POLITICAL SCIENCE / World / Russian & Soviet

The book makes an important contribution to documenting the start of the annexation and gives another proof that, in any war, the media are the first to be attacked. It provides insight into a very important mission that my team and I conducted in Crimea on the eve of the illegal annexation. It was essential for me to be able to talk directly with the journalists facing repression and under attack so I could give my frank and direct assessment to all 57 OSCE States that there is an ongoing information war in Ukraine.

Yuriy Lukanov is a freelance journalist living in Kyiv, Ukraine. His articles were published in Kyiv Post, Radio Liberty, Financial Times, UPI, The Atlantic Council, Ukrainska Pravda, LB.ua, Gazeta.ua, Moskovskie Novosti, Texty.org.ua, Novynarnia.

So far, he published the books (in Ukrainian) “The Third President: A Political Portrait of Leonid Kuchma” (Taki spravy, 1997), “Extravaganza of Travels. Travel Notes after a Trip over Six European Countries”, and several books with political epigrams.
