Russia’s information operations work as a layered system: 1. Officials launch core narratives. 2. State media amplify them. 3. Front outlets push Kremlin interests. 4. Hidden networks and social accounts echo them, forming coordinated influence campaigns.

Long before election day, another battle is already taking place online. Russia’s election playbook targets voters before they even reach the ballot box: fake accounts, fake news sites, influencers, AI-generated content, and narratives designed to promote pro-Kremlin candidates and destroy trust in democracy. In this mini-documentary, we at EUvsDisinfo break down: - How Russian influence operations are created and amplified - How narratives spread through state media, Telegram, fake websites, social media, messaging apps, and even video games - How pro-EU, pro-Western, and pro-Ukraine candidates are targeted with outrageous false claims - Why artificial intelligence makes these campaigns faster, cheaper, and harder to detect - How fake accounts, deepfakes, and automated content can shape public opinion - Why the bigger, long-term goal is to make people lose trust in policymakers, journalists, institutions, and democracy itself This is Russia's election playbook.

It sounds like a prank call. It plays like a prank call. But the punchline is geopolitics. Kremlin-linked “pranksters” stage, edit, and amplify calls to push misleading narratives. It’s FIMI with a comedic filter: part theatre, part manipulation.

The Wikipedia wars As Wikipedia approaches its 25th anniversary in 2026, its open editing model faces a growing challenge: coordinated edit wars. In these campaigns, Kremlin-aligned actors try to rewrite history, launder disinformation, and lock distorted narratives into one of the world’s most trusted reference platforms. Founded on the idea that volunteers could collaboratively build a neutral, reliable encyclopaedia, Wikipedia has become one of the most influential information platforms ever created. It is often described as the world’s largest crowd-sourced knowledge project, built on consensus and verifiable sources. In recent years, however, it has also become a frontline in geopolitical information warfare. This is most visible in so-called edit wars: prolonged conflicts where opposing groups repeatedly overwrite and revise articles to control historical narratives. Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, these battles have intensified. Kremlin-aligned actors have systematically targeted articles related to Eastern Europe, the Soviet past, and contemporary political leaders. Estonia and especially EU leader Kaja Kallas, Estonia’s former prime minister, have been frequent targets. What are edit wars? An edit war happens when editors repeatedly change the same content instead of resolving disputes through discussion. Wikipedia officially discourages this behaviour and emphasises consensus, neutrality, and reliable sources. In practice, however, edit wars can and do break out. Coordinated editors can use endurance, procedural rules, and administrator complaints to exhaust good faith contributors. The goal is rarely to win a single argument. Instead, it is to wear down opposition, freeze pages at favourable moments, and normalise contested language. Once a page is locked or protected, the version in place gains a sense of legitimacy, even if it reflects a distorted view. Edit wars exploit open systems, operate over long periods, and aim to embed manipulated narratives into reference material rather than spreading short-lived falsehoods. Multiple investigations show that Wikipedia manipulation increased sharply after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Russian-language Wikipedia and parts of the English version became arenas for systematic narrative control, especially as independent Russian media was shut down. Wikipedia’s openness, once a strength, had suddenly become a vulnerability. Coordinated editor networks have worked to soften descriptions of Russian aggression, reframe invasions as ‘conflicts’, and question the legitimacy of post-Soviet states. These efforts rely on subtle wording changes, selective sourcing, and procedural tactics rather than obvious vandalism. Estonia and EU officials as targets Estonia shows how edit wars are used for historical revisionism and political influence. Since 2022, English-language Wikipedia articles about Estonia’s history, statehood, and politics have faced sustained pressure. One recurring tactic has been changing the birthplaces of hundreds of Estonian public figures from ‘Estonia’ to ‘Estonian SSR, Soviet Union’, despite the legal consensus that Estonia was occupied, not legitimately incorporated, by the USSR between 1940 and 1991. This is not a minor wording issue. Calling Estonia a ‘Soviet republic’ supports the Russian claim that the Baltic states voluntarily joined the USSR and directly contradicts the position of Estonia, the EU, NATO countries, and international law. Historical topics have also been targeted. The Estonian War of Independence between 1918 and 1920 has at times been reframed as an ‘offensive campaign’ or ‘separatism from Russia’, language that closely mirrors contemporary Kremlin rhetoric. High-profile figures are especially vulnerable because their pages attract constant attention and frequent administrative action. The Wikipedia article on Kaja Kallas has repeatedly been edited to reflect Russian-aligned interpretations of history and geopolitics. At key moments, the page was locked while these contested narratives were in place, blocking corrective edits. Page protection, meant to prevent disruption, instead helped freeze a favourable version of the article. This shows how procedural tools can be exploited as effectively as false information. Why Wikipedia matters Wikipedia is not just another website. It ranks highly in search results and serves as a default reference for journalists, students, policymakers, and the public. Winning an edit war on Wikipedia helps turn contested narratives into global ‘common knowledge’. For Kremlin-aligned actors, this makes Wikipedia a valuable target. Making small wording changes, downplaying occupation, reframing wars, and questioning democratic legitimacy can slowly erode our understanding of history and present-day aggression. Estonia’s experience shows how smaller states are especially exposed. Because Wikipedia is also a core source for AI systems, the stakes are even higher. Recent studies indicate that Wikipedia is one of the most cited sources for ChatGPT, effectively serving as a foundational knowledge base for how the AI understands and retrieves information. Manipulating articles today can therefore shape how future technologies understand, reproduce, and repeat history. This practice is referred to as LLM grooming, the deliberate attempt to influence large language models by seeding biased or distorted narratives into the sources they rely on. The rise in Wikipedia edit wars since 2022 reflects a broader shift in information warfare. Instead of loud propaganda, actors now use procedural, platform-native manipulation. Estonian history and Kaja Kallas are not isolated cases but targets of coordinated action. And as long as open-knowledge platforms shape how societies understand history and politics, sites like Wikipedia will remain contested ground.

