This research investigates the perspectives and responses of residents in the temporarily occupied Zaporizhzhia region of Ukraine towards Russian media and propaganda. The study's primary objective is to gain insight into residents' perceptions of Russian media and the methods they have devised to discern authentic information from propaganda. It explores how these residents view Russian media and the tactics they utilize to discriminate between trustworthy information and propaganda. It underscores the importance of media literacy and the need for effective countermeasures to combat propaganda's influence on residents' information independence.
