Cyber attacks, poison attacks, disinformation campaigns: The attacks on Europe's liberal democracies are no longer an abstract threat, but a reality. The Russian regime is fighting this battle fiercely. The powerful in the Kremlin are becoming increasingly aggressive in their attempts to infiltrate states and destroy weak democracies. The Russian poison is disintegrating societies by exploiting existing weaknesses and deepening rifts. Putin's attack does not stop at Germany and the EU either.
\nBestselling authors and local experts Gesine Dornbl\u00fcth and Thomas Franke show how Russia operates: in Armenia, Georgia, Ukraine, the Baltic states and Central Asia, but also in the USA and the EU. They write about fear, history, ignorance, literature and religion, and trace how Putin's poison has already subtly eaten its way into societies.
\nIn conversation with Cathrin Kahlweit, Dornblueth and Franke explore whether and how Western societies can recognise and counter hybrid warfare - and what the political developments behind it mean for Europe.<\/p>\n

Gesine Dornbl\u00fcth<\/strong> is a German radio journalist. From February 2012 to early 2017, she worked as a foreign correspondent for Deutschlandradio in Moscow and as an author and reporter for all ARD broadcasters.
