Sensational miniseries about disinformation: how Russian propaganda affects Ukrainians

A miniseries was filmed in Ukraine, which reveals the impact of Russian propaganda and information and psychological operations (IPSO) on the everyday life of Ukrainians. The project consists of five series, in which viewers will be able to recognize themselves or their loved ones through simulated life situations.

Influence of hyperbolized news on mature people

The series shows how hyperbolized news can affect adults, forcing them to change their beliefs and actions. This phenomenon is often used by Russian propagandists for manipulation.

How Russian music erodes Ukrainian culture

A separate episode is devoted to the influence of Russian music, which finances the war, on Ukrainian culture. Music is becoming a powerful tool for erasing national identity, especially among young people.

Deepfakes of presidential addresses

Is it possible to trust what you see on the screen? The series includes an episode about deepfakes of presidential addresses, which create the illusion of reality and make people doubt the veracity of official information.

Hostile informational suggestion to children through video games

Another important aspect covered in the series is informational suggestion to children through video games. Enemies use this method to influence the consciousness of the youngest Ukrainians, shaping their worldview in a direction beneficial to them.

"Many Ukrainians still do not realize how strongly Russian propaganda and IPSO influence them. Active informational influence has been exerting on us since 2014: information bubbles, bot farms, the soft power of culture - all these are effective weapons in the war against Ukrainians." - explains the initiator of the project Bohdan Tymoshchuk.

All-star cast and professional actors

Famous personalities joined the filming, including Masha Efrosinina, Timur and Inna Miroshnychenko, Natalia Ostrovska, Anatoly Anatolich, Yula and Yugen Pronin. Their roles will help viewers to better understand and experience how manipulation can affect their lives.

This miniseries was an important step in the fight against misinformation and manipulation. It not only exposes the problem, but also provides tools for understanding and countering it.
