Igor Teterin and Allan Hantsom contribute to the launch of the new “Zemlyak” portal, which addresses mass statelessness, discrimination of Russian-language education, harassment of journalists and social inequality.

Both “Deukrainianization” and “Ukrainization” are used by Kremlin propagandists. One reveals the true goal of Russia’s war, the other attempts distorts an existing word to erode opposition to Russia’s war. Both need to be understood together.

Headlines displayed by Google News are highly trusted and spread fast. Yet Google’s algorithms can’t always tell the difference between journalism and propaganda, as shown by a review of results about Estonia in English.

Propastop has identified 17 Facebook groups of concern operating in Estonia. Here’s how to help combat their hate and misinformation.

In October, a Facebook webpage entitled “ERRor – новости эстонской госпропаганды” was published, in other words Estonian state propaganda news. The Kremlin-minded Allan Hantsom seems to be involved here.

The Russian-language editorial board of ERR must stop posting its news in groups that actively share anti-Estonian propaganda channels.

The Facebook webpage Za Buduštšeje is actively fighting against Estonian coronavirus policy. The site’s carriers have worked with activists spreading the Kremlin’s messages.

A new information portal in the Estonian, Russian-language information space is gaining attention, the authors are, Klenski, Hantsom, Blintsova and others, which are well known to readers of Propastop.

The news of the closure of fake accounts in recent weeks does not mean that the public should stop being vigilante. There are still groups on Facebook that distribute Kremlin propaganda materials.

Propastop has reviewed the organizations and related people named in the KAPO (Estonian Internal Security Service) yearbook.
