Camuflarea dezinformărilor Kremlinului în narațiuni aparent românești
The camouflage of the Kremlin's disinformation in apparently Romanian narratives

Summary/Abstract: There were three waves of fake news in the last decade, the first one being developed during the crisis in Ukraine, the refugees, Brexit and the US presidential elections. The coronavirus pandemic was doubled by a second wave, and now the war in Ukraine is doubled by an information war, which is the third wave of fake news, part of hybrid warfare. The false narratives of these waves have been adapted, and the disinformation is disguised so as to appear to be about local issues and concerns. Because of the propagation of local narratives, it is difficult to demonstrate the causal links between the primary source (the Kremlin) and the target state (Romania) through classical techniques of dismantling false news. However, the analysis of the morphology of local narratives and the idiolect of disinformation, of the domestic sources and the channels of propagation can highlight relations of subordination to the primary narratives generated by Moscow. Some primary, secondary and endemic narratives, together with the related topics of public debate that they try to validate are exemplified in the article.
