The meeting took place as a part of the project of the Kyiv School of Diplomatic Arts – Countering Fake Histories in International Politics and Propaganda.

This project’s mission is to explore the ways that may help to neutralize those politicized quasi-historical discourses that are employed in the attempts to justify the acts of aggression, land grabs, the subjugation of other nations, or similar actions detrimental to the international order.

The case of the Kremlin’s flows of such disinformation is something the global community simply cannot ignore…

The webinar’s audience embraced the faculty members and students of 12 Ukrainian universities, as well as their counterparts from several other countries, including Georgia, Turkey, India, the Czech Republic, Finland, Norway, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America.
