The new head of the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory against Russian disinformation
Alexander Alferov, who recently became the head of the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory (UINP), announced the launch of a large-scale discredit campaign by Russian resources. He promises to continue revealing the truth, debunking imperial myths, and exposing historical facts without distortion.
Friends, I didn’t even finish my first working day at the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory before Russian resources launched a wave of fakes, manipulations, and old setups...
Alferov mentioned that Russian propaganda attempted to create an image of a 'neo-Nazi' from his own words, using them in their disinformation materials. He thanked the Spravdi portal for exposing Russian fakes about him.
The head of UINP emphasized that such a campaign is part of Russia's information war. He touched on key points, including Russia's fear of historical truth and the activities of the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory itself.
