Some people have learned to use the internet (which started in the 90’s as a ways of communicating all sorts of information, all of the time, to all parts of the world, without any limitation) as a way of promoting their own interest based or twisted political agendas. And that’s what Russia is trying to do everywhere in the world.
But I still think that this is only as powerful as their military equipment dating from the 80’s: I will only work on weak opponents.
But still: caution, caution, caution
The propaganda is working on you.
Here's an old joke:
American man: Why did you come to study in the US?
Chinese man: Because I wanted to learn about the most effective propaganda.
American man: But we don't have propaganda here.
Chinese man: Exactly.
I’m not saying this isn’t true. That’s what Noam Chomsky is talking about in his books.
But Russian propaganda is direct, old-style Kremlin-designed and even Kremlin-believed alternate reality.
So you are afraid from the shadow of the devil. Because of this you go and hug the ankle of the devil. That’s what you are doing right now.
(Or at least that’s how I see it)
