MODERN RUSSIAN MUSIC AS A TOOL FOR THE SPREAD OF PRO-RUSSIAN NARRATIVES: FEATURES AND WAYS OF COUNTERACTION FROM UKRAINE

This has a particularly negative impact on the consciousness of such citizens and supports the armed aggression of the Russian Federation.

Music is enjoyed by different generations of people, regardless of age, status, or nationality.
