How RT became the Kremlin's global megaphone - Break the Fake - TVP WORLD



At the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscoe, Vladimir Putin marked the 20th anniversary of the Kremlin's flagship propaganda outlet, RT, with a speech that redefined irony. While Putin celebrated RT as a "global brand," many countries have banned the network entirely for its role in spreading war propagnda and manipulating public opinion. What unfolded at the Bolshoi was less a celebration of journalism and more a masterclass in self-delusion, a carefully staged spectacle blending politics, theater and misisnformation. In a new episode of Break the Fake, Jonasz Rewiński breaks down Putin's speech and how RT became one of the Kremlin's most powerful tools of influence.
