| Abstract [eng] |
This thesis examines Russian disinformation narratives about Lithuania in the context of hybrid warfare, analyzing their role in shaping Russian and Lithuanian identities. It explores the reciprocal influence of information warfare on both aggressor and target identities, highlighting impacts on Lithuania’s politics and security. Using Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), the study identifies key identity labels, such as “instigator” and “criminal,” aimed at undermining Lithuania’s sovereignty. It underscores the need for truth-based strategies and media literacy to counteract these narratives, recommending further research on disinformation’s long-term effects on EU and NATO security. |
