Welcome to the 1st edition of international #vatnik's! Today I'll be discussing a prominent figure in the disinfo/conspiracy scene - a lady called Maram Susli AKA PartisanGirl (.@Partisangirl). Originally from Damascus, her family moved to Australia when she was a child.

1/7 Image
She has a degree in biophysics and chemistry, which apparently makes her an expert on geopolitical issues. In her Twitter profile she claims to be a "Scientist", yet she has written only opinion pieces and outright propaganda without a single trace of actual research.

2/7
Maram emerged as an online personality in 2011 during the Arab Spring, but became much more active at the time of the Syrian Civil War. Her stance has generally been anti-US and Syrian rebels and pro-al-Assad and Russia.

3/7
She has contributed to Russian propaganda outlet New Eastern Outlook and also published in Duginist Journal of Eurasian Affairs. In addition, she has made appearences on Russia Today and the Iranian Press TV and occasional contributions to Al Mayadeen.

4/7 Image
Susli is a big fan of conspiracy theories. She has discussed the Ghouta chemical attack conducted by the 🇸🇾 government with conspiracy theorist Alex Jones on his show, InfoWars, and claimed that the attack was done by the 🇸🇾 rebels. This theory was debunked by .@bellingcat.

5/7 Image
She also blames the usual suspects, Illuminati, NWO and the Freemasons about the problems in 🇸🇾 and around the world. In addition, she has stated that both al-Qaeda and ISIS are front organizations for the CIA, that 9/11 was an inside job...

6/7 Image
... and that Ebola is a chemical weapon developed by the US.

Susli also has close ties to neo-Nazi media networks, and she has appeared on Holocaust denier Ryan Dawson's, KKK figure David Duke's and neo-nazi Richard Spencer's podcasts.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll introduce an American social media influencer, Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson). He’s best known for his plagiarism while working as a clickbait “journalist”, and for being paid by the Kremlin to spread anti-Ukraine and anti-Democratic narratives.

1/23 Image
Benny graduated from the University of Iowa in 2009 with a degree in developmental psychology. His former high school buddy described him as the “smartest, most articulate kid in school,” and was disappointed to see him turn into a “cheating, low standard hack.”

2/23 Image
After graduating, Benny dived directly into the world of outrage media. Benny’s first job was writing op-eds for far-right website Breitbart, from where he moved on to TheBlaze, a conservative media owned by Glenn Beck, and a spring board for many conservative influencers.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll introduce a Cypriot politician and social media personality, Fidias Panayiotou (@Fidias0). He’s best known for his clickbait YouTube stunts and for voting against aid to Ukraine and the return of abducted Ukrainian children from Russia.

1/20 Image
Fidias hails from Meniko, Cyprus. In 2019, he began posting videos on YouTube. After a slow start, he found his niche with clickbaity, MrBeast-style content featuring silly stunts, catchy titles and scripted dialogue. Today, Fidias has 2,7 million subscribers on YouTube.

Fidias’s channel started with trend-riding, but he found his niche in traveling without money — aka freeloading. In one video, he fare-dodged on the Bengaluru Metro. The train authority responded by saying they would file a criminal case against him.

In today’s May 9th Vatnik Soup, we discuss the ambiguous relationship of the Kremlin with Nazism and explain why so many vatniks can be outright Nazis, and promote or excuse them while at the same time being so hysterical about alleged “Nazis in Ukraine”.

1/23 Image
Of course, Kremlin propaganda employs the Firehose of Falsehood and often lacks any consistent ideology other than spreading chaos and seeking power, so such contradictions can be commonplace. However in this case there is a certain cynical consistency there.

2/23 Image

To understand modern Russia, we need to go back a hundred years to the beginnings of Soviet Russia/Soviet Union — a genocidal terror regime under dictators Lenin and Stalin, whose totalitarian and imperialist legacy Putin’s Russia fully embraces.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll discuss the state of X in May 2025. Since its acquisition by Elon Musk, this platform has rapidly transformed into his personal political tool and a breeding ground for hate speech and disinformation.

1/22 Image
Not everyone is following this shitshow as closely as I am, so I thought it would be good to write a summary of all the changes that have happened on this forum and outside of it. These changes have drastically changed how the platform operates and who gets “a voice” here.

2/22 Image
Image
Elon’s team has been tweaking the algorithm many times after the takeover. One of these tweaks happened already around Nov 2022, when the platform heavily suppressed the visibility of pro-Ukraine accounts. This change was then noticed & reported by many pro-Ukraine accounts.

In today’s 350th Vatnik Soup, I’ll introduce an American comedian and podcaster, Dave Smith (@ComicDaveSmith). He’s best-known for his numerous appearances on the Joe Rogan Experience and for his unhinged takes on the Russo-Ukrainian War.

1/22 Image
Smith has a massive megaphone - he’s a good friend of Joe Rogan, and he’s appeared on Joe’s podcast a whopping 16 times. Naturally, he’s also visited Lex Fridman’s podcast and frequently appears on Fox News’ Kennedy and The Greg Gutfeld Show.

Dave is part of the Kremlintarian section of the Libertarian Party called Mises Caucus. They took control of the party in May 2022, and with the help of their new leader, Angela McArdle, turned it into an extension of the MAGA Republicans:

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll introduce a Russian journalist, Leonid Ragozin (@leonidragozin). He’s best-known for posing as a Russian dissident, while at the same time sneakily promoting the Kremlin’s narratives about the Russo-Ukrainian War.

1/20 Image
On paper, Leonid doesn’t look like your typical Kremlin apologist - he’s written and worked for prestigious Western outlets like the BBC, the Guardian, and he’s even written some Lonely Planet guides for the Baltic countries!

2/20 Image
Image
But Ragozin’s public commentary often seems to walk a fine line: condemning the war while pushing narratives that shift blame, dilute responsibility, or quietly carry the same old imperial baggage Russia - or its opposition - has never truly forgotten.