Life under Russian occupation is not only a military reality – it is an information siege. An estimated 5–6 million Ukrainians in temporarily occupied territories (TOT) are being cut off from Ukrainian media, flooded with Kremlin propaganda, subjected to internet shutdowns and messenger bans, and pushed into silence by fear. How does this system of digital control actually work – and what does it do to people forced to live inside it?

Ex-CIA & Navy intelligence expert Chase Hughes revealed the clearest 3-sign checklist for spotting coordinated influence campaigns (“psychological operations”) — in a jaw-dropping 2:16 clip. He explains you’re likely watching one unfold when: 1. Mainstream media + top celebrities/influencers all push identical messaging in perfect sync 2. The biggest names in music, film, and culture suddenly repeat near-identical talking points within days 3. Highly credentialed experts are swiftly de-platformed or socially canceled the moment they challenge the narrative Hughes stresses that humans fear social rejection even more than death — and today’s platforms make that fear incredibly easy to weaponize. This isn’t speculation. It’s straight behavioral science from one of the planet’s foremost authorities on persuasion and influence. Watch the full 2:16 clip below.

I’ve obtained internal government documents via a Freedom of Information request that reveal a coordinated effort by the UK Government to influence the content of television programming, including fictional storylines. The documents show direct collaboration between the Department for Culture, Media and Sport and broadcasters like ITV, Channel 4, and the BBC. Officials discussed embedding government messaging into soap operas and entertainment shows, not just on COVID and vaccines, but also climate change, mental health, extremism, and “social cohesion.” Broadcasters were encouraged to tailor narratives for “hard-to-reach” audiences, including ethnic minorities, young people, and working-class viewers. Some programmes were rebranded entirely to align with government campaigns. Others included plotlines shaped by civil servants. These documents have never been seen publicly until now.

