There\u2019s now a new series that looks at a different form of disinformation, the disinformation that is shared by the Russian state and through their news operations in light of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marianna has a great knack of taking one big topic and exploring it in a multitude of different ways. There\u2019s an episode that looks at a Ukrainian fleeing Kyiv whose relative is based in Russia does not believe what is going on because she watches Russian news. There\u2019s a story about a Russian influencer who is using their existing platform to share news of what is really happening in Kyiv. And there\u2019s also an episode of looking at conspiracy theorists who believe that the pandemic and the Ukraine War don\u2019t exist.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/music.amazon.com\/podcasts\/08c66966-12a5-4713-9c0c-412a7df9b15d\/44-presents-the-noughties\"><strong>+44 Presents: The Noughties<\/strong><\/a><strong> &#8211; <\/strong>Here\u2019s another podcast looking back at the noughties.
