This book examines the ways in which Russia and Belarus use disinformation, "weaponised" historical narratives, and the politics of memory for domestic and foreign policy purposes, utilising these factors to justify aggressive foreign policy in defensive terms and, domestically, for legitimating local ruling elites, consolidating the states' propaganda machines, and mobilising both societies around national power centres. Besides analysing Russian and Belarusian disinformation, geopolitical narratives, and policies, the book also assesses the effectiveness of these measures and discusses how the West can counteract the geopolitical narratives disseminated by Russia and Belarus that attempt to undermine Western democracies and weaken the resilience of its societies.
This book is topical, authoritative, insightful and comprehensive. It outlines the origins and mechanisms of Russia and Belarusian disinformation campaigns. It explains how they work - and how we can counter them. Anyone interested in the freedom and security of the free world should read it.
Edward Lucas, fmr. senior editor, The Economist, author Deception and The New Cold War
This timely book adds to our understanding of the growing threat of disinformation, especially from Russia and Belarus. Societies can only properly respond to information environment threats if there is a thorough knowledge of the myths and false narratives seeking to undermine our societies. The book's insights make for compelling read for all countering disinformation practitioners from national administrations and international organisations to academia and the think tank community; forewarned is forearmed.
Baiba Braze, NATO Assistant Secretary General for Public Diplomacy
In order to address disinformation, we need to understand it on a deeper level. This book gives us exactly that, and more, offering an insightful perspective of how disinformation and propaganda became the intricate tools to advance the agendas of both Russian and Belarusian regimes. A must-read for all willing to profoundly understand the threat of today.
Martyna Bildziukiewicz, Head of East Stratcom Task Force, European External Action Service
The authors demonstrate with intellectual rigour that in the hands of authoritarian states such as Russia and Belarus, disinformation is more than a social evil; it is a tool of warfare seeking to undermine democratic institutions and polarise our societies into political disorder. The authors back up their analysis with extensive research, deep knowledge and the use of concrete examples that expose the techniques and strategies that Russia and Belarus are using today to weaken the West, and that other adversaries will undoubtedly seek to emulate tomorrow. This is why this book is so valuable and so timely. All those concerned with the health of democracy and the liberal society should put it at the top of their reading list - and then resolve to take action along the lines that this book usefully recommends.
