Russian disinformation campaigns have been a major talking point in the West for nearly a decade. Much ink has been spilled on these campaigns’ effects on elections, policy, and even general public opinion. Western governments clearly consider it a threat: the UK Parliament had a “Disinformation and ‘Fake News’ Committee in 2018, the US State Department’s Global Engagement Center released a report on Russia’s disinformation strategy in August 2020, and the US Army War College published an article discussing Russian Information Warfare in May 2024. The question remains, however: how does Russian disinformation operate, how effective is it, and what can be done about it? This panel discussion will feature a conversation among Sir John Scarlett, Peter Pomerantsev, Dr. Sarah Ann Oates, and Jill Dougherty. They will discuss the past, present, and future of Russian disinformation campaigns, their most common targets, and what potentially can be done to put a stop to them.
