Moscow unexpectedly has a new “hero” in the United States — Vivek Ramaswamy. He is 38 years old and is called the new star of the Republican Party. Moscow liked him because he spoke about “the need to stop helping Ukraine.”
We should be prepared that such narratives will intensify during the electoral race in the United States. Moreover, Russian special services are trying to enhance them in every possible way. This is reported by The New York Times and CNN with reference to declassified materials of American intelligence.
Currently, Russian special services are implementing long-term programmes through private individuals. The Russians who cooperate with the FSB, or the operatives themselves, establish relationships with influential or potentially influential people in the United States and European countries to disseminate information beneficial to the Kremlin.
“When Russia tried to influence public opinion in the United States before the 2016 presidential election, it used methods that had a short-term effect: increasing tensions through social media posts and spreading disinformation to undermine Americans’ trust in democratic institutions.
But the new intelligence describes how Russian special services, including the FSB, are implementing long-term programmes through private individuals. The Russians who cooperate with the FSB, or the operatives themselves, establish relationships with influential or potentially influential people in the United States and European countries to disseminate information beneficial to the Kremlin,” states The New York Times.
True, the vast majority of Americans (Republicans and Democrats) and Europeans are on the side of Ukraine, but Moscow manages to find separate niches, which, with the help of special services, are filled with propaganda.
