The DisinfoWatch Active Measures Podcast, hosted by international expert Marcus Kolga, offers an in-depth exploration of Kremlin and other foreign authoritarian information and influence operations targeting NATO, Canada, and the broader democratic world.

In this series, Kolga examines the Cold War origins of Soviet-era disinformation campaigns, tracing their evolution into the strategies and tactics employed by the Putin regime today. Through information warfare, influence operations, and transnational repression, the Kremlin seeks to attack its critics, demoralize its enemies and destabilize Western democracies.

Kolga is joined by leading international experts, frontline defenders of democracy, activists, and those directly impacted by the Kremlin’s transnational repression, providing unique insights into the ongoing battle against authoritarian influence.

New episodes are released regularly.

Produced in partnership with the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, the podcast is available on all major platforms.
