About Role of Russia in 2019 EP Elections
With the support of Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom, Political Capital is monitoring Russian attempts to meddle in the EP elections in the V4 in the frames of the "Investigating Russia's role and the Kremlin's expected influence in the 2019 EP elections" project. Political Capital's local partners are the Polish Center for Propaganda and Disinformation Analysis, the Czech Prague Security Studies Institute and Slovakian political analyst Grigorij Meseznikov. The main focus of the project is mapping the dissemination of anti-EU and pro-Russian disinformation, summarising its main narratives and formulating policy recommendations aiding the fight against manipulative information.
