Truth Talks: Disinformation in Bulgaria
Update: 2025-04-11
Description
Why is Russian propaganda in Bulgaria no longer targeting the US—but focusing entirely on the EU and NATO?
Dr Ralitsa Kovacheva from Sofia University joins us to unpack how Kremlin disinformation has evolved in Bulgaria and why the country is particularly vulnerable to it.
We discuss:
• The most common fake news narratives
• The declining role of the US in Russian propaganda
• Why Bulgarian media and politicians amplify pro-Kremlin messages
• The anti-Euro campaign and nostalgia for communism
• When disinformation isn’t fake—but still dangerous
Tune in to explore how disinformation spreads across Europe and what it means for democracy.
