1094. How Russia Destroys Everything - Narratives of Mass Destruction in Information Warfare!

from Silicon Curtain · host Jonathan Fink

On the night of May 23 to 24, Russia destroyed the apartment of our author Artem Zakharchenko. Fortunately, Artem and his wife were not injured. But they were left without a home. Could you please share this information with the activist communities in your countries? This family now needs support to rebuild their home and their life from scratch.PayPal of the oldest son, Marco: [email protected] name: Marko ZakharchenkoFor Ukrainian banking: Посилання на банкуhttps://send.monobank.ua/jar/7sFs5B5MAiНомер картки банки - 4874 1000 3826 9596----------Artem Zakharchenko is a Ukrainian writer, journalist, editor, media analyst and scholar from Kyiv, originally from Chernihiv. He holds a doctorate in social communications and is associated with the Institute of Journalism at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv and is head of CAT-UA. His work spans two connected fields: Ukrainian literature and information warfare / strategic narratives. As a novelist, he is the author of Помру за Україну, але це не точно — roughly, I’ll Die for Ukraine, But Not for Sure — a 2021 contemporary Ukrainian novel about imprisonment, patriotism, betrayal and the moral costs of war. As a communications researcher, he writes on Russian propaganda, social media, Ukrainian wartime narratives and the struggle for attention in the information space. His 2025 Frontiers article develops the idea of a “connective strategic narrative” in the Russian-Ukrainian war: a narrative formed not only by state elites, but by emotionally engaged social media public. ----------BOOKS: Narratives of Mass Destruction: Tactics and Strategies of Information Warfare (2026)Наративи масового ураження.
