Russian propaganda destroyed my family. - The Russian Dude
May 22, 2023
Propaganda is one of the strongest weapons that governments have during conflict times. And these are not only military related conflicts. These can be even just the basic existence. Because as soon as the government is threatened, the easiest way to unite people and bring back their trust is by creating an artificial external enemy. Most of the times, they don't care about the cost. Even if it means breaking families apart.
