    Characteristics of Russian Propaganda in Latin America with Regard to Russian Aggression Against Ukraine: Case of Brazil
    (2024) Taranenko, Anna
    Russian aggression against Ukraine has become one of the most serious challenges for the international security system. One of the regions where Russian propaganda has been spread widely is Latin America. And one of the countries especially influenced by the Russian disinformation in the region is Brazil. The goal of this article is to define characteristics of the Russian propaganda in Latin America regarding Russian aggression against Ukraine, particularly, look at the case of Brazil, trace features of the Kremlin propaganda in this country at the current stage and outline possible ways of countering this propaganda. It can be concluded that Russian propaganda in Latin American and in Brazil, particularly, has several specific characteristics­it is widespread, long­standing and generally supported. Key current narratives concerning the ongoing Russian aggression against Ukraine include the nuclear threat, calls for peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia and accusing the West of russofobia. Other false narratives include accusing Ukraine of war crimes and provocations, as well as dangers of further “escalation” of the war. Among reasons for common misconceptions about the Russia­Ukraine war in Brazil one can name a simple lack of information and familiarity with the local politics. This gap is partially the result of Ukraine’s insufficient communication with the Latin American and Brazilian audiences and the countries’ lack of interest in each other for many years.In order to counter Russian propaganda in Latin American and Brazil, in particular, Ukraine should enhance its communication and diplomatic efforts, cooperate with the Ukrainian diaspora in the region and consistently deconstruct Russian disinformation narratives. In the long­term perspective, it is worthwhile increasing opportunities to study the Spanish and Portuguese languages and have respective Regional Studies courses at Ukrainian educational institutions.

    (2021) Taranenko, Anna
    The article is dedicated to regional security development in Latin America and, in particular, the democratization trends. The topic of regional security development in Latin America appears to be an urgent problem to research in order to trace the security development tendencies in the region, identify current challenges of security development and, in particular, analyze democratization trends. Regional security of Latin America is closely related to security agenda of the Western hemisphere and, thus, the global security. Therefore, it should be paid particular attention. It is necessary to analyze the economic, political, cultural and ecological dimensions of regional security in Latin American countries and its relation to democratization tendencies in the region. The current state of regional security development is characterized by global development trends and challenges, such as climate change, economic turmoil, food security, health protection issues and nuclear weapons proliferation. Thus, the goal of this article is to study regional security development in Latin America in terms of further democratization trends. The objectives of the article are to analyze the current state of regional security development in Latin America, trace democratization trends and define prospects for further strategic alliances development, as well as regional leadership shaping up. One can conclude that regional security is a highly important aspect on foreign policy agenda of Latin American countries. The countries of the region need to face a number of regional security challenges, first of all, stemming from social and economic development aspects. The prospects are to enhance international cooperation in the region and promote effective social, economic and educational development projects. Prospects of further research are related to more detailed examination of various security types in the Latin American region. In particular, it is worthwhile researching the aspects of ecological security, food security and human security in the region. These aspects have gained more resonance in the world security studies of the end of the 20th – beginning of the 21st century and their relevance for the Latin American region needs to be further explored.

    (BoScience Publisher, 2021) Taranenko, Hanna
    There is considerable potential for Ukraine’s cooperation with Latin American countries. Ukraine needs to further strengthen its cooperation with the countries of Latin America and Caribbean Basin, in particular, regional leaders and states with considerable Ukrainian diaspora, such as Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Peru. Ukraine also needs to pay attention to international organizations of the region such as OAS, CELAC, PROSUR, MERCOSUR, Pacific Alliance and Latin American Parliament.
