De Re Militari

https://drmjournal.org/

De Re Militari is a non-profit online magazine founded by Bulgarian-Syrian journalist and national defence expert Ruslan Trad, and Bulgarian historian, Dr Alexander Stoyanov.

De Re Militari aims to reduce disinformation about international relations, security, defence, and, in particular, military and political conflicts. The organisation's mission is to publish up-to-date and reliable information about ongoing events worldwide.

Furthermore, it promotes academic activity by publishing scientific papers, analyses, and other texts, creating a platform to develop intellectual discussions by engaging different perspectives.

Lastly, it intends to be a reference site for young people interested in building their knowledge in security, political science, and international relations.

For De Re Militari, Telegram has become one of the primary channels for content distribution and engagement.
