Abstract
The careful study of trends in propaganda can provide dramatic insights into the political climate of a particular nation. Specifically, shifts in either the narrative or dissemination of propaganda during times of great conflict or domestic turmoil illuminate to outside audiences where the government feels there are possible weaknesses that could fracture and eventually destroy the security and legitimacy of their regime. Therefore, this paper investigates the Kremlin’s recent methods of propaganda and disinformation compared to those of Imperial Rome, allowing for a closer examination of these techniques. Overall, the comparative analysis of Imperial Roman and current Russian propaganda and disinformation policies allows for examination of the continuities and identifies changes in political propaganda as nations face times of instability and strain.
