Estonia, "the tiny ex-Soviet state" as headline writers often describe it, is actually larger than mid-sized European states like Denmark & Switzerland. Country size doesn't actually matter, but here's some clichés that really are worth avoiding. More: propastop.org/eng/2022/03/30…

Estonia: both a “threat” and “abandoned”? Russian media is pushing conflicting narratives at once—on drones, arms production, U.S. aid, and the Church. Not to make sense, but to shape perception. Read more 👇

One lie can be a mistake. A pattern isn’t. FIMI isn’t about a single fake story. It’s coordinated, repeated, and amplified — built to slip into another country’s information space and quietly shape how people think. Read more on FIMI below

March proved how easy it is to bend reality: a few posts, some emotions, and suddenly Estonia is portrayed as unstable, divided, and even dangerous. That’s how narratives are built — not from facts, but from repetition. Reda the overview in full below

“Estonian journalists found Ukrainian drone launch sites” — sounds serious. Look closer. Not journalists. Not evidence. Just familiar propaganda figures recycling an old narrative. A random website with no contacts. “Satellite images” with no proof. Claims built on “local sources.” Same pattern: assumptions → repetition → “truth” Meanwhile, official data says the opposite — drones entered Estonia from Russia, not the other way around. Read how the narrative developed below

🚨 KaPo: The Kremlin's influence hasn't disappeared — it's gone into social media. Before the elections, the pressure will intensify, a record number of agents has been uncovered, and the church is still tied to Moscow. What's really happening? 👇 🔗kapo.ee/sites/default/…

A stray drone incident—then suddenly, Estonia is accused of launching attacks on Russia. Fabricated experts, false claims, and viral visuals pushed the story. Then doubt, blame, and suspicion followed at home. It doesn’t have to be true to spread. Read how the narrative was built 👇

You've probably seen the claims that Estonia let a Ukrainian drone through on purpose. Here's what actually happened — and how a navigation malfunction became a coordinated Russian disinformation operation. Full analysis on Propastop. Part 1 of the series ↓

Is Russia “cleaning” the internet — or tightening control? Disruptions, unstable apps, and VPN crackdowns suggest something bigger: a shift toward a controlled, permission-based network. Our latest analysis explores what’s really happening 👇

Everyone's asking if AI is making kill decisions in war. That's the wrong question. AI isn't pulling the trigger. But it's reshaping who gets targeted, how fast, and on what data — and most coverage is getting this badly wrong. What used to take days now takes minutes. Hundreds of targets processed in seconds. And the human "in control"? They're increasingly confirming choices, not making them from scratch. There's a gap between what the technology actually does and how it's being described in media and public debate. That gap is where narratives form — and where information operations find their opening. We broke down the technical reality vs. the simplified story being pushed in the information space.

War… but make it LEGO? These viral animations about the Iran conflict aren’t just memes. They’re engineered narratives turning real war into a game you won’t question. This is what propaganda looks like now. More - from the link in the comments.
