STRIKING BACK

Disinformation by Russia and its allies has increased sharply in the past decade, but Western responses have been weak and uncoordinated. Thomas Kent, the former president of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, proposes an energetic new strategy: aggressive messaging to combat Russian information operations, while promoting the values of democracy.

Dezinformarea Rusiei si a aliatilor sai a crescut brusc in ultimul deceniu, dar raspunsurile occidentale au fost slabe si necoordonate. Majoritatea tarilor democratice s-au bazat pe masuri defensive, cum ar fi cursurile de alfabetizare media si presiunea asupra retelelor sociale pentru a sterge conturile controlate de Kremlin.
