Abstract: The article examines to what extent disinformation is a threat to a democratic state such as Bulgaria. The hypothesis is that democratic states possess enough resources to counter effectively foreign disinformation campaigns. Based on in-depth interviews with experts from the security and media fields, the research has rejected, to a large extent, this hypothesis about Bulgaria. It has found out that the country is quite vulnerable to disinformation campaigns and the article elaborates on the causes for this vulnerability and on possible countering measures.
