Vladimir Putin’s Russia is fueled by conspiracy theories, which have been spread by journalists and officials in collaboration with the Kremlin for two decades. In tsarist Russia and the Soviet period, censorship and puritanism were common, with Stalin using outbursts such as “Stalin’s Outbursts” in his books. Conspiracy theories and fake documents are common in Russian political and military literature, with influential Russian ideologists like Alexander the Great.
The first anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has led to a surge in false claims about the war on social media, with some posts gaining millions of views. A new conspiracy theory has emerged among online communities around QAnon, promoted by the Kremlin as a justification for its invasion.
As soon as the death of Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny in a Siberian penal colony was announced, conspiracy theories about who was behind it began circulating in Russia. The Russian invasion of Ukraine was characterized by these conspiracy theorists as a justified resistance against the “Khazarian Mafia” (so-called “fake Jews”) who were involved in the conflict.
Russian political elites use conspiracy theories to divide Russian society into a majority loyal to the Kremlin. Russian disinformation expert Ilya Yablokov tells The Conversation Weekly podcast about the president’s shifting relationship with the Kremlin and the spread of similar disinformation online.
In conclusion, Putin’s Russia is driven by conspiracy theories, with Western conspiracy theorists and the Kremlin spreading similar disinformation online.

📹 Ukraine War: UK accuses Russia of peddling ‘wild, baseless, conspiracy theories’
Russia’s attempt to accuse the US of building chemical weapons labs in Ukraine was met with a withering response from the UK.
My humble opinion. Tell Russia if Chemical or biological weapons are used in countries bordering NATO that could force a direct retaliation. As all kinds of NBC use can’t be confined locally to an certain area or whom they hit. The reason we banned their use in the first place as they are like landmines not choosers who the victim will be.
Украинцы! На нашей стороне Бог и Правда! Остальное всё не важно! Это только физические тела. Мы сами уже очищаем и свои души помогая друг-другу! И подаем миру пример! Живя по чести и совести просто отстаивая свою землю! Как говорится ” таков путь! ” . Ху..ло построил свою империю зла на крови невинных страхе и вранье. Но нам не страшно и по этому нас ему не подогнуть под себя, он падёт! Слава Украине!
Syria was one of the few middle east nations with many religions that live together in peace. With ancient Christian communities who still speak Aramaic. Before the USA and Britain started arming the Islamic State to take it over, just because Assad is a friend of Putin, and Putin is the only one with guts to speak against the USA and Britain selling arms to backward nations like Saudi Arabia, where women and other religions don’t have full human rights. Imagine if Putin became involved in helping Ireland get back N Ireland? Or any of the other countries under our control. We would be going crazy. Shows how brainwashed we are, when our people are still being harmed by extremists who trained in Libya after Gaddafi. We forget the secret service whistle blower David Shayler told how Thatcher was using British money to go along with the USA funding Al Qaeda in Libya against Gaddafi. A country people didn’t pay household bills, while more old British people were dying of the cold than before Tories stole and sold off public owned energy. Not to mention how Afghanistan wasn’t extremist before the USA armed and trained extremists there in the 80s to overthrow Russia. Then after the USA didn’t care what was going on in Afghanistan for years before 9/11, while ancient Buddhist statues were being blown up and females banned from education.
Isn’t it interesting that, as a rule, we wouldn’t allow someone to knock on our door and demand they forcibly take our property; yet, for some reason, one individual, with enough agglomerated power, is able to knock on a neighbouring country’s door and force their way in and aggressively claim it as theirs? 🤔
They are in one big club and we are not in it.what the last two years has taught us that every gov system in the world are corrupt and we are just cannon fodder for these despots.imo my advice for anyone thinking of joining any army put down your weapons and join in with your communities and fight for peace.if these govs want to destroy themselves then let them and their families go do it elsewhere.preferably mars.all life is too presious.seriously if all those troups just down tools and walked away and put that effort into their communities.
Many humans are not well and we all pay for that always have and maybe always will. One thing is sure health care needs to look into Narcissistic traits and do studies to eliminate that specific strand that create the never ending problem. The wars will find a way to continue . We need to be more open minded and look into this . It was the cause of all past wars and present !

I hate politics … what about uk and American did in Libya dropping bombs just because they didn’t like why was going on… Russia isn’t accusing these are true! But it’s not right what Russia is doing as two wrongs don’t make a right innocent die.
