As speakers, experts such as the Eastern Europe historian Franziska Davies href = "https://www.meinbezirk.at/event/neubau/c-literatur-buch/die-neue-macht-der-luegen_e1483049"> Konstantin Kaiser , the political scientist Martin Malek and the author Oksana stavroou with their insights. The event is moderated by Sonja Pleßl that celebrates her birthday on this day and asks for donations for a rehabilitation center in Ukraine. Ms. Stavrou plans to personally bring the collected donations to Ukraine in July.

disinformation in the age of conflicts

The big question about disinformation, which is not only discussed by the event, affects the current war in Ukraine. According to a comprehensive analysis of Rand , Russia has spread massive amounts of misinformation that are directed against numerous target groups, including Ukrainians and western nations. These practices not only provide for a stricter propaganda, but also the strategic use of social media and fake websites to manipulate and influence specific information.

A study by the Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD) shows that the war management has been greatly intensified since the Russian invasion in February 2022. Even if the state media in the West have lost influence, they are still active in other regions such as the Middle East or Latin America. The propagandists have developed a sense of how they can instrumentalize human fears, for example before migration or economic descent, for their purposes in order to promote a certain agenda. The ISD warns of the long -term effects of these measures on the liberal world order and emphasizes the need for watchful action within western societies.

common responsibility and commitment

The event in the district museum of Neubau is not only a discussion about science, but also a call to support Ukraine in the fight against disinformation. The collected funds that come together through the celebrations and the event should do specific good. In times when the spread of misinformation about social networks and other channels assumes worrying proportions, the exchange of knowledge and information is more important than ever.
