In an attempt to convince its domestic audience that Russia is not isolated, the forum’s organizers were forced to invite far-right figures, Eurosceptics, and influencers with criminal backgrounds to "represent the West," praise Russia’s "traditional values," and echo narratives beneficial to the Kremlin.


The St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) has been held by Russia since 1997. Initially, it was a purely Russian forum hosted at the Tauride Palace and conceived as a ...

Behind every Russian missile strike comes a wave of manipulation and lies spread by Russian officials and propagandists.


On the night of June 15, 2026, Russia launched one of the largest attacks against Ukraine since the beginning of the full-scale war: 70 missiles and more than 700 drones struck targets across the country. Among the sites hit were the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and Mystetskyi Arsenal, an architectural monument of national significance.

In 2026, there are far fewer labor migrants in Ukraine than before the full-scale war. Yet there are far more disputes and manipulations about an alleged “influx of foreigners” who, in reality, are not coming here. We examined what triggers these waves.


On May 11, 2026, a petition was submitted to the Cabinet of Ministers demanding that the government “protect the national labor market” from migrants. It has already gathered ...

In 2026, Russia’s overseas campaign has firmly cemented its role as a mechanism of influence and propaganda logistics.


Ahead of May 9, 2026, Moscow officially received “permission” to hold its Victory Day parade within the coordinates of Red Square designated by a decree from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Although the Kremlin dismissed the move as “clownery,” it ultimately adhered to Kyiv’s recommendations and confined all the Pobedobesie (“victory mania”) ...
