About This Podcast

Welcome to the Active Measures podcast from Disinfowatch and the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, hosted by Marcus Kolga. Over five episodes we will look at the history of Russia's information and influence operations, how they've evolved since the Cold War and their rapid intensification over the past decade, their efforts to undermine our democracies and distort our understanding of Russia's war against Ukraine, and the Kremlin's attacks against those who are critical of it. We'll talk to the brave activists and journalists who are on the front-line defending the democratic world and our collective cognitive sovereignty against Russia's information warfare.
