1944: Tallinn “Liberated” by the Red Army – Were the ‘Liberators’ Given Flowers or Shot At?
This year, Russian propaganda attempted to generate interest in the anniversary of the “liberation of Tallinn” by publishing previously classified archival documents. In the beginning of Lieutenant General Holodov’s report, Tallinn residents are depicted welcoming the Red Army with flowers, but by the third page, it is revealed that “in the first two days following the liberation of Tallinn by our troops, there were incidents where our commanders and soldiers were shot at from around corners and from windows. In Paide, a Red Army tankist was shot dead near one of the houses.”
Kersti Kaljulaid: The Kursk operation was also successful on the communication front.
Former President of Estonia Kersti Kaljulaid analyzes Ukraine’s successes and setbacks in communication this year in an interview with Propastop. “The communicative success of the Kursk operation may lie in the fact that Ukrainian forces are on Russian territory, and no nuclear threat has emerged,” Kaljulaid notes.
Escalation of the Conflict Around the Estonian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate: Information War Heats Up
Propastop review: Orthodox believers are being frightened by rumors that the Estonian authorities are allegedly preparing to forcibly close the Estonian Orthodox Church, which is under the jurisdiction of the Moscow Patriarchate.
Kremlin’s Grip on Moldova: Criminal Oligarchs and Church Sway Elections
On October 20, Moldova will simultaneously hold presidential elections and a referendum on joining the European Union. The Kremlin is attacking pro-European President Maia Sandu with the help of oligarch Ilan Shor, who stole one billion dollars from the banks of the impoverished small nation, and the Orthodox Church. Today, Propastop describes how the elections are being influenced.
A Brief Guide to Estonian War Bloggers
Propastop analyzed four of the most well-known war bloggers: Igor Taro, Teet Kalmus, Rainer Saks, and Artur Rehi.
We focused on the sources of information the blogger uses, the media environment in which they operate, their primary motivation, and the style of the blog—whether they simply relay information or attempt to create a mood.
Note! The analysis also reveals interesting sources of information that these war bloggers use on a daily basis.
Television Series as a Tool in Information Warfare: Depicting China’s Invasion of Taiwan
A recently released TV series, produced with the support of the Taiwanese government, has garnered worldwide attention. It portrays the invasion of Taiwan, a country with 23 million people, by China, a nation of 1.4 billion. Taiwan’s example has raised the question on Propastop: is it also reasonable for Estonia to create its own warning series about a possible Russian invasion?
Disinformation Case in England: Misinformation Sparks Nationwide Unrest
The nationwide unrest in the United Kingdom following the murder of three girls demonstrated how the spread of misinformation can trigger a political crisis. Propastop takes a closer look at the chain of events.
The Kremlin’s propaganda failed to relaunch the Narva tank
Kremlin-affiliated propaganda attempted to exploit the tank that was removed from Narva two years ago. Patriotic organizers made a considerable profit from their project, but the promised impact has once again fallen flat.
