[Commlist] New Book: LiveJournal and Russian Disinformation

J.J. Sylvia IV is pleased to share that this new book is now available: 
/LiveJournal and Russian Disinformation: The Rise of Epistemic Sabotage 
/(Bloomsbury).

This book traces LiveJournal’s shift from a major space for Russian 
opposition blogging into a testing ground for pro-Kremlin influence 
operations. It also introduces a taxonomy of “epistemic sabotage," 
strategies aimed at destabilizing knowledge systems so people struggle 
to discern what is true.

Overview:
• Carefully traces the evolution of LiveJournal as an early Russian 
platform “laboratory” for tactics later seen in wider international 
disinformation campaigns.
• Develops a framework (epistemic sabotage) that connects narrative 
control, audience manipulation, intimidation/silencing, and disinformation.
• Offers case-based material that can work well in courses on media 
studies, political communication, digital culture, and platform governance.
