Context #AdvocacyUKInstituteForStrategicDialogueISD "Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, jurisdictions and tech platforms around the world have taken steps to prevent or limit the spread of Russian propaganda internationally. There is, however, an additional constraint hampering the efforts of Russia and its supporters in spreading disinformation: language. This Dispatch investigates a coordinated network of volunteers working to translate existing Russian-language propaganda and disinformation about the war in Ukraine into over a dozen languages. This includes content from pro-Kremlin influencers, particularly the controversial Ukrainian blogger Yuri Podolyaka, as well as Russian state media sources. The volunteers, who have branded themselves 'Info Defense', operate Telegram channels for each of the target languages. They also administer specifically-branded Info Defense accounts on YouTube, and disseminate their content across the major international social media networks through a multitude of smaller accounts. The significance of this network is at the base level in which it functions : a grassroots, relatively decentralised and cost-free network for the translation and distribution of propaganda. This model may appeal to both state- and non-state actors seeking to promote narratives and content to international audiences, and is likely to pose a challenge for platform content moderation efforts.... In a video message promoting the newly formed translation network, Podolyaka elaborated on the role which he saw himself and his supporters playing in support of Russia's war in Ukraine. He spoke at length about the way in which media coverage and information about the war in Vietnam helped to deplete domestic support for the war in the US, ultimately leading to the US's defeat and retreat from Vietnam. According to Podolyaka, if the public in Western countries only knew that Russia was really fighting against evil Nazis in Ukraine, they would force their governments to abandon the fight, as they did in Vietnam. 'This is the truth that they want to hide from their societies, and our task is to bring this truth to them,' he said." https://www.isdglobal.org/digital_dispatches/the-info-defense-network-crowdsourcing-soldiers-for-the-information-war/ #IRLYouTuberYuriPodolyaka #2022_InvasionOfUkraine #PhenomnPropagandaDisinformation #ToponymEuropeUkraineDonbasDonetskPeoplesRepublicDPR #ToponymEuropeUkraineDonbasLuhanskPeoplesRepublicLPR #HandleTelegramTheEyeOfTheStormTEOS #HandleTelegramTheNodeOfTime #VlogCommonsence7885 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-Wjx44gRwQ #NarrativeWarAmericaVietnam #NarrativeDenazification #MetaphorDeceitLugenpresseMainstreamMediaMSM #NMRURussiaTodayRTMargaritaSimonyan #PhenomnTalkingPointsRussian #OrgSyndicateAccordNetworkDecentralised #NMUSFOXFNCTuckerCarlson

Supplementary #BrandGraphikaBenNimmo, #BrandGraphikaIraHubert and #BrandGraphikaYangCheng "The sprawling pro-Chinese propaganda network that Graphika has dubbed 'Spamouflage' and exposed multiple times over the past two years has begun to break out of its echo chamber of fake accounts and reach real social media users, including some heavyweight influencers, with hundreds of videos that praise China, criticize the United States, and attack the Hong Kong pro-democracy movement and exiled Chinese billionaire Guo Wengui. The network's successes are still sporadic - a few tweets have reached viral influencers, and a few dozen videos on YouTube channels have garnered significant followings - but, for the first time, its content has had measurable reach. Moreover, the audiences it has reached are widespread and include influencers in Latin America, Pakistan, the United Kingdom, and Hong Kong. Combined with the sheer scale of the network, and the fact that it has reconstituted itself after repeated takedowns, these features mark Spamouflage as a persistent and increasingly assertive online presence with a limited but growing ability to engage real users." https://graphika.com/reports/spamouflage-breakout #PhenomnSpamouflageDragon Elise Thomas, Albert Zhang and Jake Wallis (2020).
