How Russian propaganda has been forced to evolve | It’s Complicated

Ever since Vladimir Putin took office, he has tried to maintain a tight grip on Russian media, and this grip has grown even tighter since the war in Ukraine. Subscribe to The Guardian on YouTube ► http://bit.ly/subscribegdn

But as Putin’s ‘special operation’ took a turn for the worse, the Kremlin’s propaganda machine was forced to adapt. Thanks to the work of BBC monitoring journalist Francis Scarr, Josh Toussaint-Strauss explores how Russian state media has evolved its messaging since the start of the war.

  1. eh alot of this is bull, russia hasnt changed, its just that western media outlets like a few i cant mention here whom are funded by russian oligarchs have been forced to actually give a dam and the mainstream are largely still failing to challenge and enlight. speaking as someone with direct access to russian internal sources rather than guardians currated onces.

  2. I spent my childhood there, I read my first serious book in Russian, I have many relatives that are still there and despite all of that,I am actively disgusted by it. It's a vile, cynical, disgusting place. I hate it at a level I did not know I could hate a country

  3. blah blah – The Obama administration actually started the war in Ukraine "we had brokered a deal to transition power in Ukraine" – Obama to CNN on February 1st, 2015, CNN Press room archives)

  4. Wow they seem to have more freedom of expression in terms of criticism unlike the uk where the deepest criticism of certain policies or people could be dangerous if done the wrong way like the NHS or Ukrainians

  5. We live great. We have both public and private media. Unlike Western countries, foreign TV channels are not banned in Russia! Our social networks do not block the Western press, unlike YouTube or Twitter. Can you stop being a hypocrite?

  6. We really have to admire the raw intelligence and sheer force of will from everyone contributing to such ideological domination.
    😄 American politicians have always been envious lol
