It is dangerous for the Kremlin if the Russian population obtains information about the war in Ukraine from foreign sources, the director of the NATO Center for Strategic Communications Excellence Jānis Sārts tells LETA.
“The Kremlin had a plan to wage another kind of war, but Russian society is not ready for what is happening in Ukraine now. The Kremlin needed to create an alternative reality.” explains Pink.
He noted that for the Russian people, who had long believed in the Kremlin’s propaganda on Russian channels, different views and acceptance of another world would mean destroying their views, which would be a fair turn in the future in the neighboring country.
“It’s about it – if you put an even tighter lid on a pressurized boiler, the pressure in the boiler will be higher and the boiler is more likely to explode. When that happens, we can’t say that,” says Sarts.
