Join Harvard's Davis Center in conversation with the Atlantic and Air Mail's Andrew Ryvkin for a discussion on the complex nature of contemporary Russian war propaganda. 

How does the Kremlin sell Putin, the war in Ukraine, and the erosion of freedoms in the age of the attention economy? Modern Russian propaganda is much more than angry talk-show hosts waving missiles on TV or troll farms flooding social media. It’s influencers, streaming platforms, and marketing campaigns that promote the Kremlin’s agenda, just as Nike advertises its sneakers. This talk will explore how the Kremlin’s information apparatus no longer relies solely on agitprop and censorship, but rather functions like a slick media conglomerate that seamlessly blends state messaging with pop culture.
