DISINFO: Latvia is under the rule of Anglo-Saxons, the threat of genocide is there

SUMMARY

Anglo-Saxons and the Western world has a long tradition of colonialism. Latvia is not independent in any sphere. Currently, Latvian nationalists mostly hate Russian sitting at home. However more energetic Ukrainian nationalist will come and offer to share violent ways of treating Russians. Where are the guarantees that no genocide will start in Latvia? Earlier this year George Soros announced in Davos that he will spend USD 1 billion for waging psychological wars. He gathers Russian-speaking people from all post-Soviet states, creates journalist communities which elaborate cognitive weapons and manipulation techniques, 25th frame in their photo and video publications. The events at Bolotnaya square and Russian regions were attempts to organize a colour revolution. However Vladimir Putin, political grandmaster, outrun them and announced a [constitutional] referendum on 22 April.

RESPONSE

This is a mix of conspiracy theories and recurring pro-Kremlin propagandistic narratives about lost sovereignty / external control, Russophobia in Latvia – in its extreme modification alleging a possible genocide against ethnic Russians / Russian-speaking population – and other Baltic states, West's attempts to stage a colour revolution in Russia and beyond, and about aggressive Anglo-Saxons in particular. In the pro-Kremlin media, the term “Anglo-Saxons” means “evil”, “belligerent” and “morally corrupt” Westerners, as explained by our earlier analysis. This publication also contains a Soros-related conspiracy, one among many others, none with evidence to support them, as explained in our story The All-Powerful Mr Soros. Read earlier disinformation cases alleging that the Russophobic Baltic States are beggars and vassals of the West, that the main activity of the Latvian state is the trade of Russophobia, and that coronavirus is an attempt by the Anglo-Saxons to control China.