A Multiple foreign intelligence agencies such as the CIA (United States), MSS (China), MI6 (United Kingdom), Turkey's MIT, and Ukrainian intelligence—are jointly attempting to engineer a coup or coup-like situation in India .These claims are equally strong and backed by verifiable evidence. There are several points in consideration: Foreign influence operations are real. Intelligence agencies around the world conduct espionage, cyber operations, influence campaigns, disinformation, recruitment of sources, and attempts to shape foreign public opinion. This is well documented in many countries, including India. India has identified and responded to foreign interference in the past. Indian authorities have periodically alleged or investigated activities involving espionage, cyberattacks, extremist financing, separatist support, and foreign influence by various state and non-state actors. These activities differ in scope and objectives and do not necessarily amount to an attempt to overthrow the government. A coordinated multinational conspiracy involving all of the agencies you listed has not been established publicly. There is no publicly available evidence demonstrating that the CIA, China's MSS, the UK's MI6, Turkey's MIT, and Ukrainian intelligence are jointly orchestrating a coup-like operation against India. Such an assertion would require corroborated evidence from credible investigations, official findings, or reliable intelligence disclosures. Hybrid warfare is a more commonly discussed framework. Many security analysts describe modern geopolitical competition as involving cyberattacks, information operations, economic pressure, influence campaigns, and proxy actors rather than conventional coups. Democracies, including India, often face attempts by different actors to influence public discourse or exploit existing social and political divisions. That does not mean those efforts are centrally coordinated or aimed at regime change. If you're interested in analyzing whether India is facing hybrid warfare, foreign influence operations, or information warfare, those are well-established subjects with substantial research and publicly available evidence.

Do you wonder why Trump changed his tone today? 🤔Did it have something to do with the widely unpopular MOU and MAGA cult influencers attempting to claim anyone with a dissenting opinion was paid by a foreign government 🤔 The gaslighting vail failed. This deal sucks and we watched for 2 months as Iran held the world economy hostage terrorizing the Strait of Hormuz, and what did we do? Diddly squat. We the people do not pledge everlasting loyalty and put blind faith in our elected officials. No. A true patriot SHOULD make their voice known when the elected stray from the will of the people. A true leader will listen to the people who elected them, not launch a coordinated social media campaign against them in an attempt to gaslight the world into thinking turning the USA into the #1 state sponsor of a terror organization is a good thing as long as they behave.

Starlink shutdown exposes Russia’s military dependence Russia’s dependence on American technology shatters the Kremlin’s invincibility narrative, leading to a slowdown in advance on the front. Claims of Russia’s invincibility became a central element of the large-scale invasion of Ukraine as we examined in our recent article. Faith in the greatness and self-sufficiency of the Russian army has been turned into a mantra of Kremlin propaganda. However, the war against Ukraine has shown the world that this narrative, like the myth of Russia’s technical superiority(opens in a new tab) over Western weapons and technology, is far from the truth. The recent disconnection of Russian troops from the Starlink satellite communications system vividly confirms this. The Russian troops have been left unable to coordinate, slowing down their advance and leaving space for Ukraine to push back. Blind and deaf In early February 2026, Russian troops in the occupied Ukrainian territories faced an unexpected disaster. Overnight, the Starlink satellite communications system crashed(opens in a new tab) across the entire front line. Meanwhile, official communications stations operated by the Ukrainian defence forces continued to operate without interruption. The Russian suffered a severe blow, leaving the invading forces cut off from command posts. The disruption of Russian army Starlink terminals caused serious problems with inter‑unit coordination, logistics and the use of drones of various types, both ground‑based and aerial. According to the Institute for the Study of War(opens in a new tab), the blocking of unregistered Starlink terminals significantly complicated Russian military operations and limited their ability to carry out tactical strikes, consequently leading towards the slowest advance in two years. Opportunity for Ukraine Putting on a brave face, the Russian FIMI machine reverted to its familiar tactic of denying reality. Kremlin mouthpieces claimed(opens in a new tab) that troop command and control remained stable thanks to a complex and diversified communications network. Russian military leaders insisted(opens in a new tab) there were no losses and that the army was not dependent on Western communications terminals. Some Russian units, the General Staff asserted, had allegedly used Starlink terminals solely to mislead Ukrainian forces. The reality proved otherwise: ‘All we’ve got left now, are radios, cables and pigeons,’ says a Russian soldier in an intercepted transmission cited in Politico’s(opens in a new tab) reporting. Without reliable communications, Russian troops lost the ability to effectively control drones and maintain defensive positions. According to Ukrainian Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi, Ukraine seized this opportunity(opens in a new tab). Within weeks, Ukrainian defence forces liberated eight settlements and more than 400 square kilometres of territory, taking advantage of the collapse of Russian command and communications. In February 2026, for the first time since the Kursk Offensive, the Ukrainian Defence Forces regained control of more territory(opens in a new tab) than Russia had managed to capture. The Ukrainian offensive continues, as do the Russian army’s communications problems. Russia’s own Starlink? Currently, Russian military correspondents and analysts are actively promoting a familiar narrative, urging battlefield units to remain patient until the Russian army’s alleged invulnerability is restored. Officials have also claimed that Russia is preparing to develop the Rassvet satellite constellation(opens in a new tab), presented as an analogue to Starlink and described as superior to existing systems.

