Ex-Russian, now Ukrainian Nevzorov will become media killer in authorities' hands

I am 200% sure that Russia's FSB has already integrated its agents into Ukraine's information space and that it will try to infiltrate even more of its agents of influence

One problem that I already see is the attempt to integrate "good Russians" into Ukraine's information space in order to "pump" various topics out through them. And there are numerous such examples. I can already say with certainty that Nevzorov will be actively engaged by the authorities during the upcoming elections.

"And he is a very powerful resource, a kind of professional media killer. In fact, no one in Ukraine equals the professional level he boasts. But I am more interested in other figures."

I am 200% sure that Russia's FSB has already integrated some of its agents into Ukraine's information space and that it will try to infiltrate even more agents of influence. These people will say what Ukrainians want to hear, publicly burn their Russian passports and try to get Ukrainian citizenship in order to work harder.  You will see a lot of pseudo-patriots who will talk about their love for Ukraine, their Russophobia and the fact that they have been against Putin since childhood. As they say, "for the sake of good words, they will not even spare their fathers."  And here we are not even talking about words alone, but about carrying out FSB-assigned assigned missions. An employee of Navalny's Izhevsk headquarters, Mykhailo Sokolov, who recently admitted that he had worked for the FSB for many years, immediately comes to mind.

And before that, he publicly worked for Navalny all these years, shouted "shame on Putin", was considered an opposition  figure while also carrying out tasks set by FSB. So don't underestimate these "good Russians".

"It is clear that they will try to integrate similar "good Russians" into Ukraine's information space. I vividly remember how they tried to integrate Ksyusha Sobchak, who "lived" in "Right to Power" at "1+1" into Ukraine's information space. Everyone on the channel knew that her appearance live on air was Yermak's demand".

Sobchak is not the first and not the last. There will also be "bloggers" and "vloggers" with Russian roots. There will be "ardent fighters against Putin" on the payroll of Russia's FSB and GRU. There are now and will be more.

And they will have different tasks. Some will work with the general public from Eastern and southern Ukraine. Others will discredit Ukrainian public opinion leaders, politicians, ideas, and events. Others will try to get into any government because of the long process of adsorption in Ukraine. In general, we should not forget that the FSB is highly familiar with and knows how to play the "long" game. And it is now up to the Ukrainian special services to find and stop similar agencies. 

I do not hope for critical thinking and rationalism among Ukrainians. Because Ukrainians now have more of an emotional approach to information than an analytical or rational one that leaves them gullible. And this will be exploited by Russia's special services. 

Therefore, trust fewer of these "good Russians" with murky backgrounds, who have flooded Ukraine's information space. And remember that critical thinking is safeguard against many mistakes.  Learn to think critically and analyze everything if you want to make fewer mistakes.
