to barcelona. they lived in jail, but you're constantly before us to commit a crime, but it's to play here. ear, um, worst thing is that many people rejoice in the fact that they're committing a crime assertion. but it's the blair. no normal debt on that. that's what horrified me the most in my world since the beginning of the world, though it in buckeye blur letter, which is robina. oh, the landscape is simple guy. someone like everyone else. someone who's using the immediate in the same way. maybe silly. maybe find me. ah, but someone who is wrangler. oh, i think it comes also from his own up legal platform, which was, i mean, in many respects a populist platform. he was a trying to attack the, the ukranian establishment. and now he carries it over to, to this war. these horizontal, our style of communication was on break of the people of invincible ukraine, free people of a free country, and strong people in the country made it illegally in the when your local channel even on college ran, which was on hold on a 2nd line. now we hand them grading is not resonant. zalinski is undoubtedly the top influencer in the world today would eat that, especially in the political sphere ordered. so i would say we major was moses cuz they didn't malik say, you see the president on a daily basis. so. busy stephanie, how would you describe his behavior in these days and weeks with any dig we might of the year when i came here a year and a half ago and saw him at 2 meetings, my opinion of him changed. i thought he was weak. an actor, i wasn't after the job, i tried to put a bug in school yesterday and he said, i'll pick up a machine gun fight. i can say without flattery. he's in ha element. oh lord, we doris 3. you won't swear used to she? no, almost a yes should be j. o. ukraine's 1st lady olean, as alaska is also part of the communications juggernaut. ah, she is communicating just like the president of ukraine, so many different channels to many different audiences depicting herself as a regular woman. she use also to sudden exten, the voice or of many families says the voice of people affected by this war, and i think she is doing it quite effectively. on her instagram channel, alaina's, ellen scrub hosts, glamour shots against the backdrop of war. does photoshop do? the photo, she is with elaine as the landscape, and i can see, lied, spots can travesia on his, on his halls, to a woman in a fashion magazine with the wo, as her backdrop, with an our creeks calissa i spoon that elicits dissonances and is perceived as performance, i have talked as a contradiction marked february quickly, but at the same time, the 2 of them had to use f. r means they can to raise awareness to generate attention to counter after the waning of empathy and attention. which does happen when a war drags on when it's something that's been the subject of psychological research . we have cold empathy fatigue, midday from swedish guard. the ukrainian media landscape also has its weaknesses, tv channels, around by oligarchs, and they wield influence over content. reporters without buddhist has criticized the ministry of defense for withdrawing accreditation from journalists who filmed the liberation of the city of house on without official military authorization. russia counted on capturing you grain within 5 days, but they had no idea who they wore up. asia ross, i still have the capacity to attack and not only again you grammar fallen mold over many, and the baltic stairs will become the next argus. if the freedom of your brain falls, and most of you, ma'am, he has to apply pressure to protect his people and that's his job as president should sign up for go. and perhaps it's a message delivered out of desperation and necessity when it cuts on myths and his in depth fastness to his persistence. ob, it's an expression of the fact that his door hasn't achieved his club house. you've read these rub on supplies. artillery cells won 52 millimeters as many as possible . multiple loans, rocket systems, grad snares or not, or, and one for to high mars mildred. air graphs must get to dip long our cities as if millions of your brain is as well as millions of your peers. freedom must be armed, better than gearing, western comfort have ever seen to make it happen. i st. z image off zalinski and offset office is a little bit. thank a shy st because who is really important today in this context is people ukrainian people in the end. it's inc, stream li, massive flex phenomena. it's very grassroots, everyone. everyone in the country participates in this war. oh, slow a national dog, glory to a brave u armed forces that russia victory, ah, fairly 2 months off to invading its neighbour, russia celebrated victory day with its annual military parade. the may, 9th holiday commemorates the soviet victory of nazi germany in world war 2. the idea of course, is once again the projection of or force the idea that of the victory d. so it literally says, congratulated with the victory it projects force victory means force. and oftentimes you will see in russia, those little stickers saying we can repeat that, meaning that we would like this to happen once again. and we'll take revenge, implying, in a very reared way that we actually lost this war. so we are now in need of revenge . let's switch the cranium. some one has done them, can only bring the black and white is