Starlink shutdown exposes Russia’s military dependence Russia’s dependence on American technology shatters the Kremlin’s invincibility narrative, leading to a slowdown in advance on the front. Claims of Russia’s invincibility became a central element of the large-scale invasion of Ukraine as we examined in our recent article. Faith in the greatness and self-sufficiency of the Russian army has been turned into a mantra of Kremlin propaganda. However, the war against Ukraine has shown the world that this narrative, like the myth of Russia’s technical superiority(opens in a new tab) over Western weapons and technology, is far from the truth. The recent disconnection of Russian troops from the Starlink satellite communications system vividly confirms this. The Russian troops have been left unable to coordinate, slowing down their advance and leaving space for Ukraine to push back. Blind and deaf In early February 2026, Russian troops in the occupied Ukrainian territories faced an unexpected disaster. Overnight, the Starlink satellite communications system crashed(opens in a new tab) across the entire front line. Meanwhile, official communications stations operated by the Ukrainian defence forces continued to operate without interruption. The Russian suffered a severe blow, leaving the invading forces cut off from command posts. The disruption of Russian army Starlink terminals caused serious problems with inter‑unit coordination, logistics and the use of drones of various types, both ground‑based and aerial. According to the Institute for the Study of War(opens in a new tab), the blocking of unregistered Starlink terminals significantly complicated Russian military operations and limited their ability to carry out tactical strikes, consequently leading towards the slowest advance in two years. Opportunity for Ukraine Putting on a brave face, the Russian FIMI machine reverted to its familiar tactic of denying reality. Kremlin mouthpieces claimed(opens in a new tab) that troop command and control remained stable thanks to a complex and diversified communications network. Russian military leaders insisted(opens in a new tab) there were no losses and that the army was not dependent on Western communications terminals. Some Russian units, the General Staff asserted, had allegedly used Starlink terminals solely to mislead Ukrainian forces. The reality proved otherwise: ‘All we’ve got left now, are radios, cables and pigeons,’ says a Russian soldier in an intercepted transmission cited in Politico’s(opens in a new tab) reporting. Without reliable communications, Russian troops lost the ability to effectively control drones and maintain defensive positions. According to Ukrainian Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi, Ukraine seized this opportunity(opens in a new tab). Within weeks, Ukrainian defence forces liberated eight settlements and more than 400 square kilometres of territory, taking advantage of the collapse of Russian command and communications. In February 2026, for the first time since the Kursk Offensive, the Ukrainian Defence Forces regained control of more territory(opens in a new tab) than Russia had managed to capture. The Ukrainian offensive continues, as do the Russian army’s communications problems. Russia’s own Starlink? Currently, Russian military correspondents and analysts are actively promoting a familiar narrative, urging battlefield units to remain patient until the Russian army’s alleged invulnerability is restored. Officials have also claimed that Russia is preparing to develop the Rassvet satellite constellation(opens in a new tab), presented as an analogue to Starlink and described as superior to existing systems.
