Person:position | Andrei Bystritskyi’s leadership in Valdai and his media/academic background suggest he actively supports and disseminates the official Russian narrative regarding international relations, media control and Russia’s role in global affairs. The Valdai Club is used as a tool of Russian public diplomacy and soft power; by managing this body, Bystritskyi contributes to the infrastructure of state narrative production and dissemination. As dean of a major university faculty (communications/media) and a seasoned media-manager, he is in a position to shape curricula, research and public discourse around media, communications and state narratives – which can facilitate coordinated information or interference campaigns. | eng | eu_fsf | eu-fsf-eu-13917-41 | |||
