Unmasking Russian Propagandists
Project reveals open Russian calls in media promoting genocide against Ukrainians
The Crimean Human Rights Group’s research exposes and counteracts the dissemination of calls to genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity within the Russian-language media space during the Russian Federation’s war against Ukraine.
This initiative aims to raise awareness about the use of aggressive propaganda to incite international crimes, while also developing recommendations for improving accountability mechanisms and legal responses to such rhetoric.
By documenting and analysing these harmful narratives, the project seeks to strengthen investigations into international crimes, inform civil society, and support efforts to hold perpetrators accountable.
The database contains quotations from individual speakers and the content was selected with the War of Words analytical service. The database was developed in collaboration with HURIDOCS and is available in Ukrainian and English.
"Disinformation is not just a threat to truth—it’s a direct threat to human rights. But documentation, when carefully and ethically done, is a form of resistance. It creates a parallel narrative grounded in verified facts, which supports accountability and strengthens institutional memory."
—Oleksandra Kovalenko, HURIDOCS Programme Officer
