Since its 2008 incursion into Georgia (if not before), there has been a remarkable evolution in Russia's approach to propaganda. This new approach was on full display during the country's 2014 annexation of the Crimean peninsula. It continues to be demonstrated in support of ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and Syria and in pursuit of nefarious and long-term goals in Russia's “near abroad” and against NATO allies.
In some ways, the current Russian approach to propaganda builds on Soviet Cold War–era techniques, with an emphasis on obfuscation and on getting targets to act in the interests of the propagandist without realizing that they have done so.1 In other ways, it is completely new and driven by the characteristics of the contemporary information environment. Russia has taken advantage of technology and available media in ways that would have been inconceivable during the Cold War. Its tools and channels now include the Internet, social media, and the evolving landscape of professional and amateur journalism and media outlets.
I. Distinctive Features of the Contemporary Model for Russian Propaganda
-High-volume and multichannel
-Rapid, continuous, and repetitive
-Lacks commitment to objective reality
-Lacks commitment to consistency.
II. Why Is Rapid, Continuous, and Repetitive Propaganda Successful?
-First impressions are very resilient.
-Repetition leads to familiarity, and familiarity leads to acceptance.
III. How Does Propaganda Undercut Perceptions of Reality?
People are poor judges of true versus false information—and they do not necessarily remember that particular information was false.
-Information overload leads people to take shortcuts in determining the trustworthiness of messages.
-Familiar themes or messages can be appealing even if they are false.
-Statements are more likely to be accepted if backed by evidence, even if that evidence is false.
-Peripheral cues—such as an appearance of objectivity—can increase the credibility of propaganda.

In my reading of the history of conflicts, there is one thing to keep in mind-in wartime: historically, propaganda is rarely a one way street.
The goods and evils may differ between various sides, but all sides do it.
Interesting. So far pretty much all I’ve seen is a firehose of propaganda from the Ukrainians, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, NPR, etc.
What a fantastic example of psychological projection
That listing of propaganda characteristics looks equally applicable to corporate media output these days.
Your propaganda isn’t working. Pathetic.

“The firehose of falsehood” propaganda model, did they get that from our media or did our media get it from them?

Exactly. AKA the mirror effect, aka confession through projection.
