Russia Today and the name of its main editor Margarita Simonyan have beenin the ears of all who is interested in the Russian media and politics. Having appeared as an instrument of Russian ‘soft power’, this TV company has very quickly transformed itself into an aggressive weapon of propaganda, directed at the societies of West Europe, USA, and the Middle East, where it has very quickly found its supporters. How has it happened and what do we need to know to understand how this media works?

This event will take place in person on լƵ campus. The exact location will be shared with ticket holders.
