Disinfo: No fake news comes from Russia

Summary

No Fake News has been recorded coming from inside Russia during the last period, especially not the ones referring to a Russian conspiracy theory that the US was behind the spread of Coronavirus.

Part of the completely false information being published against Russia, for example, that Russia sent agents to the UK and poisoned an unnecessary spy (Sergei Skripal) and his daughter (Yulia Skripal).

Disproof

Our database has so far caught more than 70 cases related directly to Russian outlets spreading disinformation about the coronavirus alone in several languages.

Russophobia is often used in pro-Kremlin disinformation as an explanation for the West blaming Russia for anything. This message also contains recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about the poisoning of Sergei Skripal and his daughter in Salisbury.

British police and intelligence investigations have produced hard forensic evidence which was sufficient to charge two Russian nationals, identified as officers of the Russian Military Intelligence, GRU, for the attack on the Skripals. Parts of the material have been released to the public.

Moldova and Armenia are subjected to total aggression by the George Soros monster

Moldova and Armenia are subjected to total aggression by the same sad monster George Soros. As well as by its mercenary gangs that have come together in a multitude of non-governmental organizations in these countries.

Disproof

A recurrent narrative about the influence George Soros has through his financing of NGOs supporting the developing countries like Moldova and Armenia. In fact, in these two countries, as in others with a weak democracy, the George Soros Foundation promotes human rights.

For instance, the Soros Foundation-Moldova was established in 1992 to promote the development of an open society in Moldova by developing and implementing a range of programs and activities that address specific areas of needs including media, justice and human rights, good governance, and public health.

The US State Department is trying to eradicate the Orthodox Church

The US State Department is committed to the eradication of world Orthodoxy by replacing it with a pseudo-Orthodox church based on the Istanbul Patriarchate. On this basis, an anti-canonical, schismatic sect is being created. It was this sect that recognised the PCU [the Orthodox Church of Ukraine].

March 06, 2020
Disproof

Conspiracy theory with no evidence. Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about Western interference in the affairs of the Orthodox Church. This claim also attempts to delegitimise the autocephaly of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, one of the pro-Kremlin media's ongoing disinformation campaigns against Ukraine, by claiming that the US inappropriately sought to influence the process.

The Constantinople Patriarchate, located in Istanbul, is one of 15 independent, self-governing Orthodox churches. However, the Constantinople Patriarchate, also known as the Ecumenical Patriarchate, enjoys the status of primus inter pares (first among equals) and is regarded by other Orthodox Christians as the representative and spiritual leader of the Orthodox world.

Coronavirus is another biological war against China and Iran

The Coronavirus may be caused by a US biological attack that targeted China first and then Iran.

There are great scientists who confirmed this concept (biological attack), including the Russian biological scientist Igor (Nikulin) who emphasised that this is not a normal virus and was formulated in laboratories.

The US has 25 dangerous laboratories surrounding China, Russia and Iran.

Even in American films, we see that the American administration carries about experiments and testing on Americans themselves.

It’s quite possible that Europe and America will gradually reveal the fact that they already possess a vaccine (for the Coronavirus), but are just waiting for the price to be raised in order to make more money by using it later on commercially.

Disproof

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the coronavirus.

See related disinformation cases alleging that the coronavirus is a plot against China, that the West has a cure for the coronavirus , that it is an artificial disease which specifically targets Chinese DNA, that it was created by American secret labs with economic goals, that some American movies have revealed what is happening behind “the secret American doors”.