their eternal february. our golden words devalued. he needs them zoology slow. unfortunately, ukraine knows the answers to all these questions that she is up with during their 2 years of occupation at this. they will, the nazis kill 10000 civilians in mario po that the by miss in too much of occupation. if russia has killed 20000 decades after world war 2, little darkness has returned to have ukraine wouldn't all evil has returned, but in all as small in a different form using different slogans into about with the same goals. my boy, a bloody reconstruction of naziism was staged in ukraine, not some fanatical repetition of this regime. it when it's ideas, actions, words and symbols. so um, a theme well, so obviously what we're seeing here is that an skia against the background of the destroyed buildings. and he is main message is that should be never repeated, it should never happen again. never again is the slogan. so the easiest way to summarize this contrast is we can repeat in russia versus never again in ukraine regarding this same the same holiday. and then ask is never tired of emphasizing this message because he doesn't want these to happen. ukraine, he doesn't want a ukrainian army, for instance, a to the glorious in defeat in russians. he, this is not his message. she that he wants these 2 and he wants this to be over. he doesn't want that these to be repeated. so meaning that ukraine army is forced now to do the things that ukrainians wouldn't want to do. that war is unwelcome here and this a set of cores in stark contrast to the russian case where war is very welcome. oh ukrainian soldier miroslav. l hahn is on fellow 2 days that the young married couple can spend together on tick tock, middle south posts about his experiences in the war. he's one of many young ukrainians who in spring 2022 turned the tick tock, social media platform into war. talk over even now on leave. he keeps returning to the images of war on his cell phone, which is 4 can will for us. oh, laugh because i used to use tick tock for fun. i'm posting pictures from boxing training for matches. so you have a few gags, things with your friends, the interest that you're more thank you for calling her friends about prison. when the war broke out, i started filming awesome military vehicles, which were and how we work on my vehicle. definitely easier them. that's how it is all more stop. ah, i think many actually sense these are disconnection between hawes, the platform itself, kansas genre in which the kick dock videos are filmed with the content. and the content is horrific because the content is very adult. as a content is curious. so part of his popularity is precisely to me has to do was this contradiction of disco relation between this platform and the content there. ah, you almost when we met like this a month of war had passed and i got bored of it. awesome. and i registered on by 2 to 3 days later, she writes a mountain that was all summer. i am march 21st. so on the 22nd he said, now you're going to be my wife. i'm going to have a son at madison middle one and i want 5 kids. everything all at one which is but we had never seen each other. not even on face. and i noticed nichol. i had only talked on the phone the entire time on that is more valuable result. but the one show them that what i might be higher for 2 or 3 days or not for 2 months, forced to shit again. there's this to, it's very hard when they're not, shall come in at mccarthy us when the war came. i thought if i die, so be it, and butcher, and the nicotine, as if it was, i didn't want to live any more to die of old age. and i wanted a hero's death when i came to brag, restart harrison from that. i could be useless. believe one question. always the last. we post photos from training all the time, what get but rarely from the battlefield. while he was at most after we've left in the amazon there while we're still, they're fighting, we don't post anything with domains as if we weren't there at all. and like japan as panama, my days now by the usa. they pay a visit to mirror slabs, parents, issues this with them did version one on this little to where the donors was. i think about it all the time of our, from a civil them with my son, and i send each other a smiley in the morning. a barbara. that means we're all right. my. like a lot of the same in the evening. all that means we're still alive. oh, sure. ah, with phillip williams are shibel over starboard site, that many political observers refer to this war as the tick tock war because it's the 1st european war to take place in the air. social media is, was on an, especially on tick tock, you know, young ukrainians use tech talk to after glimpses of their everyday lives. during war telling allison i was a been what's most all but there was a user to communicate. and of course to process this wall of pain and fear that they obviously feel, ah, ah, ah, my you the ashley lock then area session. ugh, a tick tock. her who used to be a classic influencer, with some trouble blogging. the classic tick, tock, aesthetic and humans. who can i am tick tock from. i had picked up channel valerie, she has about 25000000 views for her war videos of kinks. videos won't when she's made many videos that have gone viral after with that, if you guys with the go to now and, oh, i mean with, in, for fun you about with what's interesting