    Russia's Propaganda Tactics Exposed: A Study by RAND Corporation

    A RAND Corporation study, funded by the U.S. Department of State, analyzed over 42 million social media posts to examine the spread of extreme narratives linked to the war in Ukraine, focusing on Russian propaganda's use of 'denazification' as a justification for invasion. The study found that while Russian propaganda reaches multilingual audiences, its influence is not uniform or unlimited. The most aggressive accounts often struggle to gain significant resonance, while pro-Ukrainian accounts show greater activity and challenge Russian narratives. The study also highlights the complex nature of modern information warfare and the importance of access to verified information in countering extremist propaganda.
