I am reposting this from the Russian media outlet Fontanka after one of their correspondents spent several hours in the company of organized “fighters against fakes.” On March 11, the Cyber Front Z channel appeared on Telegram. The first post in it was published the next day with the announcement of recruitment into the cyber troops. “The more successfully our soldiers fight the plague in Ukraine, the more fakes and information attacks appear on us. The Ukrainian propaganda machine is in full swing. They wish us death, and Russia - collapse. Only together we can resist these attacks! We are opening Operation Z Cyber Front to fight back in the information field the propagandists of the Kyiv junta funded by the Western world,” the entry said. For the needs of the "front" spammers, commentators, content analysts, designers, and programmers were required. For working conditions, it was proposed to contact Alexander, in the description of his profile in Telegram, he called himself a “battalion commander of the cyber front”. The Fontanka correspondent went to an interview, passed it successfully, and worked for a day in the cyber troops. How it was and what does the famous Olginsky trolls have to do with it - in the Fontanka report.
The detail is intriguing. Must have been what the Internet Research Office had been like. It’s interesting that the leaders come in believing misinformation to start; so it’s very easy for them to believe and pass it on. Thank you for this necessary inside look at the issue.
