1968 was a year that shook the world to its core. From the streets of Paris to the campuses of the United States, a new generation rose to challenge the systems that had long defined their lives. The youth, disillusioned with the status quo, sparked a fire that threatened to consume the old order, giving birth to what seemed like a new world. But, as history often reveals, the fervor of revolution rarely meets the expectations of those who dream it. Tomislav Sunic’s essay, "1968: The Incisive Year," explores the disillusionment that followed the iconic protests and offers a piercing reflection on how the events of 1968 reshaped not only the world but the very ideals that fueled it. A year of passionate rebellion became a moment of profound realization—an awakening to the complex realities of revolution, identity, and ideological transformation.

Telegram, which does little policing of its content, has also became a hub for Russian propaganda and misinformation. Many pro-Kremlin channels have become popular, alongside accounts of journalists and other independent observers. The perpetrators use various names to carry out the investment scams. They may also impersonate or clone licensed capital market intermediaries by using the names, logos, credentials, websites and other details of the legitimate entities to promote the illegal schemes. "There are several million Russians who can lift their head up from propaganda and try to look for other sources, and I'd say that most look for it on Telegram," he said. On Feb. 27, however, he admitted from his Russian-language account that "Telegram channels are increasingly becoming a source of unverified information related to Ukrainian events." The War on Fakes channel has repeatedly attempted to push conspiracies that footage from Ukraine is somehow being falsified. One post on the channel from February 24 claimed without evidence that a widely viewed photo of a Ukrainian woman injured in an airstrike in the city of Chuhuiv was doctored and that the woman was seen in a different photo days later without injuries. The post, which has over 600,000 views, also baselessly claimed that the woman's blood was actually makeup or grape juice.
