How Russia REWRITES history in its favor | BIG RUSSIAN LIES #1

The first episode of the "Big Russian Lies" series shows how Russia has been using history as a propagandistic tool to advance its political interests for centuries. Russia employs the historical myth of direct descent from Kievan Rus to claim a millennia-long history and justify territorial claims on neighboring states. Russia asserts special geopolitical rights in Europe by exploiting the historical theme of victory in World War II, creating a myth of a unified, Russian, victorious people. Russia has already printed thousands of textbooks where historical facts are manipulated to fit political expediency. Why can you still find the term "Kievan Russia" in Western encyclopedias as of 2023? Why does the study of Eastern European history in the world remain so Russia-centric? Professor Jason Stanley of Yale University, Professor of History and Political Science at the University of Western Ontario Marta Dyczok, Deputy Chairman of the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory Volodymyr Viatrovych, PhD in History, Public History Researcher Anton Liagusha, Senior Associate of the Russia Studies Department at the Center for Eastern Studies (Poland) Maria Domanska discuss how historical manipulations work and how destructive their consequences can be. "The Big Russian Lies" 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. #suspilnekultura #BigRussianLies #Russianaggression #Kremlinpropaganda
