Personally, I have always admired Russian propaganda. Don't get me wrong — it is just a scientific interest. Russian propaganda is multifaceted and one of the few things Russians do well.
I want to show you one of the implicit examples of Russian propaganda — Anatoliy Shariy.
Shariy is not a “classique” propagandist. He is not an open Z fan like Skabeeva, Solovyev or myriads of Russian war correspondents. He is much more careful and slippery.
Anatoliy presents himself as a Ukrainian journalist (sic!) who tells “another point of view”. We have seen it a lot of times when by “another POV” Russian agents inside of Ukraine tried to push pro-Russian narratives.
Currently, Shariy is hiding in Spain.
Shariy loves when Russians launch their missiles targeting Ukrainian cities. Because that's when he can share such beautiful news with his “Ukrainian” audience.
Ukrainian journalist, he says?
Imagine a Ukrainian who will put a fire emoji on the news about Russia launching the new offensive.
The only explanation for this is Anatoliy's Shariy audience is Russians.
Here you can see how Anatoly and his audience celebrate the caption of Ukrainian defenders by Russian terrorists.
Anatoliy Shariy loves Putin. That's why he is upset about the warrant from The Hague International Court.
“Look, Xi Jinping visited Putin. Putin is not a criminal!”
Putin visited Mariupol? Vladimir, Anatoliy Shariy and his audience send you respects!
Of course, Anatoliy Shariy is a fan of Kadyrov as well. Just look how he glorifies that terrorist with that “funny meme”.
His Russian audience cheers!
I've seen plenty of Shariy posts with his hate towards Baltic countries.
Why?
How much joy there is in shooting down an American drone!
You never asked for this. But this one is hilarious!
3 years ago, Shariy tried to steal Zelensky's faeces 😂
You can visit Shariy's Telegram channel and check his posts to ensure his Russian propaganda. The only problem is he frequently deletes posts to change his narratives.
Spain should extradite Russian propagandist Anatoly Shariy to Ukraine.

Since 2019, President Zelenskyy has made extraordinary efforts to bring peace to Ukraine.
But facing Putin’s relentless aggression, it’s clear: peace with Russia isn’t just elusive, it’s impossible.
Here’s a deep dive into why diplomacy has hit a dead end 🧵👇
Almost five years ago, on December 9, 2019, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said at the Normandy Four summit in Paris that he was setting a one-year deadline for himself to end the war in Donbas.
At the last of a series of meetings held since 2014, it was agreed:
🔹to reconvene in four months;
🔹to cease fire;
🔹to exchange war prisoners “all-for-all”;
🔹to disengage troops in new areas;
🔹to open new checkpoints.
However, at the end of November 2020, Oleksii Reznikov, Minister for Reintegration of Temporarily Occupied Territories, revealed that it would not be possible to fulfill this promise on time:
Я рідко пишу тут українською, але в цей раз це необхідно.
Друзі з #УкрТві, маємо історію гіршу за сорда чи няв. Тут справжня мафія, яка погрожує людям розправою за те, що вони ставлять питання про відсутність звітів за донати.

Stealing Ukrainian children is a part of the Russian genocidal strategy.
In this long read, I describe in detail how Russians kidnap Ukrainian children and which goal they pursue.
I would be grateful for your sharing this thread and expressing your opinions in replies 🔽
The consequences of war for a child are significant. After losing adult relatives during rocket attacks and bombings, children become orphans. Air bombs and artillery shelling are destroying their homes. Also, children have health problems, must live with mutilations, and overcome the mental trauma of war and stress.
Russians are also committing another war crime — the deportation of children to the territory of the Russian Federation or the temporarily occupied Crimea, followed by forced placement into Russian families.
During the first year of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, at least six thousand Ukrainian children were abducted into the territory of Russia and the annexed Crimea.
The Russian authorities call it a ‘rescue,’ but in reality, Russian occupiers simply kidnap children as war trophies, taking them out of their settlements and seeking to erase their identity.
On April 10, 2022, the Children of War portal published data on 19,384 deported minors. The figure announced by Russians is much higher: 750 thousand children. According to the head of the Save Ukraine Foundation, Mykola Kuleba, more than 1.5 million Ukrainian children in total remain in the territory of the Russian Federation or the occupied Ukrainian territories. As of March 13, 2023, 366 children are officially considered missing, and 16,226 were deported to the RF.
It is impossible to provide the exact number of affected children due to active hostilities and the temporary occupation of some parts of the Ukrainian territory.
As of September 2023, Ukraine managed to bring back only 386 children. There are at least 19,000 more identified Ukrainian children forcibly held in the Russian Federation.
Georgian Legion Twitter page and their website have severe problems with transparency.
I conducted my own investigation. You can do it, too. They have almost no reports on their page and not a single report on their website.
It looks suspicious ⬇️
I reviewed all the posts for last year's GL page activity.
It's almost impossible to check all their posts since they have tons of reposts, memes and engaging content. So, I filtered their posts using the advanced search.
I've considered all posts and replies below the posts for the last 1 year. I marked every post that is connected with collecting and raising money from the audience as a fundraiser.
As for reports, I count any photo/video of the sent packages, equipment, weapons or defenders who received the items.
Also, I count the total funds collected from a particular fundraiser as a report.
