studies show that in Belarus there are about 40 online media with pro Russian and anti Belarusian narratives. great article, does you coutry has anti maskal con-cept of informational security?
"Recent studies show that in Belarus there are about 40 active online media with pro-Russian and anti-Belarusian narratives. A recent study by the Warsaw-based think tank, EAST Center, shows which messages promoted by pro-Russian Belarusian media in the first three months of 2019 were most popular:•Deploy Russian nuclear weapons in Belarus, within the framework of a potential military con-frontation with the West;•Develop Russian organizations that form a ‘Rus-sian identity’ among Belarusians;•Introduce the Russian rouble in Belarus;•Stop dialogue with the West;•Deploy Russian military bases in Belarus;•Introduce criminal liability for ‘incitement of fear at the expense of Russia’.In 2017, the influence of these media even forced the Belarusian authorities to arrange a show trial of three authors from the Russian propaganda service, Regnum News Agency, on accusations of inciting ethnic hatred. According to a recent social poll, half of the Belarusian students polled said they have a Russian identity. While the Belarusian language is used for many entertainment activities and events, the educational system remains com-pletely Russified. This shows that Lukashenka is hardly interested in promoting the Belarusian language. Instead, its public use in official meetings has the goal of reaching a particular audience. The Belarusian language is essentially a tool for Lukashenka to send signals of sovereignty and independence to the neighbour in the east. To deter Russian interference in Belarusian media space, the Belarusian government has introduced a con-cept of informational security." https://www.foi.se/rest-api/report/FOI Memo 6773
