Summary/Abstract: This paper looks at selected one-sided pro-kremlin websites in Slovakia through thematic discursive analysis. Enforcement of one-sided propagandistic thoughts and opinions, primarily through freely available internet media, has become one of the most important aspects of hybrid warfare in today's world. The aim of this paper was to identify the specific goals of Russian propaganda and to clarify in what ways through language resources is propaganda spread on pro-kremlin websites. The results of the analysis are interpreted and word resources used by these websites are presented at the end of the paper. The results prove that pro-kremlin disinformation websites use word and language manipulation which helps in the acceptance and spreading of unilaterally focused and distorted information in Slovakia. The paper is trying to continue and complement current researches devoted to the problematic of pro-kremlin websites in Central Europe.
