If only. Russian propaganda is hamfisted, direct and not very effective. It's magical efficiency is perpetuated in the West in order to demonize Russia.
If Russian propaganda was that good and effective, Ukraine would still be ruled by Russian-friendly elite and the country would have joined some sort of Russia led economic bloc instead of rushing towards EU and NATO.
Alas, Russian propaganda sucks, at least compared to what USA has to offer.
- sergeykish 5y agoRF TV is state controlled for 20 years. In Ukraine it is not. Up until a few months ago collaborant TV channels worked in Ukraine. Actually RF propaganda is quite good at portraing Ukraine as fascist state, West as evil, USA as falling apart. It is good enough for Putin to be elected president, and it is much better than Belarus propaganda. Regarding Ukraine, it is good enough that some people support RF no matter Crimea occupation and 8 years proxy war.
- fpoling 5y agoRussia propaganda is effective because it managed to make people to believe very big lies. Even in Ukraine some people believe it despite the realities of war. Propaganda from USA does not need to stretch the truth anywhere near the same scale and with that it is much more easier to affect more people.
