Steven Broschart · with a foreword by Dr. Rainer Fromm
Putin's war in Ukraine is not only fought on the battlefield. It is also fought on the digital front — with words and information as the ammunition of hybrid warfare. The aim is manipulation and control, confusion and distraction from what is really happening.
But the internet is used not only for propaganda, but also for intelligence work and logistics. Russia leaves many traces behind. The book shows, in accessible language that requires no prior knowledge, which psychological and communicative tools are deployed along Putin's digital front line.
The book is divided into two parts: the first describes the mechanisms of digital warfare; the second analyses specific events on the basis of search behaviour data.
