Summary/Abstract: For the past few years, the issues surrounding the disinformation, propaganda and hostile information campaigns have gained a lot of traction in public conversations, along side with concerns around the technological megachanges in the information eco-system and the migration of social and political discourse to digital platforms. The COVID-19 pandemic and the current information war waged against the Western political and cultural space in the context of the invasion of Ukraine have exposed these irreversible mega-changes, thus raising more fundamental questions in public and elite conversations in Western societies, such as: „is information peace the opposite of information war?”, „is disinformation a problem to be resolved or managed?”, „does the West have a disinformation problem or a functionality problem”?.
