When propaganda beats reality, you must show people what comes next.
Propaganda is today’s most powerful weapon — and it’s spreading fast in the Czech Republic.
332,000 people already believe the country should return to Russia.

To show how dangerous this invisible war is, Czech Television and Punkfilm created a two-part project.

We took three pro-Russia supporters to Ukraine and let them film everything. They still refused to accept reality.
So we created a new one.

Using CGI, we turned the Czech Republic into a fictional “Czech-Russian Republic.”
Flags changed. Monuments changed. History changed.

People finally saw what’s at stake — and the reaction was explosive.
The project helped make The Great Patriotic Trip the #2 documentary of the year.

When propaganda wins, the only answer is to show the future we must prevent.
