Great text. Being from Finland, I totally understand the thinking that nothing happened in Eastern Europe. Until now.

But now it is horrible and menacing. Not only the r&ssian aggression, but also the disinformation aimed at stigmatising normal people, making them more prone to autocratic power, is scary at least.

Happy to hear about your commitment to this area of the world

Thanks so much for reading! You’re right that the disinformation front is an underdiscussed aspect of politics here now. Not only in terms of Russian hybrid warfare, but also in how people in this part of the world are mobilized by divisive, narrow-minded nationalists whose agenda ultimately makes it more difficult for countries in this region to cooperate.
