Disinfo: In terms of the Sputnik V vaccine, the Polish hatred towards Russia prevails over reason

Summary

Geopolitics should not play any role when it comes to health or freedom of choice. Many people in Slovakia trust the Russian vaccine more than the vaccines from the Western countries, so it is good that they will have a choice.

Poland is one of the countries where hatred towards Russia is so strong that it often prevails over reason when making strategic decisions – this situation harms the country. Slovakia is much more pragmatic and a large part of our nation respects Russia, especially the sacrifice of the Russian people in the liberation of this country from Fascism.

Disproof

This is a recurrent pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the “Russophobic” Poland and Sputnik V vaccine.

The claim that Poland rejects the Sputnik V vaccine because of Russophobia is disinformation.

This vaccine has not been approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) yet. EMA announced on the 4th March 2021 that it has started a rolling review of Sputnik V. In this situation, the Polish authorities declared that they will not put Polish lives at risk until they receive results from the EMA.

See other examples of messages connected to the Sputnik V: Western attacks on the Russian coronavirus vaccine are a corporate cold war against humanity, Russian progress in COVID-19 vaccine has become for the West an outrageous challenge and The West wants to discredit the Sputnik V.

Disinfo: Amnesty International admits that Alexei Navalny is a mere criminal

Convict blogger Alexei Navalny is not a prisoner of conscience, as Amnesty International concluded, miraculously admitting that he is a mere criminal. This globalist organisation has historically responded to the interests of the West, so this is a real blow to those who call for the release of this man convicted by fraud and embezzlement, and makes them accomplices of a member of organised crime.

Disproof

The claim is false. Amnesty International has explained that it withdrew its consideration of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny as prisoner of conscience because he had, in the past, made comments which may have amounted to advocacy of hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, violence or hostility, which doesn’t fit in its own definition of the term. While this decision has been highly controversial, this is very different from “admitting that he is a criminal”.

Charges against Navalny are politically motivated and were presented while he was recovering in Berlin after the poisoning attempt on his life six months earlier, as a means of forcing him to stay in exile. The European Court of Human Rights, where Russia is a member, has concluded that the original charges against Mr Navalny was politically motivated. The EU has condemned the detention of Alexei Navalny and called for his immediate release.

Disinfo: EU sanctions on Russia are illegal and absurd

The EU sanctions on Russia follow no logic, which points to the fact that they are based on an absurd premeditated story supported by a media campaign.

Disproof

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about sanctions.

Series of EU restrictive measures on Russian individuals and entities are a response to Russia’s actions undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine, and to Russia’s use of chemical weapons in an assassination attempt against opposition leader Alexei Navalny, his unlawful imprisonment, and repression against Russian demonstrators.

Disinfo: Liberalism made the Westerners hedonistic, immoral and under the control of Satan

As a result of liberalism, people in Western societies are hedonistic, immoral, nihilistic and increasingly involved in Satanism. They are effectively under the control of Satan. Liberalism breaks down moral constraints and makes man a slave to his own lust, free to pursue his desires and cravings. The media in Western societies increasingly spreads Satanist values. The Westernisation and modernisation of non-Western societies is a means to Satanise these societies.

Disproof

Disinformation that combines three related pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives . The first narrative claims that Satanism is the value-system of the global secret elites, whose alleged aim is to destroy traditional religious and values, paving the way for an immoral, hedonistic and unregulated society. The second narrative is about the moral decadence of the West. The third narrative claims that the liberal West seeks to export its hostility to traditional values, materialism and perverse attitudes to non-Western nations.

There is no evidence that supports the article’s claim that people in the Western societies are hedonistic, immoral, nihilistic and under Satan’s control. This claim is not based on facts.
