What narratives the enemy propaganda puts into the celebration of russia day
The kremlin uses russia day, celebrated annually on June 12, as a powerful tool to spread propaganda to both its own population and the residents of occupied territories in Ukraine.
In particular, the following narratives are promoted:
▫️ Highlighting the “greatness of russia” with a focus on its aggressive ambitions, former russian president dmitry medvedev made headlines for publishing a map that depicted almost all of Ukraine as part of the russian federation.
▫️ Statements about “returning to their home harbor” and promises of a “happy future” for the residents of the TOT.
▫️ Historical hoaxes to support the ideas about the “ancient and majestic” history of the russian federation.
▫️ War propaganda through glorification of its participants on the occasion of the holiday.
In addition, russian diplomats hold celebrations abroad to shape the image of russia as a “strong and influential state” and manipulate foreign public opinion, creating the illusion of support for moscow’s actions.
