Belgorod: Russian brainwashing machine is out of control

1. In terms of information, Russians are very weak. Unfortunately, our Western friends do not understand that and are afraid of an information war with them. Even minimal investments in this aspect would yield multiple benefits.

2. I can guarantee that Russians may make military conclusions, but not information warfare conclusions. The reason lies in the very structure of their information market. And its inflexibility on the global scale. They have built a perfect brainwashing machine in a perfect controlled environment where there are no outside attacks.

3. Yesterday it was very noticeable how everyone was forbidden to speak or write anything until the afternoon. Then, once it became clear that concealing the information was no longer possible, the floodgates were opened, and even loyalists of the regime started posing uncomfortable questions. Meanwhile, the government remained typically silent. They abandoned their previous tactics of withholding information.  

From a military point of view, this operation was hardly outstanding, but it effectively exposed Russia’s vulnerability in terms of information warfare. And now, wonderful prospects are opened before us.
