Instead, they serve exclusively as a tool for propaganda, aimed at strengthening the current political regime. The materials used in such communication and the visual range resemble cosplay of Soviet propaganda, fully copying its style and methods of information delivery. The main difference is the transition from Soviet district newspapers to the modern communication platform &#8211; the social network Instagram. Such an approach to the communication campaign demonstrates a clear gap between the formality of the conducted events and the real public opinion, the sentiments of the country&#8217;s citizens. It can be concluded that the strategy of propaganda implemented through Instagram not only preserves outdated methods of influence but also ignores the needs and expectations of voters.<\/p>\n","protected":false,"raw":"On February 25, 2024, Belarus held its first \"single voting day\" (SVD). The social network Instagram remains one of the most popular sources of news and other information in Belarus, especially among the female part of the Belarusian internet audience, for whom this platform is the primary source. Regular monitoring reveals that Belarusian state-owned media use Instagram predominantly to inform their followers about regional events and local news.\n\n<hr \/>\n\nTherefore, it was important to assess how much the propaganda resource would be utilized in the final stage of the <strong>elections*<\/strong>.\nFor dataset preparation, Meta's analytical tool Crowdtangle was traditionally used. Due to the specifics of processing data from Instagram, a total of 1,612 Cyrillic posts published in February 2024 were collected.

A usual recommendation: using visualizations of individual political figures does not affect algorithm performance nor improve engagement, but it does fulfill a communication task by promoting a foreign agenda.\n\nPresenting all post texts as a \"word cloud\":\n\n<img class=\"alignnone  wp-image-734\"

attracting voters, promoting early voting, and increasing turnout for the <strong>elections*<\/strong>.\n\nExamining the used visualization, we selected some of the most characteristic posts for this electoral campaign.\n\nFor example, templates for posts about the <strong>elections*<\/strong> were used:\n<img class=\"alignnone  wp-image-737\"

either:\n<img class=\"alignnone  wp-image-743\" src=\"https:\/\/factcheck.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/insta_viz_7-1024x601.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"576\" height=\"338\" \/>\n\nThere was also an entertainment program:\n\n<img class=\"alignnone  wp-image-750\" src=\"https:\/\/factcheck.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/insta_viz_9-1024x489.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"395\" height=\"189\" \/><img class=\"alignnone  wp-image-751\" src=\"https:\/\/factcheck.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/insta_viz_10.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"259\" height=\"191\" \/>\n\nIt can be concluded that Belarusian state media in their Instagram accounts were engaged in promoting the <strong>elections*<\/strong>, i.e., they played the role of state propaganda.\n\nThere was practically a single case of misinformation in an account affiliated with the \"Polyamy\" newspaper from the town of Korelichi, accompanied by a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/C37VwE9sLVB\/\">caricature<\/a>:\n<img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-747\" src=\"https:\/\/factcheck.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/insta_viz_13-1024x484.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"730\" height=\"345\" \/>\n\nSeveral indicators can highlight the presence of disinformation elements or bias in the material:\n<ol>\n \t<li><strong>One-sided viewpoint<\/strong>: The material exclusively presents a positive evaluation of the acting head of state and his decision to run for elections, without offering critical opinions or alternative views.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Use of emotional language<\/strong>: Phrases such as \"Belarusians took with relief\" and \"there will be someone to stand up for us\" are designed to evoke an emotional response from the reader and create a subjective representation of the situation.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Hints at external threats without concrete evidence<\/strong>: Claims that \"it's no secret there are 'plans' for Belarus by European officials\" raise the theme of external danger, but are not supported by concrete facts or evidence.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Manipulation of facts or their absence<\/strong>: The absence of references to research, public opinion polls, or other objective data to substantiate the claims about the population's sentiments.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Personality cult<\/strong>: Focusing attention on the personality of Alexander Lukashenko and presenting him as the only leader capable of maintaining stability and peace in the country, may indicate an attempt to create or enhance a personality cult.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Lack of diversity in expert opinions<\/strong>: Quoting a single political commentator who supports the current government, without presenting the views of experts with different perspectives.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nThe election campaign in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/rada.vision\/\">Kaardynatsiy Rada<\/a> is also accompanied by low quality of visualization, which is reflected in the low level of involvement:\n\n<img class=\"alignnone  wp-image-754\" src=\"https:\/\/factcheck.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/rada_1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"154\" height=\"99\" \/><img class=\"alignnone  wp-image-755\" src=\"https:\/\/factcheck.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/rada_2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"156\" height=\"100\" \/><img class=\"alignnone  wp-image-756\" src=\"https:\/\/factcheck.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/rada_3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"131\" height=\"83\" \/><img class=\"alignnone  wp-image-757\" src=\"https:\/\/factcheck.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/rada_4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"153\" height=\"98\" \/>\n\n\n<strong>In conlusions:<\/strong>\nThe analysis of the election campaign shows that, similar to previous monitoring results of Instagram accounts of Belarusian state media, these platforms are not used to spread disinformation narratives about elections in neighboring countries or internationally. Instead, they serve exclusively as a tool for propaganda, aimed at strengthening the current political regime. The materials used in such communication and the visual range resemble cosplay of Soviet propaganda, fully copying its style and methods of information delivery. The main difference is the transition from Soviet district newspapers to the modern communication platform - the social network Instagram. Such an approach to the communication campaign demonstrates a clear gap between the formality of the conducted events and the real public opinion, the sentiments of the country's citizens. It can be concluded that the strategy of propaganda implemented through Instagram not only preserves outdated methods of influence but also ignores the needs and expectations of voters."},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false,"raw":""},"author":1,"featured_media":707,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_ru_post_content":"<p>25

The social network Instagram remains one of the most popular sources of news and other information in Belarus, especially among the female part of the Belarusian internet audience, for whom this platform is the primary source. Regular monitoring reveals that Belarusian state-owned media use Instagram predominantly to inform their followers about regional events and local news.\n\n<hr \/>\n\nTherefore, it was important to assess how much the propaganda resource would be utilized in the final stage of the <strong>elections*<\/strong>.\nFor dataset preparation, Meta's analytical tool Crowdtangle was traditionally used. Due to the specifics of processing data from Instagram, a total of 1,612 Cyrillic posts published in February 2024 were collected. After cleaning the dataset from irrelevant Russian, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, and other posts, a pool of 736 Belarusian entries across 114 accounts was identified.\nThe distribution of publications and engagement throughout the month:\n<img class=\"alignnone  wp-image-713\" src=\"https:\/\/factcheck.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/posts_likes_comments_feb2024.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"753\" height=\"390\" \/>\n\nAccounts with the most election-related publications:\n<ol>\n \t<li>NEWS FROM STOLIN 82<\/li>\n \t<li>News from Ostrovets 42<\/li>\n \t<li>Our Korelichi 35<\/li>\n \t<li>Lepel, district newspaper \"Lepelski kray\" 30<\/li>\n \t<li>Native Field | Klimovichi 29<\/li>\n \t<li>Haradok Herald 27<\/li>\n \t<li>News in Postavy.

electoral campaign.\n\nFor example, templates for posts about the <strong>elections*<\/strong> were used:\n<img class=\"alignnone  wp-image-737\"

media in their Instagram accounts were engaged in promoting the <strong>elections*<\/strong>, i.e., they played the role of state propaganda.\n\nThere was practically a single case of misinformation in an account affiliated with the \"Polyamy\" newspaper from the town of Korelichi, accompanied by a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/C37VwE9sLVB\/\">caricature<\/a>:\n<img class=\"alignnone

presence of disinformation elements or bias in the material:\n<ol>\n \t<li><strong>One-sided viewpoint<\/strong>: The material exclusively presents a positive evaluation of the acting head of state and his decision to run for elections, without offering critical opinions or alternative views.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Use of emotional language<\/strong>: Phrases such as \"Belarusians took with relief\" and \"there will be someone to stand up for us\" are designed to evoke an emotional response from the reader and create a subjective representation of the situation.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Hints at external threats without concrete evidence<\/strong>: Claims that \"it's no secret there are 'plans' for Belarus by European officials\" raise the theme of external danger, but are not supported by concrete facts or evidence.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Manipulation of facts or their absence<\/strong>: The absence of references to research, public opinion polls, or other objective data to substantiate the claims about the population's sentiments.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Personality cult<\/strong>: Focusing attention on the personality of Alexander Lukashenko and presenting him as the only leader capable of maintaining stability and peace in the country, may indicate an attempt to create or enhance a personality cult.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Lack of diversity in expert opinions<\/strong>: Quoting a single political commentator who supports the current government, without presenting the views of experts with different perspectives.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nThe election campaign in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/rada.vision\/\">Kaardynatsiy Rada<\/a> is also accompanied by low quality of visualization, which is reflected in the low level of involvement:\n\n<img class=\"alignnone  wp-image-754\" src=\"https:\/\/factcheck.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/rada_1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"154\" height=\"99\" \/><img class=\"alignnone

that, similar to previous monitoring results of Instagram accounts of Belarusian state media, these platforms are not used to spread disinformation narratives about elections in neighboring countries or internationally. Instead, they serve exclusively as a tool for propaganda, aimed at strengthening the current political regime. The materials used in such communication and the visual range resemble cosplay of Soviet propaganda, fully copying its style and methods of information delivery. The main difference is the transition from Soviet district newspapers to the modern communication platform - the social network Instagram. Such an approach to the communication campaign demonstrates a clear gap between the formality of the conducted events and the real public opinion, the sentiments of the country's citizens. It can be concluded that the strategy of propaganda implemented through Instagram not only preserves outdated methods of influence but also ignores the needs and expectations of voters.","_eng_post_name":"","_eng_post_excerpt":"","_eng_post_title":"How Belarusian Instagram Accounts Covered Election Campaigns in February 2024","_bel_post_content":"","_bel_post_name":"","_bel_post_excerpt":"","_bel_post_title":"","_lt_post_content":"","_lt_post_name":"","_lt_post_excerpt":"","_lt_post_title":"","edit_language":"eng","footnotes":""},"categories":[6,1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/factcheck.lt\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/706"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/factcheck.lt\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/factcheck.lt\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/factcheck.lt\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/factcheck.lt\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=706"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/factcheck.lt\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/706\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2460,"href":"https:\/\/factcheck.lt\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/706\/revisions\/2460"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/factcheck.lt\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/707"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/factcheck.lt\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=706"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/factcheck.lt\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=706"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/factcheck.lt\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=706"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
