Putinamprsquos Propaganda Machine examines Russiaamprsquos ampldquoinformation waramprdquo one of the most striking features of its intervention in Ukraine. Marcel H. Van Herpen argues that the Kremlinamprsquos propaganda offensive is a carefully prepared strategy implemented and tested over the last decade. Initially intended as a tool to enhance Russiaamprsquos soft power it quickly developed into one of the main instruments of Russiaamprsquos new imperialism reminiscent of the height of the Cold War. Van Herpen demonstrates that the Kremlinamprsquos propaganda machine not only plays a central role in its ampldquohybrid waramprdquo in Ukraine but also has broader geopolitical objectives intended to roll back the influence of NATO and the United States in Europe. Drawing on years of research Van Herpen shows how the Kremlin built a multitude of soft power instruments and transformed them into effective weapons in a new information war with the West.
