People in the West need to see this. Christo Grozev: “Project Kylo: how SVR, FSB and GRU plotted to terrorize the West, stoke existential fears and create animosity to Ukraine refugees. How they conspired to make this “utterly tracelessly”. Until we got their emails.”

1. The Insider has obtained hacked correspondence from officers of Russia’s foreign intelligence agency (SVR) responsible for “information warfare” with the West. The leaked documents, intended for various government agencies, reveal the Kremlin’s strategy: spreading disinformation on sensitive Western topics, posting falsehoods while posing as radical Ukrainian and European political forces (both real and specially created), appealing to emotions — primarily fear — over rationality, and utilizing new internet platforms instead of outdated ones like RT and Sputnik. The documents also detail localized campaigns against Russian émigrés, including efforts to discredit a fundraiser for Alexei Navalny’s Anti-Corruption Foundation who had moved to the United States.

2. It works, I know many people who have fallen for russian propaganda, some of it so ridiculous you wouldn’t think any sane person would believe in them.

3. This is exactly what Yuri Bezmenov was talking about in 1984.

4. Why is this not nit being talked about over and over again by media, if I wouldn’t follow Reddit I wouldn’t know.

5. Thanks Christo Grozev. The best investigative Journalist in Europe right now.

6. Immer mehr Gründe, diesen Terror sofort zu beenden, bevor es immer schlimmer wird.
