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).

Supplementary "In reality, there never was a Novorossiya. As an ideological project, it has failed to take hold in the minds of those living on its supposed territories in eastern and southern Ukraine, and was abandoned by Russia and the authorities of the 'People's Republics' of Donetsk and Luhansk as soon as it became politically inconvenient. This failure is a bellwether for the ineffectiveness of Russian propaganda: not only has Russia failed to convince Russian-speaking Ukrainians that they are the victims of 'genocide' and that 'fascists' control the Kyiv government, it also completely neglected to provide a convincing alternative to Ukrainian nationhood." https://www.cam.ac.uk/stories/donbaspropaganda #NarrativeTruthFabricationNovorossiya

Initially, Russians weren't seen as a minority in Ukraine, but the anti-Russian sentiment gradually became overwhelming. The communication war on social media against Russia is meticulously planned with the help of Western curators. The nationalist Azov-affiliated children's camps teach kids to fight and equate a Soviet soldier to the SS. Their red-and-black flag means blood and soil - the words engraved on the knives given to Hitlerjugend. Stepan Bandera was proclaimed a national hero, with torch marches regularly happening in his honor ever since.

Context "For his supporters, the fact that Bandera fought to prevent the Soviet occupation of Ukraine is more significant than his collaboration with the Nazis. Since the 2014 Euromaidan revolution, Bandera has been a rallying cry for many Ukrainian nationalists, particularly after the Russian annexation of Crimea and the backing of separatist movements in eastern Ukraine. 'The main thing for the people following Bandera today is that he fought for an independent Ukraine. They ignore that his organization cooperated with the Nazi regime, that they were anti-Semitic, and that Bandera was also anti-Polish,' said Jakubin. 'After Euromaidan, some people have tried to create a new image of Bandera as a person fighting the Soviets for Ukrainian independence.'" https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2021/03/19/in-ukraine-stepan-bandera-s-legacy-becomes-a-political-football-again #PoliticsFascismNazi #2013_Euromaidan #PoliticsNationalismUkrainian #ToponymEuropeUkraineCrimea #OtheringHateAntisemitism #ToponymEuropePoland #PhenomnHolocaustShoah #OrgClassifPPRUSUnitedRussiaVladimirPutin #NarrativeDenazification

In 2020, in an attempt to minimize and rationalize Stalin's decision to align himself with Hitler, Putin published [digital archives] a twisted version of the start of World War II, downplaying the Soviet role and shifting blame for the war to other countries.

Supplementary "A statement signed by more than 300 historians who study genocide, Nazism and World War II said Putin's rhetoric about de-Nazifying fascists among Ukraine's elected leadership is 'propaganda.' 'We strongly reject the Russian government's cynical abuse of the term genocide, the memory of World War II and the Holocaust, and the equation of the Ukrainian state with the Nazi regime to justify its unprovoked aggression,' the statement says. 'This rhetoric is factually wrong, morally repugnant and deeply offensive to the memory of millions of victims of Nazism and those who courageously fought against it, including Russian and Ukrainian soldiers of the Red Army. 'We do not idealize the Ukrainian state and society. Like any other country, it has right-wing extremists and violent xenophobic groups. Ukraine also ought to better confront the darker chapters of its painful and complicated history. Yet none of this justifies the Russian aggression and the gross mischaracterization of Ukraine.' One of the authors of the statement, Eugene Finkel, an associate professor at the School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University, told us the influence of Ukraine's neo-Nazi faction is relatively small. 'Neo-Nazi, far right and xenophobic groups do exist in Ukraine, like in pretty much any other country, including Russia,' Finkel said. 'They are vocal and can be prone to violence but they are numerically small, marginal and their political influence at the state level is non-existent. That is not to say that Ukraine doesn't have a far-right problem. It does. But I would consider the KKK in the US and skinheads and neo-Nazi groups in Russia a much bigger problem and threat than the Ukrainian far right.'"
