Evgeny Afineevsky: World War 3 Is Taking Place in Ukraine
„If we look at the World War 3 that is [happening] today, it's a hybrid war. On one side we have shelling missiles, civilian people dying, from another side we have hybrid war of media and propaganda. Many dictators of today took from Goebbels' playbook: take a lie that is big enough and repeat it over and over, and it becomes true. We also know another rule: truth is the enemy of the state. Putin successfully adapted this already from 2010, when he started to adopt certain laws in Russia. Propaganda is a problem. When people who had been influenced by it see my film, they are silent, because after seeing something like this it’s really difficult to create arguments", Evgeny Afineevsky, Russian-origin filmmaker from the U.S. who visited Vytautas Magnus University at the invitation of the U.S. Embassy in Lithuania, said. The director presented his latest work, the documentary Freedom on Fire: Ukraine's Fight for Freedom.
