«Zvezda» is a Russian federal television channel that positions itself as an information and analytical channel specializing in defense and security. It belongs to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and is one of the key propaganda tools of the Kremlin.
The main part of «Zvezda»'s airtime is dedicated to news, documentaries, and analytical programs related to the Russian army, its history, current state, and participation in international conflicts. The channel also broadcasts feature films, series, and documentaries on military themes, as well as programs about the history, culture, and everyday life of Russian society.
«Zvezda» is known for its pro-Kremlin propaganda and coverage of world events from the perspective of Russian state policy. The channel often uses disinformation, manipulation, and propaganda to shape a desired perception of events in Ukraine, Syria, and other countries where Russia has its interests.
Despite positioning itself as an objective information channel, «Zvezda»'s programs and expert appearances often contain false information, propaganda clichés, and biased coverage of events. This makes the channel an unreliable source of information and casts doubt on its objectivity.
