2024 as the Year of Elections – Can Russian Disinformation Change our Politics?

2024 is a year of elections. In addition to EU and US presidential elections, there will be elections in Mexico, India, and Indonesia. People in 13 African countries, including Algeria and South Africa, will also be casting their votes. Overall, almost every second person will be able to vote in an election in 2024. As the 2016 US presidential elections showed, Russia is ready to use the different tools at its disposal to interfere in elections. What can we expect this year? What message will Russia use to stir up electorates? How effective is Russia in creating conflict and division in Europe and the US? What does it hope to gain?
