Russia's cognitive warfare infrastructure is extensively detailed through an interactive map showcasing its cooperation agreements with foreign media outlets. The Kremlin actively cultivates a global network of foreign media, content creators, and journalists by forming partnerships, conducting outreach, and fostering media education. This initiative aims to expand Russia's media conglomerate, as further examined in a comprehensive ISW report. The interactive tool provides a visual representation of these strategic agreements. Technical guidance is included for users to ensure optimal map functionality, addressing browser compatibility issues and recommending hardware acceleration. For additional insights, ISW can be followed on Twitter @TheStudyofWar, and media inquiries can be directed to press@understandingwar.org. This analysis is a collaborative effort by multiple experts from the Institute for the Study of War and AEI's Critical Threats Project.
