Putin's war of disinformation. Debunking fallacies about the invasion of Ukraine

Abstract

Without truth, democracy is not possible, and without democracy there is no guarantee for human rights, Maite Pagazaurtundúa categorically defends in the prologue of this work. She knows this well from her political and personal career, and it is emphasized by all the authors of this work, experts and academics from various universities and latitudes, who have approached the war in Ukraine to study not its military aspect, but a more hidden one. and stealthy, that of the propaganda led by the Kremlin to adapt reality to its lies. When Truman assured, in the middle of the 20th century, that propaganda was one of the most powerful weapons in the fight against freedom, he did not foresee that his words would serve to understand the 21st century. Who, at this moment in History, so in need of explanation, loves freedom; who considers that the facts are independent of the power of the despot who wants to modify them; and whoever, in this war of tanks, but also of misinformation, fallacies and poisoned arguments, refuses to be a Putin propagandist, will find in this work an indispensable tool to understand what is happening and combat lies. Because, using words spoken by Churchill in times of war, perhaps the truth needs us as bodyguards, a mission for which this book can be a good instruction manual.
