Summary

Headline: The Kremlin’s latest bait in the Baltics: Immanuel Kant

Short Summary: Russia organized a Kant-focused event in Kaliningrad targeting Western intellectuals, part of a wider information operation in the Baltics.

Description

Russia has orchestrated an event centered around the philosopher Immanuel Kant in Kaliningrad, seeking to attract Western academics and leverage philosophical discourse for propaganda and influence operations in the Baltic region. The initiative coincides with recurring Kremlin narratives about nuclear threats and attempts to counter Russian isolation following Sweden and Finland joining NATO.

Evidence

Quotes

In parallel with the event’s programming on the life and works of Kant, the Kremlin was clearly using this opportunity to present it to Western audiences, with the hope that Western participants, journalists, utilising their top-cover within Ukraine and solicitations for a hypothetical attack on the Baltic states.

"The congress was organized using... non-political, universal themes to attract participants from furthermost European countries and to unconsciously align personnel... the Kremlin’s narrative that Russia is a major country, it cannot be isolated, and must have its interests taken into consideration."

The threat of nuclear war, which Russian officials and state media personalities now routinely rehearse two years into the war in Ukraine, was another major point of the congress.
