In the unstable and unpredictable time which requires that we revise our usual thoughts on the state and the society, security and freedom, peace and war. At the same time, the strength of our values is being tested - how we can protect them, and how united we can be in their protection. This time did not begin after the annexation of the Crimea in 2014, and even not after the military aggression of Russia against Georgia in 2008. It began when people in the Kremlin government offices decided to challenge the democratic world and developed plans on how to use the achievements of democracy against itself. And perhaps above all we are speaking about the freedom of speech and media which is now used in its quasi form to destabilize societies, undermine trust in democratic institutions, incite to hatred and enmity, and create an illusory world that has little to do with the reality and the needs of people.

    Ukraine | Freedom House Page 1 of 5 Ukraine freedomhouse.org Україна Note: The scores and narrative for Ukraine do not reflect conditions in Russian-occupied Crimea, which is assessed in a separate report. Status change explanation: Ukraine’s status improved from Not Free to Partly Free due to profound changes in the media environment after the fall of President Viktor Yanukovych’s government in February, despite a rise in attacks on journalists during the Euromaidan protests of early 2014 and the subsequent conflict in eastern Ukraine. The level of government hostility and legal pressure faced by journalists decreased, as did political pressure on state-owned outlets. The media also benefited from improvements to the law on access to information and the increased independence of the broadcasting regulator. Conditions for press freedom in Ukraine were affected by tumultuous political events in 2014. During the first two months of the year, a protest movement known as Euromaidan occupied central Kyiv and withstood waves of attacks by security forces loyal to President Viktor Yanukovych, who ultimately fled the country in late February. Russian forces then occupied Crimea and actively supported separatist militants in Ukraine’s two easternmost regions, Donetsk and Luhansk. Even as fighting escalated in the east, the country held democratic elections for the presidency and parliament in May and October, respectively. These events led to an overall improvement in the media environment, although concerns remain, especially regarding the government’s handling of pro-Russian propaganda, the concentration of ownership of private outlets in the hands of a small group of wealthy businessmen, and the high levels of violence against journalists in the country, especially in the east.

  • Security, Protracted Conflicts and the Role of Drones in Eurasia Note: the Term ‘Drone’ Is Used Interchangeably with ‘Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)’ in This Report
    On the Edge Security, protracted conflicts and the role of drones in Eurasia Note: The term ‘drone’ is used interchangeably with ‘Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)’ in this report. Supported by a funding from the Foundation Open Society Institute in cooperation with the Human Rights Initiative of the Open Society Foundations. Drone Wars UK is a small British NGO established in 2010 to undertake research and advocacy around the use of armed drones. We believe that the growing use of remotely-controlled, armed unmanned systems is encouraging and enabling a lowering of the threshold for the use of lethal force as well as eroding well established human rights norms. While some argue that the technology itself is neutral, we believe that drones are a danger to global peace and security. We have seen over the past decade that once these systems are in the armoury, the temptation to use them becomes great, even beyond the constraints of international law. As more countries develop or acquire this technology, the danger to global peace and security grows.

  • Anti-Corruption Court to Receive Cases from NABU, SAPO LIVE
    12/15/19, 140 AM Page 1 of 1 . enen LIVE Anti-Corruption Court to receive cases from NABU, SAPO 15:20, 18 September 2019 323 Ukrainian MPs voted for the law, which provides that Supreme Anti-Corruption Court will get cases only from these anti-corruption bodies Verkhovna Rada of 9th convocation The Verkhovna Rada The Verkhovna Rada approved the bill, according to which only cases of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO) will be transferred to the Supreme Anti-Corruption Court. The session was broadcasted by 112 Ukraine TV channel. The document was presented by the parliamentarians from the Servant of the People Party and the head of the Anti- Corruption Committee Anastasia Krasnosilska. “This is a bill that will allow the Anti-Corruption Court to focus solely on high-level corruption cases. Without this bill, the Anti-Corruption Court will be blocked by thousands, I stress, by thousands of minor cases, and people just won't get the justice they have been waiting for more than 5 years,” Krasnosilska said. It is envisaged that from the day this law enters into force any other investigative judges stop accepting petitions and complaints, and any other courts of first instance – indictments in the cases investigated by NABU and SAPO. Instead, these motions and indictments are to be submitted to the Supreme Anti-Corruption Court. At the same time, the bill does not provide for changes to the article of the Criminal Procedure Code on the subject- matter jurisdiction of the Supreme Anti-Corruption Court.

  • Cinema As a Tool for Influencing Historical Consciousness in Russian-Ukrainian Information Warfare
    https://doi.org/10.4316/CC.2020.02.001 CINEMA AS A TOOL FOR INFLUENCING HISTORICAL CONSCIOUSNESS IN RUSSIAN-UKRAINIAN INFORMATION WARFARE Rоman KHARDEL , Vitalii VYZDRYK , Oleksandra MELNYK Hetman Petro Sahaidachny National Army Academy, Lviv (Ukraine) E-mail: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract: The article analyses the techniques and methods used to influence historical consciousness through the cinema. The strategy of using cinema in the modern information environment as a tool of psychological influence on the consciousness and subconscious of the target audience is described. Cinema is considered as an integral part of a comprehensive system of influencing the target audiences, including such an essential part of it as historical consciousness. The effectiveness of modern means of providing feedback on the watched films, particularly in the form of audience reviews, as a part of a complex strategy of information exploitation is highlighted.
