Opinion Festival 2019: Information hygiene in the time of peace and crisis

ICDS together with the Estonian Center of Eastern Partnership organised the only discussion in Russian at this years Opinion Festival.

Accelerated information flow has caused an overflow that may jeopardize media consumption and spur the spread of malicious information manipulation. There is still much disagreement on how to combat hostile disinformation in the most effective way in an open democracy. It is not enough to debunk disinformation and expose fake accounts in the social media.

We were delighted to welcome our close cooperation partners, experts from Ukraine to Paide: political psychologist professor Lidiya Smola, conflict specialist and psychologist dr. Iryna Brunova-Kalisetska, journalist Valeria Pimkina and media expert Tatyana Kolosova. From Estonia, Grigori Senkiv, director of the National Centre of Defence and Security Awareness. The discussion was led by Dmitri Teperik, chief executive of ICDS.
