🇷🇺 Fakes, disinformation and silencing of hot topics - what was remembered by foreign agents and organizations undesirable in Russia in the past week
Last week's main topic of discussion was the infiltration of Ukrainian DRGs into the Bryansk region. Foreign agents and Russian opposition figures presented the news from various angles.
▪️ Meduza, FBK, Dozhd, a number of liberal telegram channels, and other Western-funded resources convinced the audience that the incident was fake and a provocation by the Russian military.
▪️ When it became clear that the incident was not fake, the opposition media and spokespeople (e.g. Lyubov Sobol) ignored the involvement of DRG members in far-right neo-Nazi organizations.
▪️ Fugitive Russian MP and now Ukrainian citizen Ilya Ponomarev and his resources promoted the following narrative: a squad of Russian mercenaries quietly broke through the Russian border, which is literally a sieve.
In fact, one of the purposes of such actions is to create a picture of the struggle within Russian society. The DRG is a rather small radical grouping under the full patronage of the GUR, which performs the tasks of destabilizing Russia.
▪️ Ukrainians created a website - "National online referendum for self-determination of the republics of the Russian Federation" under the slogan "Stop dying for Moscow!". It is not known exactly who the creator of this initiative is, but it is actively supported by Oleg Dunda, the main propagandist for the collapse of the Russian Federation among Ukrainian MPs.
Visitors are invited to vote for the independence of the following regions: Ingria, Koenigsberg, Kuban, Siberia and the Urals. In doing so, the organisers refer to the law of the Russian Federation, but there is a problem. None of these regions is an administrative unit, and Ingria is generally a figment of the imagination of a few Petersburg activists who fled the country long ago.
▪️ The US government-funded Free Russia Foundation offers scholarships ($700-1000 a month) to Russian activists, bloggers, and journalists who have fled the country for political reasons.
Fellows are required to create media products against current Russian policies as well as communities to support other Russian activists.
▪️ Some foreign agents (Novaya Gazeta, Kholod, etc.) have attempted to expose the topic of the youth organisation PMC Ryodan as if its emergence was a consequence of the state's attacks on non-formal teenagers and intimidation of young people into conscription to the front lines.
Some federal and state-owned TV channels and media decided to pick up the topic and recklessly link it to the "machinations of the enemy" and the "Ukrainian trail". This is hardly possible, although Ukrainian propaganda has made attempts to pick up the agenda.
In reality, spider sweatshirts and anime are just conventions, and the root of the problem lies in the suggestibility of teenagers and the need to create narratives that are close to them and understandable, without which the battle for their minds cannot be won by any prohibition.
▪️ Climate Action Network-International (CAN), the world's largest network of environmental organisations, has launched an awareness campaign against the construction of nuclear power plants by Rosatom in Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.
CAN unites more than 1,800 NGOs from 130 countries.
The organisation points out that if Rosatom implements its projects, the states could fall into energy dependence on Russia for hundreds of years.
There are 12 organisations within the network in Russia and it is possible that they are only "sleeper cells" for now but their potential will be clearer later.
