Putin Would Have Won

On the Efficiency of Disinformation

When Putin was relying more on disinformation for political leverage than military means, he was arguably winning. And if he continued to use disinformation he probably would have won over the hearts of Eastern Europeans eventually.

In my home country alone, Slovakia, about 50% of our citizens are on Putin’s side in the war. And these numbers are not reserved to my country.

Putin’s disinformation campaigns have reached Latin America and Africa.
