Over six episodes, we will look at the history of Russia’s information and influence operations, how they’ve evolved since the cold war, and the rapid intensification over the past decade. We’ll talk to the brave activists, journalists, and officials who are on the front lines defending the democratic world and our collective cognitive sovereignty against Russia’s information warfare.
In this episode, Marcus Kolga travels to the capital of Latvia, Riga, where he chats with former Latvian Defence Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Artis Pabriks, the founder and chairman of the Northern Defence Policy Center Think Tank. Dr. Pabriks highlights Latvia’s early recognition of Russian hybrid and information warfare, emphasizing the need for countermeasures.
