The conference, hosted by ECFR Berlin, the Heinrich-Böll-Foundation and the Transatlantic Council, aimed at uncovering the Russia's (dis-)information policy in the last years. In different penals journalists, politicians and think-tankers from Europe and Russia discussed various aspects of the Russian disinformation campaign in Europe and at home. Topics addressed were the media outlets and strategy of the campaign in Europe especially during the Ukrainian crises, the success of this campaign in Europe, the Russian public opinion on the West and how Europe can reach the Russian public.
