Topics of the Week<\/h2>\n

Twitter is banning the methods used by bots and trolls<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0to spread false stories on the network. Twitter users will no longer be able to post identical messages from multiple accounts or use software to perform other simultaneous actions.<\/em><\/p>\n

A new report by the US Congressional House Science, Space and Technology Committee presents previously\u00a0<\/em>undisclosed social media posts showing how Russian trolls sought to inflame tensions<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0over issues including climate change, fracking, and the Dakota Access pipeline.<\/em><\/p>\n

Russian think tanks and GONGOs that are less blatantly propagandistic enjoy good relations with Western researchers.<\/em><\/p>\n

According to a survey conducted by the Boris Nemtsov Foundation,\u00a0<\/em>40% of Germany\u2019s Russian minority only watches Russian TV and considers it to be the most trustworthy source of news<\/em><\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Good Old Soviet Joke<\/h2>\n

This is Armenian Radio; our listeners asked us: \u201cIs there life on other planets?\u201d We\u2019re answering: \u201cOn other planets there is\u00a0also<\/em>\u00a0no life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Policy & Research News<\/h2>\n

Defence, but also deterrence<\/strong><\/p>\n

Alina Polyakova and Spencer P. Boyer of the\u00a0Brookings Institute<\/a>\u00a0have published a new paper describing how the techniques of political warfare are evolving and represent a cheap and effective way to influence domestic affairs in foreign countries. They highlight that the threat will only increase in coming years and include a set of suggestions and recommendations for governments on preventing further meddling. The authors call for more government cooperation with the private sector, but also encourage deterring countries like the Russian Federation in non-conventional ways. According to the study,\u00a0\u201cWestern governments should develop a strategy of deterrence against political warfare with clearly defined consequences for specific offensive actions.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0They should also\u00a0\u201ctake a principled public stance on attribution\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Russian GONGOs and their relations with the West<\/strong><\/p>\n

Carolina Vendil Pallin and Susanne Oxenstierna of the\u00a0Swedish Defence Research Agency<\/a>\u00a0focus on one of the Kremlin\u2019s typical tools of spreading influence abroad \u2013 think tanks and GONGOs. They present nine case studies about organizations like the Russian Institute for Strategic Studies, the Dialogue of Civilizations, and the Information Security Institute. According to their findings, those organizations which are less inclined towards pro-Kremlin advocacy activities usually retain\u00a0\u201cthe best relations with Western researchers\u201d<\/em>, and often enjoy invitations to conferences and other events in the West.<\/p>\n

US Developments<\/h2>\n

US states look to regulate tech companies<\/strong><\/p>\n

While lawmakers in Washington, DC sit on the sidelines, some state legislatures are taking matters into their own hands and\u00a0moving to regulate<\/a>\u00a0tech companies based on concerns about future (Russian) electoral interference. States including Maryland, New York, and Washington have introduced legislation that would reveal more information about online political advertising to local voters. Meanwhile, California is aiming to target and constrain social media bot networks that amplify fake content. An activist group leader in California who helped spearhead the nascent legislation says,\u00a0\u201cThe country is clamoring for these bills, they\u2019re clamoring for these protections online, and Washington is falling down on the job.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Although Congress has held numerous hearings over the past year with Facebook, Twitter, and Google regarding Russia\u2019s influence efforts during the 2016 election \u2013 and even threatened regulation \u2013 no meaningful action has followed. For example, the\u00a0Honest Ads Act<\/a>\u00a0(a bill to impose ad-transparency requirements on web platforms, introduced by Democratic Senators Mark Warner and Amy Klobuchar) has not been formally debated in the five months since its introduction. Local policy-makers and their supporters hope that action at the state level will slowly spur change at the national level.<\/p>\n

Russian trolls sought to inflame tensions over climate change and more<\/strong><\/p>\n

Confirming that Russian social media manipulation extends beyond the 2016 presidential election, the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology has published a\u00a0new report<\/a>\u00a0that presents previously undisclosed material showing how Russian trolls sought to exacerbate tensions over sensitive partisan issues such as climate change, fracking, and the Dakota Access pipeline.<\/p>\n

For\u00a0example<\/a>, one Facebook post published by a Russian-controlled group called \u2018Native Americans United\u2019 shows what appears to be a girl with braided hair looking out over an unspoiled prairie. It was captioned, \u201cLOVE WATER NOT OIL, PROTECT OUR MOTHER, STAND WITH STANDING ROCK [a reference to a Native American tribe that opposed the Dakota pipeline]\u201d. The post added, \u201cNO PIPELINES. NO FRACKING. NO TAR SANDS.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The report found that between 2015 and 2017, 4,334 Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts controlled by the St. Petersburg troll factory (Internet Research Agency) produced more than 9,000 posts and tweets pertaining to US energy and climate policy. It also highlights how Russians exploit both sides of controversial issue debates in American politics: the posts in question alternately assumed environmentalist and climate-skeptic viewpoints.<\/p>\n

Tech companies take slow steps to crack down on fake news<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last week, we reported that Twitter is banning the methods used by bots and trolls to spread fake content. Facebook has now\u00a0announced<\/a>\u00a0that it will employ a staff of 20,000 to monitor content for disinformation by the end of 2018 \u2013 double the current number. Sheryl Sandberg has publically vowed that the company is taking steps to fight fake news,\u00a0including<\/a>\u00a0hiring teams of third-party fact-checkers and increasing the transparency and security surrounding political ads that feature on the platform. She also acknowledged that Facebook is\u00a0\u201cdefinitely playing catch-up, and we acknowledge that. But we are working hard to get ahead and stay ahead.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Here\u2019s to hoping!<\/p>\n

