RUSINFORM
The Consequences of the Internet for Russia's Informational Influence Abroad
The Consequences of the Internet for Russia’s Informational Influence Abroad (RUSINFORM) is a five-year project (2019-2024) funded by the European Research Council (ERC). It investigates how, and with what consequences, new Internet-based technologies have contributed to the emergence of novel resources, techniques and processes by which political Russian elites can influence media audiences abroad.
