Russian authorities have been left without tools for propaganda abroad after the blocking of Telegram and other messengers, as well as foreign social networks, said Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov.
"We are now rapidly losing the tools for our propaganda work abroad. Especially in the near abroad. Television broadcast is a rather relative thing nowadays, it can be turned off with a button," Peskov said at the conference "Modern Media: Technologies, Meanings, Personnel" at the Higher School of Economics, according to Moscow Times.
According to him, "hostile social networks" are most popular worldwide and in CIS countries, where the Kremlin seeks to spread its propaganda. "We don't operate in these environments. We don't work with Telegram. So where are we supposed to convey our messages? And we still need to figure that out," Peskov noted.
He added that the state messenger Max should overtake competitors in the CIS space and urged to increase its audience so that the Kremlin could "familiarize residents of the near abroad countries with its position."
