The Comparison of Russian Propaganda: From the Years 1917–1921 to Nowadays
-
Anhelina Bulanova
Abstract
In the study, the author analyses the main features of Russian propaganda spread in Ukraine during the Ukrainian revolution of 1917-1921 and today. It is acknowledged that modern Russian propaganda is directed against Ukrainian statehood. The Bolsheviks` propaganda of 1917-1921 was also directed against the independence of Ukraine. The main common features of propaganda of both periods are: manipulation of public opinion, dissemination of false news in order to discredit the Ukrainian government, misrepresentation of historical facts, control over the media and more. The Bolsheviks used propaganda as a way to wage war against the Ukrainian government. Modern Russian propaganda is an integral part of the information war against Ukraine. The clichés that Russian agitators copied from the Bolsheviks are aimed to misinform not only Ukrainians, but the entire world community.
