497. Ian Garner - Russia has Constructed a 'Self-selecting' Digital Gulag to Stifle Opposition to Putin
With the blocking of YouTube in Russia, and pressure on other platforms,
are we seeing the emergence of a Digital Gulag? The more efficient way
to entrap and control a population than the real-world Gulag of watch
towers and razor wire?
----------
Ian Garner is an historian and analyst of Russian culture and war
propaganda. He is motivated by two questions: what drives Russia’s
obsession with war, and why have so many Russians in the past and
present fallen for militarism. Ian Garner is also a world leading
authority on the myths and propaganda surrounding the second world war
battle of Stalingrad in Soviet & Russian Literature. Ian has been
interviewed for the Washington Post, Rolling Stone, New York Times, BBC,
VICE News, Mashable, and many other media channels.
