  3. Russia invests huge money in internet warfare. Disinformation is their national sport, and not only because of their enemies, but internally. This was key in USSR – keep information, tell them what they need to know, lie to boost morale or instill fear… they are the best in the world.

    And now look how shaky Europe is. The Russians plant a seed, few years later they have critical mass in the heart of their enemies.

  4. When I was telling this 10 years ago to my foreign friends they were thinking I’m crazy.
    5 years ago all Ukraine already knew that – there were dozens of investigations together with russian volunteers that documented, confirmed, worked at that places, etc. Europe still thinks it is crazy coincidence and russia never meant anything bad..
    anyway, better later than never!

  5. The scariest thing about it is that they have been doing this in every country in Europe for over a decade now, and our leaders are still – in the year 2025 – completely overwhelmed by it. They have no solutions, no plan.

  6. Se tem uma coisa que aprendi com anos na internet é não acreditar em coisas que afirmam exatamente o que eu penso
    “É pago diretamente de moscow” fica parecendo que é o Putin abrindo a conta dele e mandando dinheiro pra galera

  7. Disinformation campaigns are becoming one of the biggest threats to democracy today.

  8. About time we get some public coverage. YouTube is a Kremlin cesspool right now.

  9. Why don’t we have a trial day or week when we shut down social media in Europe? Honestly, I’d be curious to see what happens. The fight against disinformation in these platforms is completely hopeless. Not to mention, we’d be killing two birds with one stone. Donald would have to explain himself to the US tech oligarchs, and then he’d come to negotiate about tariffs with a different tone.

  10. I want to recommend a nice book on this topic – “Putin Trolls” by Jessikka Aro. She is a Finnish journalist, and Russian troll farms tried to destroy her life for years.

  11. And they are on Reddit too…all the way up, the mods, the owner…

  12. And all the influencers paid to push the EU and member state propoganda, is that next for review and investigation?

  13. It’ll never not be annoying how much better the internet was before countries (and corporations) realised it’s potential. I genuinely feel bad for those who never got to experience it before all the bots, algorithms and clickbait took over.

  15. The question isn’t whether Russian propaganda exists. They clearly spend billions on propaganda and even normal Redditors can sometimes spot a Russian bot or visual blunders like paid idiots Orban or Jill Stein sitting with Putin. The question is not whether Russia is a bad actor.

    The question is – What will the EU and other democratic nations ever do about Russian propaganda?

  16. its so painful to me how obvious this is and how long it has been going, yet most people are oblivious and our politicians never talk about it.

  19. Anyone remember when russia forgot to pay their external english translation service(bot messages were posted with errors) or when they turned their reddit bots off for a few days(for some reason). The difference was palpable.

  20. Ar fi corect sa faca si despre armata digitala USAID, ca sa arate impartialitate.

    Oh wait, she cant…ca face acelasi lucru.

    Muie tuturor agentilor straini si colaboratorilor lor care sunt impotriva intereselor si unitatii nationale, atat agentilor rusi cat si celor progresesti/usaid-isti.

    Moldova e parte din Romania, nu apartine de krelim si nici de o clasa de oligarhi vestici si autohtoni.
