VATNIK SOUP

Vatniksoup is a Twitter thread series (and a hashtag!) where I'll introduce pro-Russian actors and propagandists from around the world, be they so-called "independent journalists", politicians, military personnel or just regular grifters looking to get some easy money.

The series also has introductions and deeper insights on how online propaganda and disinformation works and is spread. For example, I'll talk about troll farms, social media manipulation and Russia's online information operations.

This time we sat down and had a great interview with the Deputy Director of Hybrid CoE's Hybrid Influence COI, Jakub Kalenský. He's also a well-known scholar, who's published several groundbreaking papers on Russian disinformation.

In the first edition of Soup Talk, we interviewed a Lithuanian politician and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Gabrielius Landsbergis. During the interview, we discussed International politics, Ukraine, Russia, NAFO and pineapples.
