This study examines the phenomenon of Russian disinformation in the Lebanese media landscape, focusing on its underlying causes, strategic mechanisms, and broader consequences. The analysis identifies a range of political, economic, and socio-cultural factors that create fertile ground for disinformation in Lebanon, including the country’s complex sectarian dynamics, weak media regulation, and external influence from global powers. This study outlines the main strategies employed by pro-Russian media outlets in Lebanon, such as the selective framing of international events, amplification of anti-Western narratives, and the use of local proxies to increase credibility. Particular attention is paid to how these strategies aim to shape public opinion, foster distrust of Western institutions, and position Russia as a reliable geopolitical partner in the region. The article concludes by assessing the impact of such disinformation on Russia’s image in the Middle East, arguing that while it contributes to short-term soft power gains, it also risks long-term reputational damage due to the growing awareness of manipulative tactics among regional audiences.
