Inroads for Russian Influence in the Media Landscapes of Neighboring States

“Inroads for Russian Influence in the Media Landscapes of Neighboring States" is a timely look at the proliferation of Russian war narratives in the context of the current war in Ukraine. It functions primarily as a tool to provide crucial background research for the Russian Media Observation and Reporting (RuMOR) project, based out of the Institute of European, Russian, and Eurasian Studies. Looking at the domestic media landscapes of four of Russia's neighboring states, it seeks to understand what present weaknesses create room for Russian media influence to take root.
