The episode "Media" from the cycle "The Big Russian Lie" demonstrates the key role of mass media in achieving the goals of Russian propaganda both inside Russia and in the world in general.
A retrospect of the purges of the media space after Vladimir Putin came to power makes it clear how the Russian information world became what it is today. "There is no truth," Kremlin propagandists are trying to convince everyone, masquerading as independent mass media. Even the so-called liberal Russian media, which are considered oppositional, condemn the Russian invasion of Ukraine and work from Europe, use Kremlin narratives and play along with Putin's propaganda.
The speakers of the episode are:
- British writer and journalist Peter Pomerantsev;
- The Guardian correspondent Luke Harding;
- writer, author of the NATO report on the Russian information war, Kier Giles;
- Lyubov Tsybulska, an expert on countering hybrid threats;
- Svitlana Slipchenko, head of the VOX CHECK project;
- media expert, founder of the Ukrainian Institute of Media and Communication Diana Dutsyk;
- candidate of historical sciences, public history researcher Anton Lyagusha;
- co-author of the project "Science against propaganda" Khrystyna Borovkova;
- philosopher Vakhtang Kebuladze;
- the founder of the info-hygiene initiative "How not to become a vegetable" Oksana Moroz.

"The Great Russian Lie" is a series of films about a country living in an atmosphere of informational sanitation, in which the narratives of Russian propaganda are debunked.
For centuries, Russia has used history, literature, cinema, art, sports, and media as instruments of propaganda to advance political interests. It calls itself the heir of Kievan Rus and justifies claims to the lands of neighboring states.
