Russia’s war against Ukraine, as well as the annexation of Crimea, would not be possible without dehumanizing Kremlin propaganda that paints Ukrainians as "fascists" and "monsters." Russia’s current propaganda is similar to Soviet propaganda as President Vladimir Putin recycles similar rhetoric and symbols for today’s war.
These were some of the main themes brought forward by speakers at a conference entitled “The Seduction of Propaganda: Mass Violence in Ukraine in the 20th and 21st Centuries.”
It was held on June 2-3 in Kyiv and June 4 in Lviv, organized by the Ukrainian Jewish Encounter, which seeks to promote understanding between the two peoples.
