“Putin’s trolls. True stories from the fronts of the Russian information war” – Jessikka Aro
Disinformation works always and everywhere, especially the one that has been practiced for years. The author of this book was threatened, threatened and ridiculed. All this because she decided to raise the subject of pro-Russian propaganda on the Internet, an activity that fell within the limits of the law in most countries. If you want to know its mechanisms, this title can help you understand them.
“Bloody greetings from Russia” – Heidi Blake
You could agree with Putin or say goodbye to life. Even leaving Russia did not change much in this situation. The oligarchs who fled to Great Britain, along with their lawyers and associates, died under suspicious circumstances.
“Putin’s people. How the KGB recovered Russia and turned against the West” – Catherine Belton
This report is a chilling history lesson about how one of the world’s most despotic dictators came to power. The author discusses such topics as controlling the economy, the dependence of the legal system and gaining influence abroad.
“The War That Changed Us” – Paweł Pieniążek
Another topic that has not been discussed so often before is the question of the Donbass. Paweł Pieniążek reported the course of the “green men” invasion from the very beginning. In 2017, he published a book on this subject, in which he tried to present the position of both sides of the conflict.
“Apartment at the Hotel Wojna. Report from Donbas” – Tomáš Forró
This is another publication presenting the war in Donbas. The reporter talked to people who fought at the front, but also escaped and lost all their possessions. In his publication, the author also presented the principles of hybrid warfare, in which, apart from conventional fights, the method of transmitting information plays an equally important role.
“Tattoo with a tryzub” – Ziemowit Szczerek
The next item is a rather personal story of the author’s journey through Ukraine, where the past is mixed up with the present, and the thought of war never fades into the background. Although the author swears that it is not a book by Maidan or Donbas, these events also play a large role in it. Most of all, however, he talks to people and tries to understand their point of view.
This list is just a few suggestions that may somehow help to understand the background of today’s war. You can read more about interesting books
