Disinfo: The forces aimed at destroying the Russian Empire are concentrated in the Caucasus

Summary

Great Britain has carried out very active anti-Armenian, anti-Russian, anti-Iranian activities in this region, defending both Azerbaijan and Turkey. British intelligence is personally involved in the Caucasus and sponsors pan-Turkic development both in the region and in the Middle East. London’s goal is to alienate Russia and Iran from this region.

Here are concentrated the forces that aim to destroy the Russian Empire in all directions, which happened during the Soviet era.

Disproof

Recurrent pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about Russia as the ultimate target of international events, an ever-aggressive West and MI6 to destabilise whole regions, and long-term plans to encircle Russia.

See other examples in our database, such as as claims that clashes in Nagorno-Karabakh are part of an Anaconda Ring plan against Russia, the escalation in the Caucasus is directed against Russia, because someone wants to divert Moscow’s attention from Belarus and Syria; that the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh is a cover up operation, as was the 1956 Hungarian Revolution; that the US embassy in Armenia is a mini-Pentagon escalating tension in the region and the Middle East; or that the US is encircling Russia with biological labs for a future attack, that the escalation in Nagorno Karabakh is led by British intelligence services, and that the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict serves the purposes of Anglo-Saxons.

Disinfo: The water problem in Crimea is Ukraine's fault

The problem of providing water to the people and irrigating lands in Crimea appeared in 2014 when Ukraine unilaterally cut off the water coming through the North Crimean Canal from the Ukrainian province of Kherson to the peninsula.

Disproof

A recurring disinformation narrative to hide the truth about Ukraine, the Crimea, and the North Crimean Canal.

The main condition for the renewal of the agreements on the water supply to the Crimea is the presence of legitimate authorities on the peninsula, which are absent after the annexation in the Crimea.

Disinfo: The 2020 US presidential election was marked by fraud and media bias

There’s quite an amusing tweet from eight years ago, in which Donald Trump warns about electoral fraud: “‘It doesn’t matter who you vote for, it matters who is counting the votes.’ Be careful of voter fraud!” This is what Trump wrote a month before the 2012 presidential election.

And what is happening now is certainly astounding. Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani stated there had been machinations during the vote count. Even the OSCE notes the bias in the American TV channels’ coverage of the US election.

Disproof

The story is part of an emerging pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative seeking to delegitimise the conduct and results of the 2020 US presidential election.

The OSCE report referred to in the segment noted that President Trump had issued warnings of large-scale falsification "without presenting any substantial evidence of systematic malfeasance and contradicting election officials at all levels" (p. 3), and that "[i]n contrast to these allegations, national security agencies issued statements attempting to reassure citizens about the integrity of the election process" (p. 11).
