This photo is taken in my former hometown Moscow, Victory day 2010. I was witnessing the military parades, missiles, fighter jets once again used to propagate citizens into ultimate patriotism. My book Putin’s USA deadline is around the corner. It’s almost ready, I’m giving it finishing touches.

A timely book recommendation for helpful background via courageous investigative journalism by @jessikka.bsky.social on Putin’s troll factories (and how his global disruption has shaped the geopolitical landscape we find ourselves in today…) www.igpub.com/putins-trolls/
A blue red and white book cover of Putin’s Trolls by Jessikka Aro (on the frontlines of Russia’s information war against the world). Putin’s Trolls is a chilling account of Russian information warfare, shedding light on the individuals and organizations behind the Kremlin’s coordinated, military-style social media psy-ops against the Western world.

In this courageous and unflinching book, award-winning journalist Jessikka Aro interweaves her own dramatic story as a target of Russian social media propaganda with accounts from many internationally known critics of the Kremlin, who share their own stories of being targeted by Russia’s multifaceted cyber warfare campaigns. Among those featured are Bill Browder, author of Red Notice, Eliot Higgins, founder of the investigative community Bellingcat, and news anchor Liz Wahl, who famously resigned on air from the Russian propaganda network, RT.

As Jessikka began to investigate the impact of the Kremlin’s troll operations outside of Russia, she learned that private citizens in many other countries were being victimized by Kremlin-designed information campaigns. These actions were frequently conducted through an organized “troll factory” led by Russia’s security and intelligence apparatus, using unregulated social media platforms including YouTube, Facebook and Twitter.

Lese "Moskaus Schattenkrieg" von @jessikka.bsky.social, kriege einen Schreck nach dem anderen und merke, wie wenig ich von der jüngeren Geschichte "Osteuropas" weiß. Es ist schlimmer als schlimm. Hoffentlich wacht der Westen bald auf - Putins 🇷🇺 ist eine Gefahr für uns. Absolute Leseempfehlung!

Just in time for his presidency, Elon has changed his online avatar to a white-supremacist hate symbol, his screen name to a 4chan slogan neo-Nazis favor (“kek”), and his bio icon to two swords. This is your POTUS. Are these also gamer symbols? Yes. Does he know they’re far more? You bet your ass.

Kirjassani Putinin maailmansota kerron, miten osana loppumatonta Viron-vastaista hybridisotaansa Venäjä etsintäkuulutti Eerik Niiles Krossin ”merirosvona”, kutsui kuulusteluihin Venäjän periferiaan Nenetsiaan ja hyödynsi operaatiossaan Interpolia. Kerron myös, miten Viro operaatioihin vastasi.

Finnish government prepares to close the rest of the border with Russia, according to Ilta-Sanomat newspaper. ”It’s clear that Finland wants to give Russia a very clear and strong message. We’re not going to watch Russia’s hybrid influencing”, a source tells IS.

Russia's hybrid warfare continues at the FI border. RU officials actively escort people to the Salla border crossing and close the gates behind them. According to FI border official, the people who arrived today, have more ambiguities and their nationalities are under investigation.

They are expected to approach Vartius the following days. Source: Iltalehti, who has published photos of the asylum seeker groups in Russia

Russian border FSB is literally pushing groups of third country citizens on the border zone between Finland and Russia. Without those citizens’ consent. One such incident resulted in one such group applying asylum in Finland. Don’t come tell me that Russia ISN’T waging hybrid warfare.

Kremlin has the following objectives (+ many more) in its recent information warfare: • To justify their war against Ukraine to the home audience as well as its allies • To fuel its soldiers’ motivation to fight against Ukraine • To undermine the Western front’s support to Ukraine 1/1
