Title ProperPropaganda and the question of criminal intent; the semantics of the Zachistka
LanguageENG
AuthorGilligan, Emma
Summary / Abstract (Note)This article seeks to explore the origins and evolution of zachistka (‘cleansing’) and the particular role it played in the second Chechen war of 1999–2005. It argues that zachistka has become part of state, military and media representations of violence, building a psychological environment in favour of war. The article seeks to understand how the propaganda of the Russian Ministry of Defence might have contributed to the perpetuation of war crimes or incitement to atrocity crimes in the region.
