Russian disinformation in the Baltics: Does it really work?
ENThe present study embarks on a scientific quantitative assessment of Russian disinformation effects in Baltic States. A cross-sectional survey and the partial least squares structural equation modeling were employed as research tools. It was found that Russian disinformation is aimed at increasing the perceived distrust of governments, perceived lack of career possibilities, perceived lack of justice, and perceived imminence of military actions in the region. These are also echoed in the decrease in citizens’ incentives for investment activities. The largest of the Baltic States, Lithuania, served as an empirical basis for the research. Keywords: Russian disinformation, Baltic States, trust in government, threat of war, structural equation modeling. [From the publication]
