Zusammenfassung
  • The Russian Crisis is a series of policy papers focusing on the implications of the serious crises conditioned by the events in and around present-day Russia. While the Russian full-scale invasion of sovereign Ukraine in 2022 has provoked a massive military crisis, it points to even broader challenges. Russia creates crises because it entered a crisis state itself and became the focal point of several global crises. This series provides inputs to understanding the situation within Russia and situates it in a larger political context. The aim of the papers is to chart grounded strategies of crisis management and resolution, providing policymakers with insights on Russian politics and ways for thinking ahead.
    This paper is devoted to the mechanisms, know Putin’s propaganda works and manages to acquire people of different information bubbles, audiences, social contexts and positions. The author stresses that the intrinsic complexity and inconsistency of Putin's loyal audience is often downplayed or completely ignored. Hence, also the reasons of the war and its meaning has no single explanation for all Russians, which could be refuted by a set of facts.