The NRA faces growing controversy for its links to Russia<\/strong><\/p>\n

The National Rifle Association (NRA) is facing increasing\u00a0scrutiny<\/a>\u00a0over its Russia ties \u2013 specifically its relationship with prominent Russian banker and close friend of Vladimir Putin, Alexander Torshin. Torshin is known as US conservatives\u2019 \u2018favorite Russian\u2019 \u2013 he is a paid lifetime member of the NRA and an ardent gun-rights activist. Coincidentally, he has also been accused of money laundering and other financial crimes by the Spanish government. Torshin is currently\u00a0under investigation<\/a>\u00a0by the FBI about whether he illegally funneled money to the NRA to help sway the 2016 presidential election in favor of Donald Trump. The NRA allegedly spent an unprecedented $55 million on the election campaign, the majority of which derived from a sector of the organization that isn\u2019t mandated to disclose donor identity.<\/p>\n

Notably, Torshin was\u00a0invited<\/a>\u00a0by American gun-rights activist Kline Preston to attend the 2012 presidential election as an international observer. Preston, who is a conservative lawyer and has done quite a bit of business in Russia, also introduced Torshin to NRA president David Keene in 2011. In 2015, Torshin\u00a0tweeted<\/a>:\u00a0\u201cI was there at Obama\u2019s last election! The NRA card, to me as an observer from Russia, opened access to any [polling] station.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Through the NRA, Torshin was also invited to attend a national prayer breakfast in February 2017 with newly-inaugurated President Trump. Notably, his longtime assistant Maria Butina was also one of several Russians to attend Trump\u2019s inaugural celebrations.<\/p>\n

The Kremlin\u2019s Current Narrative<\/h2>\n

World, listen to Russia<\/strong><\/p>\n

One can easily guess last week\u2019s leading man in the Russian media. It was Vladimir Putin (surprise, surprise!) announcing the development of\u00a0\u201cinvincible\u201d new weapons<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Internet reacted immediately. Most Western observers noted that Putin\u2019s speech sounded like the opening of a new chapter in the arms race. The speech received extensive international coverage, evident from a detailed overview by Vzglyad, which noted happily that\u00a0\u201cthe West takes new Russian capacities very seriously\u201d.<\/a>\u00a0It\u2019s the dream of a Russian imperialist come true: the world is watching us, the world fears us!<\/p>\n

While Vzglyad was working hard to feed Russians\u2019 sense of national pride, RT chose a different line, emphasising that\u00a0it wasn\u2019t Russia that started a new arms race, but rather the United States<\/a>. In fact, in his interview with NBC, Putin said that the U.S. \u201cprovoked\u201d Russia twice:\u00a0Putin blamed Washington\u2019s 2002 withdrawal from the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty (ABM Treaty) for escalating the confrontation. \u201cIf we are to speak of an arms race, then an arms race started precisely at that point\u201d. In the years following, the US has encircled Russia with its missile defense installations, extending its anti-missile shield to Romania and Poland, deploying for the first time a battery of Patriot long-range anti-aircraft system to Lithuania for war games.<\/em><\/p>\n

Apparently, it wasn\u2019t enough to blame the U.S. for \u201cforcing\u201d Russia to enter a new arms race, at least according to the Head of the Upper House Foreign Relations Committee, Konstantin Kosachev. Going an astonishing step farther, Kosachev\u00a0said<\/a>, \u201cPutin was very clear on the message that Russia does not threaten any country,\u00a0Russia does not challenge any country<\/u>\u00a0and Russia does not plan to force its national interests on any country<\/em>.\u201d He must be speaking of a Russia in a parallel universe…<\/p>\n

Kremlin Watch Reading Suggestion<\/h2>\n

Russians in Germany<\/strong><\/p>\n

Seeing what an important role Russian minorities play in countries like Ukraine and the Baltics, it is crucial that every state with a Russian diaspora is deeply tuned in to their respective minority.\u00a0<\/strong>A good example of such knowledge is the older but still very topical\u00a0survey<\/a>\u00a0of Russians in Germany by the Boris Nemtsov Foundation, which focuses on issues such as social integration and media use, as well as attitudes towards democracy, Europe, minority groups, and Russian foreign affairs.<\/p>\n

One of the main findings of the survey is that four out of five respondents feel integrated in German society, with age and language skills being the most influential variables. In addition, although most respondents learn about current affairs from both German and Russian language sources, 37% of Internet users only visit Russian speaking sites, and 40% of TV consumers only watch Russian TV, which they also consider to be the most trustworthy source of news. In general, trust towards the Russian media is considerably higher than towards Western media. At the same time, respondents are significantly more satisfied with democracy in Germany than with democracy in Russia, and, interestingly, gender equality is considered to be the most important characteristic of democracy (even more important than, for example, free opposition). More than half of the respondents have very limited knowledge about the EU, and nearly every second respondent believes that the West is prejudiced towards Russia.<\/p>\n

Many more interesting findings are to be found in the survey!<\/p>\n
