In this episode of the Expert Series, we convene three of Canada’s foremost experts on Russian disinformation. We are joined by Dr. Paul Goode, McMillian Chair of Russian Studies and Associate Professor at Carleton University’s Institute of European, Russian, and Eurasian Studies; Dr. Maria Popova, Professor of Political Science at McGill University; and Marcus Kolga, Director and Founder of DisinfoWatch and Fellow at the CDA Institute for our conversation on this topical and timely issue.
Discussing how recent developments in the Ukraine War have shifted narratives surrounding the conflict, we consider the implications of the Ukrainian Army’s incursion into Kursk in particular. It has had wide-reaching implications for this issue within Russia, in Europe, and further afield. What this means for the Putin regime’s power projection in the region in the coming months is increasingly uncertain.
