Decoding the Kremlin’s warspeak to understand the power of propaganda as a weapon of war.
Decoding the Kremlin’s warspeak to understand the power of propaganda as a weapon of war. “Let’s cut dill”, “a pop of cotton”, “meat assault”: expressions the average foreigner might struggle to understand.

Producer: Kriszta Satori, Vitaly Shevchenko
