Troll Army - Russlands Krieg im Internet

Listen to Troll Army - Russlands Krieg im Internet on Spotify. In der Ukraine herrscht ein verheerender Krieg, ausgelöst durch den russischen Angriff. Doch dieser Angriff hat viel früher und weniger offensichtlich begonnen. Die Waffen: Desinformation. Das Ziel: Wir alle. Politische Meinungsmache durch sogenannte Trolle. Der russischstämmige Journalist Dennis Kogel will mit Spotify und der dpa herausfinden, wer hinter diesen Trollen im Netz steckt. Welche Agenda sie verfolgen und wie wir uns gegen sie wehren können. Wir analysieren Falschbehauptungen auf TikTok, reisen nach Osteuropa und erfahren, was öffentliche Toiletten mit russischer Staatspropaganda zu tun haben. Ein Recherche-Podcast, bei dem in Echtzeit recherchiert wird - und damit seid ihr ganz nah mit dabei, während wir auf der Suche nach Wahrheiten sind.
