This paper focuses on the mechanisms by which Putin's propaganda manages to capture people from different information bubbles, audiences, social contexts and positions.

The main obstacle for wind power in Russia is the small domestic market, secured by a state support programme, due to the lack of a climate and environmental agenda in the country. The study…
