[en] Human is surrounded by the propaganda and the attempts of the propagandists to control his ideas and direct his behavior, especially at this time as the tremendous technological progress in the field of communication allows the flow of information quickly and abundantly so that the recipient cannot easily examine the content and distinguish the real from the fake content. Propaganda is no longer confined to wartime but is used as a weapon to create affiliations and attitudes during the periods of peace as well. This theoretical research deals with the development of propaganda as a concept and tools and examines the forms of propaganda, the conditions of its existence and the factors that guarantee the power of influence on the recipient. The study highlights the difference between the propaganda prevalent in a society governed by a dictatorial system and the propaganda prevalent in a "democratic" society. The importance of research is linked to the increase in disinformation resulting from the abundance of information flow and the daily exposure of the individual to many messages coming from different means.
