Description:
In today’s video, we take a look at how Russian society reacted to the recent events in the Kursk region. Apart from looking at the responses of Russians directly affected by the Ukrainian invasion of Russia, we also look at Russian media and how they are attempting to create a favourable narrative for the Kremlin, despite the situation on the ground of the ongoing war with Ukraine showing that Russians in the Kursk region are panicking and fleeing from the region.

How was the Ukrainian invasion narrated in the Russian media and in social media? Did the propaganda attack the West this time? And why are Russians asking Putin directly for help instead of their local authorities?

Our Russian expert, Katarzyna Chawryło, answers this and other questions in our analysis of Russian propaganda media and social media news on the situation in Kursk now.
