Between January 2016 and April 2019, experts from the NGO Internews-Ukraine explored over 850,000 publications on the social network VKontakte and another 16,000 posts on Facebook that used pseudo-historical cliches about Ukraine and its history. This was done to reveal the most frequent Russian propaganda messages that justify the military aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine. In 2019, the experts published their book Re-Vision of History. It contains six main narratives of Russian historical propaganda identified by the machine learning analysis of social networks and the responses of Ukrainian historians to these narratives.
