VIRUS Seminar “The Narrators of Violence: Who Justifies the Russian Invasion, and How”

The VIRUS project held an interactive lecture for secondary-school students on how politicians, journalists and influencers in Russia, Italy, Germany and Austria justify Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and on how to recognise such narratives in the media. The lecture was part of Europa e mondo, the school programme of Progetto Giovani (City of Padova) for the 2026/27 school year.
