Summary

A Russia-linked propaganda campaign in Germany, disguised as a humanitarian exhibit called “Alley of Angels,” is working to erode public support for Ukraine.

Organized by Soviet-born activists, the campaign has ties to Russian intelligence and Kremlin-backed media. German intelligence has reported increased Russian interference ahead of elections.

Documents suggest a GRU officer in Moscow received updates on the campaign’s infiltration of protests.

While organizers deny Kremlin links, evidence points to Moscow’s broader strategy of influencing European opinion and destabilizing German politics amid continued Western support for Ukraine.

But the lovely active participants at ml said that campaigns from Russia, China or the republicans are all in our collective imagination and probably the fault of nazi europe both not being nazi enough so that the population wants to vote for more nazis organically and also too nazi so they provoke the famously denazificative Russia

Make it make sense

Nato propagandists are organising a tour around educational institutions in my country to convince people that military spending needs to be increased and sell nationalist pro war talking points. I’m more worried about them than the Russians tbh.
