Post-Truth and Post-Elections in Belarus

24 June 2020

Olga Kevere

The most well-known influence operations by the Kremlin are in the fields of disinformation and election interference.

Blurring the concept of truth, the tasks of journalism and turning the information field into competing narratives are the target of deliberate activities. This has been dubbed post-truth and appeared even before the Kremlin’s large-scale operations.

However, as a result of large-scale actions in the area of information, post-truth has turned out to be most closely associated with the work of Kremlin technocrats.

If we look at the history of Kremlin interference in the elections of other countries, we find that the first teams for such operations appeared immediately after the first colour revolutions.
