I spoke to @FRANCE24 about the recent investigation @nickbackovic and I conducted. You can download the full report here: logically.ai/articles/kremli…
🇷🇺 An online network of pro-Russian #activists are orchestrating a coordinated French-language #propaganda campaign across #Africa. Known as the #Russosphere, its messages spam online platforms.
Kyle Walter, head of US investigation at "Logically" was the guest of #EyeOnAfrica

Nous apprenons en lisant le dernier rapport de @LogicallyAI l’existence (chimérique sur les canaux de propagande) de l’Agence Panafricaine de Renseignement qui serait dirigée par le patron d’Afrique Média lancée le 6 septembre dernier 🤡

Nick and I conducted another investigation into Russian influence in Africa aided by access to a huge archive of communications totaling more than 10,000 posts, 1,000 documents, and 40 minutes of audio recordings

This week on @clickhereshow, we speak to one of the founders of @antibot4navalny - a small but mighty group of anonymous researchers who are systematically exposing Russian #bots and #disinformation campaigns.

If you study Doppelganger IO, two takeaways to ✍️ on brand new 🇷🇺-targeting 🧑 trolls for hire:
1) one account was earlier used as a 🇺🇦-targeting DG link bot 🤖
2) they are as talented in driving a wedge between 🇷🇺 opposition camps, as DG is between countries / social groups
Кремлеботы стали убеждать людей, что без Навального «оппозиции – конец»
▪️Проект «Блокировщик ботов» @antibot4navalny с 20 февраля обнаружил несколько троллей, которые притворяются сторонниками оппозиции. Ради своей легенды боты даже делают ретвиты критикующих Путина сообщений вроде такого: «Навальный был убит. Фашистами, засевшими в Кремле».
▪️«Мы никогда такого не встречали», – сказал «Агентству» представитель проекта. Из его слов следует, что это самая убедительная попытка сети провластных блогеров притвориться оппозиционерами.
▪️В день похорон Навального эта группа ботов продвигала тезисы о том, что вместе с гибелью Навального «умерла наша оппозиция» и «на свободную Россию будущего нет уже надежды».
▪️При этом уехавших из страны политиков «тролли» называют «онлайн-оппозицией» и обвиняют в том, что их «больше волнуют проблемы Запада».

Since our story came out just over a week ago, Ramzu Yunus is already back with another 'independence referendum' campaign in the works; after Detroit and Jackson, Mississippi, this time in Athens, Georgia. w/ @KyleWalter_ @LogicallyAI
ICYMI: (Thread) In our latest investigation for @LogicallyAI, American man Ramzu Yunus allegedly partnered with members of PMC Wagner's youth organization and travelled to Russia to meet with Russian officials and secure funding for US-based independence movements.
Back in February 2023, @nickbackovic and I identified the Russosphere network and have since uncovered a variety of related efforts, including our most recent investigation into US-based independence movements backed by Russia and PMC Wagner ⬇️

In today's #vatniksoup, I'll introduce a Belgian political activist, Luc Michel (@LucMichelPCN). He's best-known for his extreme far-right views, supporting and promoting Russia-orchestrated fake elections, and organizing a vast African fake news network, Russosphère.

The alarmism around Transnistria's call for Russian "protection" has to stop. Yes, the Kremlin is eager to destabilize Moldova. State media will play it up for a few days. But maintaining the status quo is more useful & more feasible for the Kremlin than annexation/invasion.

Yunus was featured in our Feb 2023 investigation into the Russosphere, where he had collaborated with the EODE—which had previously organized the team of observers for the 2014 referendums in Ukraine—to hold a “referendum” in Detroit with the goal of seceding from the United States and forming an independent “Republic of Detroit.” logically.ai/resources/kreml…
Kyle Walter retweeted
Via a website he operates, Yunus claimed this new partnership allows Wagner and Russia a “legal way to interfere in the United States” and that it puts "Russia back on the ground within enemy territory with the ability to lawfully use violence if necessary.”
