By Walter Clemens, for CEPA Russian public opinion is not very different from the 19th century. The tsar can do no wrong. Problems are blamed on administrators, or things that can’t be changed. Unlike the serfs, freed in 1861, today’s Russian population is literate and has access to books, periodicals, and computers to find the facts […]

The photo shared online is fake. Several programs for analyzing the image authenticity indicate that the photo was modified or generated by a computer program. In addition, the original source of the photo is an English-language Telegram channel, which is supposedly pro-Ukrainian, but writes approvingly about the «radical right-wing movements flourishing in Ukraine».  Moreover, Ukraine […]

Holding the presidential election in Ukraine in 2024 is complicated by the martial law in the country. Ukrainian law allows for the postponement of presidential elections in such circumstances.

The legislation in Ukraine regulating the use of the Ukrainian language does not apply to personal communication or religion, and does not provide for any criminal liability for violations of its norms, «language patrols» or «language inspectors», as propaganda claims.

But most Serbs across the […]
