The Kremlin’s Secret Lists: How Russia Targets Europe

Published on: 24th June, 2026

What happens when journalists, politicians, and activists become targets of a foreign authoritarian regime? In this episode of “EU Decoded,” we explore Russia’s use of ‘blacklists’ and intimidation against European voices that support democracy, freedom and Ukraine. The discussion goes beyond individual cases and examines the broader challenge of foreign interference, hybrid threats and the need for Europe to strengthen its democratic resilience in an increasingly uncertain geopolitical environment.