is how uses intuitively employ narrative structures. so with protagonist antagonism ruptures and punch lines and surprising huffman to come here. and here we have the antagonist fusion that what he intended to do with ukraine spirit destroy 1st image, destroy as by bonds, thus was grant. this is smiley, but i think is fundamental illustrates the kind of ironic defiance that young ukrainians are adopting a lever on food. they have no other way to respond to the school, which is as absurd as it is incomprehensible to them, than with irony or sarcasm or castles. sophia, i 5 as by a spirit, is the 2nd example. what is life like in a bunker in an air raid shelter? i'm valerie shows the public what this was like levant and that are relevant on a global level because it can also explain the dynamic of solidarity, the online solidarity that has developed quite well. oh, we are the multinational people of the russian federation industry for united by a common destiny, genuinely oh, even putins, more traditional brand. if propaganda is looking for new outlets. senior clutch, cova is a journalist who researched the phenomenon of paid internet trolls for the online newspaper. fund tanka, to better for cyber front c as a movement whose members identify themselves as information warrior. she applied to join putin cyber trips and spent a day there under cover. good evening. were looking for people in st. petersburg. what's the salary? is there an interview? salaries, $45000.00 roubles a month, there is an interview on the premier, losing the rule. order for exam with another light is dream of church and speech. after losing the key stadium rules, you have to leave hearts in the home of the letter z and the color of the russian flanagan letter. chelsea scro flogger by you dude was for the glory of russia, doug, about how it was then back that you how it is today and how it will remind you that spicy. uh huh. yes, this did you. i followed how things were developing at cyber friend ridge and then i saw an ad online for a discussion hello resources which i was curious about what was happening there to install campers. when the regular discussion events are designed to give the impression of an amateur political debate club, the guests, so surprisingly, international, some even come from western europe. putin's youth movement is rising to the challenge. nasa with mahogany, that my name is dimitri. nikolai average my of what's happening on the moderator of the cyber frenzy platform. i'm also a member of the extended expert council on culture in the youth parliament of the state dumont, would you like both. i can see who steering the ukranian state and where they want to take it. when you cut them, they are deliberately breeding nazis with only one thing in mind to kill russia, to kill russians by them. when we had to respond, will that be after the start of the special operation? what's left? western intelligence agencies launched a huge, fierce information attack on us. so we as citizens were forced to organize ourselves in will, you will have been burst. we launched the telegram channel, cyber front z allow, which launched the fight against this information and what it was flagrant for the success of ukrainian online grassroots messaging is apparently forcing the kremlin to follow suit. cyber front z styles itself is a network of volunteers. it's the latest division of putin stroll army, which 1st made the news in 2003. these young russians get paid to attack any one who criticizes the kremlin online. oh. in april 2022, a task force stormed. the apartment of alleged would be assassins from ukraine. their supposed target was vladimir. sylvia of oregon, the mm hm. she had a federal security service, has stopped the activities of a terrorist group plan to attack and murder, a famous rosmer tv journalist. no, what is, is yours? no crises. get you on the list. oh you know, you find that the apartment where we observe the capture of ah a ma'am. you also see f fantastic. collection of props that explain cause out alleged nazi is ah, who's murder was being planned for the murder of people who spread propaganda. so all of the of key selling office, scabby over for your bottle and so forth. awesome. once again, vladimir sylvia played a key role in russia's propaganda machine. this time as the a sensible victim of an assassination attempt made public by putin himself. that performance was designed to lend credence to the claim that ukraine is controlled by nazis and so open and the scope. so this complete picture all saw is set to persuade sol. nobody has any doubts. these are nazi and they wanted to kill ah sullivan off. ah yes, the lobby of apparently there was an attempt to either rape or kill him. i didn't quite understand some of you of them. if we had the opportunity to take out a target in moscow, it probably wouldn't be sol of yoga middle before noon, obviously. but almost as far as i know, everyone who works in the minneapolis were coming thinks that soul of yours, a joke, was in motion. that's for sure. you are do william yet i'm not surprised or gets in line with nancy logic to murder jewish journalists. that's how the followers of the ukrainian collaborator, bon dera, operator, pretty wish them learning much. littleton, everybody knows that everybody lights. and basically this is the main message that are put. his propaganda has been delivering of those 22 years. everybody lights including us, of course, of course, with, with where line to you. everybody lies to every one. this is how humans, sir. communicate with the show. oh ah, whether he's in this week, former georgia in security minister ego gail gatzo, posted classified records online about the development of biological and chemical weapons, and us laboratories near the russian border. so i see the story of secret weapons laughs in ukraine is not new. in 2018, tatiana leanne nova produced an entire documentary on the subject of a russian television. yet another man by then i was quite experienced. slay. this was in. yeah, i was working as a news editor mainly on international stories. the i'm a flip was gear up this alice nazarene. is that on the by yes. or that what the man we were told to do her poor on secret biological laboratories, road baptized law. cigna aetna, beulah blah oliver at boy gum redial. the fables normally talking being hunted down in britain, americans have set up a secret laboratory network to develop bio weapons. they may already be testing them on our territory with an investigation bias mazda, exclusively for renovating. we are under russia has a long history of lying about biological weapons going all the way back to the soviet iraq. the claim that ukraine maintained secret bio weapons, laboratories was little more than disinformation intended to justify invading a neighboring country. it's only secret. yes. the law, it's no secret to don't the station heads go to the kremlin on thursdays for a briefing blank all after that i am. some guy comes in throw something on your desk. will you see is lisa died. wow. with uncovered secret lab said no, but i thought it that then you go film some crazy idiots telling you some sort of rubbish are found and you've got a sensational investigation in your pocket that voices as though that'll slithered the show me the forbidden experiments are only a small part of the revelations from former georgia security, wednesday, eagle gail got gums, one of the key ideas about those kind of alleged threats generated and manufactured in the bio labs where that it has to do something with ah, as the new city. right. so somehow it's only gives threshold, so somehow it's targets precisely. so it is the kind of it taps into particular vulnerability or fear about the smiths off produced virus. it's focused on ukraine where there is a network of bio centers. you answered invest in 200000000 dollar design. my asked all sorts of experts for comment in moscow. they all turned me down. yeah. they said i'd gone crazy last year. and what are you talking about? young lady mosquitoes, the fire weapons and the bar tree that he gave me. but i thought we but this time we confirm the facts uncovered during the special military operation in crania, fork them a doris vigorously showed that the cave regime is getting rid of any trills of oil . a terri biological programs conducted with us funding he wrong. but he financed you to when you said you knowledge that i needed you young? yes, our sales manager, i began to realize it wasn't a joke to jelly. we produced terrible things that got stuck in people's heads up and then they believed it to proceed with the war. and he was misled. v ah ah ah, ah sh the surrender of the as of regiment in mary you. paul was a gold mine for russian propagandists founded in 2014 as of was a volunteer militia with ties to the far right which russia used to bolster its claim that it was engaged in a fight against nazis. but according to the scientific services of the bundle tag, an impartial organisation that serves as a kind of fact checker for the german parliament. this is reality distorting propaganda. do you boy new teacher who and a half 1000 chosen what go we'll show you now? chosen with rifles daily. i don't want to swear of dogs or which not in a single you though. beep booth. i don't want to swear valleys. j surrendered yesterday early thursday. and like rat sack coolies on, bass has the right to seek the trial of nazi criminal you food movement since gimme a british company can that he will know. doors good did. he will now should we want to get put in a gift, and the last gift for a ruler is the head of his enemy to go. though the news you really want to, let's see if they can not city the as all battalion. and just one of many battalions, regiments of the ukrainian army isn't non ideological, irregular army unit. it had some kind all the history. but at this moment it functioned completely as a non ideological group. just know that's i'm, i'm glad that i get a job in 60 minutes. headline compello dear friends, comrade at the as i feel plan to mario, pull the neo nazi there being loaded onto a bus with a letter z on it. the wounded will be taken to nova as hospital the rest are being taken to a prison camp in yellow north premier donuts. where, according to us propaganda like cnn, they will be arbitrarily tortured and killed every one of them. even though the sky be the anchor is assumed debunking his accusations. but the human message to the very heated and mil dressed audience is that of course they will be tortured and killed. and that's actually something we cannot tell you directly, but we hope that it will happen. and we're sure you, that we will do anything possible for it to happen. so we'd kind of worst on 2 levels. what norm here is, tory is pre trial detention center, yellow. norfolk and here are the prisoners in mac vitamins at the school. they were given medical care, one even had surgery to get warm clothes, regular meals will coordinate on one level. it denies the fact, but on the different level, it admits this fact. it's also a very naive stick technique because the idea of course is that he's find to torture and kill people. we just need to deny it all the time. and so you should be doing both because if you denied in a different manner and normally, i mean, if you are denying something, you wouldn't do it in this way. you would do it in a different way, like trying to, to demonstrate how to, how different our attitude to these people is, ah, why we're not inclined to, to do that to them. so this is not the normal way for a human being to deny something. what this does, human is ation and demonization extends to the whole ukrainian population. because at 1st the russian state media spoke about that particular battalion being a group of nazi and now ukrainian means nazi or this is yes, this is russell. jesse share arrives and intimidate them for you on population of target because there was no air siren. no, a lord. i have been to the liberator. we little rock over, which is on the way from hard give to, is doom about 70 kilometers. it was under russian occupation for more than 6 months . us and it is heavily mind and the people there are clearly traumatized because what happened is when the invasion of started and when this village was occupied. this is a location in the recently liberated is zoom. ross from thrilled through station in her role as a journalist, maria of diva reports on the impact of the russian occupation. in so doing, she becomes an eye witness to russian terror. her reports on the torture and murder of ukrainian civilians support the ukrainian narrative as a modern day fight of david versus goliath. reports such as these increased pressure on the west to continue supplying ukraine with weapons. as a grassroots reporter, i've deva is determined to shed light on the reality of the russian occupation 10 waterman barons. they took me to the edge of the village saying you're going to dig yourself grave now just really. yeah, i'm what they scared me. like a whole lot more mass graves were found. ne, is you. the terra uncovered by maria of deva also serves the purpose for russia. the brutal violence is a tool, a form of propaganda that tells ukrainians in no uncertain terms what will happen to them if they don't comply among the many types of propaganda? this is one of the most terrible north. yeah. across with the island as alyssa law, there was 2nd world war left its mark on those who lived through it or was supposed to read no, but a short. and the trauma has been passed down to later generations. i said, look somewhat octo what people went through here for will also reverberate across the generations. her virtual shoppers, lulu the for now any hope of healing from the trauma is a distant prospect to in ukraine. media and communication are still in wartime mode. unlike russia, it does not rely on deliberate disinformation. but while ukraine does not spread deliberate falsehoods, information is often provided selectively or not at all. for example, ukraine only rarely releases figures on military casualties. and then only when it appears to be strategically useful. mm. speculation about where the war is headed is everywhere. it was good. i'll tell you what's coming at this time. it's not a sad prediction to believe idiots. you have no idea how to fight so little continued hastening the collapse of the russian army and society of mazda in one day. the old brig deluxe. on january the 14th 2023, a russian missile hit a residential building in the city of the new pro. more than 40 people were killed . near where you alexey at a store, which claimed that the missile had fallen on the building after it was shut down by the ukrainian air defense. though that was soon refuted, russian propagandist seized on this statement to blame ukraine at a stove which his remark provoked to widespread criticism at home. 3 days later, he announced his resignation as presidential adviser. meanwhile, putin's mouthpiece is pulling out all the stops at an event for russia's young, elite, vladimir, sylvia of exhorted them to be ready to go to war with the delaware. will we win or the him, the groom you who needs a world without russia in it? because almost, but that's what our president said before, murias low, the world has 2 options. fuel him over to the 1st is that we, when after we move when they won't like the 2nd one, i have it in mac of another good to now is the time when you should be getting ready to a new speed. because before you know it, you'll have to take real responsibility and response to what now might seem like fun and games limbs. he just couldn't and stand side by side with our heroes through it. when you're old enough. with up with that it was new culture, ukraine, and russia. a war that she's also being waged on the digital battle failed to a propaganda war. that both countries are determined to win. hey with with wow, growing up in mongolia. 0 boscoe is 10 years old and to love life in the gobi desert. oh, me. but she has a dream calling her to leave everything
