We are honored to welcome Nicolae Mocanu, President of TVR Moldova, for an eye-opening conversation with John M. Florescu about what it means to stand on the front line of today’s disinformation war.

For Mocanu, the fight is personal. His father was killed in the 1992 Russia-Moldova conflict. Today, he faces a new kind of battlefield—one shaped not by soldiers, but by signals, screens, and false narratives.

Mocanu will share his experiences confronting a tidal wave of disinformation: from Russian-backed television dramas, music, and satire targeting the West, to black flag operations, death threats, and digital propaganda spread through Telegram, TikTok, and Facebook.

From the streets of Chișinău, to the entrenched bunkers of the Russian 14th Army, just 42 kilometers away in Transnistria, where Mocanu was born, the threat is real and growing.

“This noncombat war,” he warns, “is only getting worse.”
