Ep. 108 A history of (dis)information wars in the Soviet Union and beyond

How and why do authoritarian regimes seek to control information?
On today’s episode of So to Speak: The Free Speech Podcast, host
Nico Perrino is joined by University of Maryland Associate
Professor Cynthia L. Martin to explore how one country, the
former Soviet Union, restricted access to information and stifled
dissent — and what changed when that regime collapsed in 1991.
