📜 How is history used to shape the way we see the present? 🔎 Historical events can be manipulated without changing the facts themselves. By leaving out context, shifting responsibility or repeating misleading narratives, pro-Kremlin actors can influence how audiences understand the past – and how they view today’s political and security landscape. 📄 Our report, History as a Weapon: Pro-Kremlin Revisionism and Disinformation in Central Europe, examines these tactics across Poland, Czechia and Slovakia. 🔗 Read the full report to learn more: https://lnkd.in/ekDBWn_W The report was produced by the Emerging Threats Observatory, Prague Security Studies Institute and NEST Institute - Inštitút pre nové bezpečnostné hrozby, with support from the International Visegrad Fund.

⚔️ How is history weaponised to influence public opinion and advance pro-Kremlin narratives? 📑 At the Prague Security Studies Institute (PSSI), we contributed to History as a Weapon, an international research project supported by the International Visegrad Fund, examining pro-Kremlin historical revisionism in Czechia, Poland and Slovakia, together with our partners at the Emerging Threats Observatory (ETO) and NEST Institute - Inštitút pre nové bezpečnostné hrozby. 🌐 The project explores how historical events and collective memory are manipulated in today’s information space, distorting the past to influence how we understand the present. 🤝 The project is co-financed by the governments of Czechia, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia through the Visegrad Grants from the International Visegrad Fund. The mission of the fund is to advance ideas for sustainable regional cooperation in Central Europe. #VisegradFund #HistoryAsWeapon #CentralEurope

The newest episode of Prague Space Security Talks is now online! The space industry is increasingly becoming a software industry. Recorded during the 9th Prague Space Security Conference, the episode features Stuart Daughtridge, Vice President of Advanced Technology at Kratos Defense and Security Solutions, discussing how AI, commercial innovation, and new approaches to ground systems are transforming space operations. The conversation explores: • How AI could transform ground systems through data analysis, anomaly detection, optimization, and automation • Why cloud-based and virtualized architectures are becoming critical to scaling space infrastructure • The growing security risks facing commercial ground infrastructure • How commercial data and sovereign capabilities can strengthen space domain awareness • How software, telecommunications expertise, growing launch demand, and activity in cislunar space are shaping the future of satellite communications As space operations grow in scale and complexity, flexible architectures and technologies adapted from the IT and telecommunications sectors will be increasingly important to building secure, resilient, and scalable space infrastructure.

Can history be used as a weapon? Across Central Europe, pro-Kremlin actors increasingly exploit historical revisionism to spread disinformation, reinforce polarisation, and weaken trust in democratic institutions. Understanding how these narratives evolve is essential to building more resilient societies. On 19 August, researchers from Emerging Threats Observatory, Prague Security Studies Institute (PSSI), and NEST Institute - Inštitút pre nové bezpečnostné hrozby will share the preliminary findings of their joint research on pro-Kremlin historical disinformation in Poland, Czechia, and Slovakia. The online event will provide new insights into the narratives, tactics, and information ecosystems shaping today's security landscape. We look forward to welcoming researchers, journalists, policymakers, and everyone interested in information resilience. 19 August 2026 | 14:00–16:00 CET Online (Zoom) Register now: https://lnkd.in/d8gqVRiW Learn more about the event: https://lnkd.in/dXtEUS5y This event is part of a project co-financed by the governments of Czechia, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia through Visegrad Grants from the International Visegrad Fund. The mission of the fund is to advance ideas for sustainable regional cooperation in Central Europe. #VisegradFund
