In today's #vatniksoup,I'll introduce a Russian diplomat, SVR officer & First Deputy Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN, Dmitry Alekseevich Polyanskiy (@Dpol_un). He's best-known for promoting Western,pro-Kremlin fake news blogs & individuals like @TheGrayzoneNews.
1/22 Image
Dima was previously stationed in Warsaw, from where he then moved on to work in New York to work under Vasily Nebenzya, the current Permanent Representative of Russia to the United Nations, and the man who had to announce the infamous "Ukrainian combat mosquitos".

2/22
Now, before we move on, it's worth mentioning that Dima is actually an officer of SVR, Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service.He comes from the so-called PR or Public Relations line, so he's not exactly the James Bond of the agency, but he still has a lot of influence & power.3/22 Image
Now, there's nothing new at using agents as diplomats, and Russia has utilized this strategy since the days of the KGB. For example,in Finland 1/3 of Russian embassy staff in Helsinki were intelligence agents & a lot of them were expelled recently from the Nordic countries.

He's relatively happily married (we'll get to that later), and his daughter, Anastasiya, was married to a Georgian man. Now, Dima absolutely despises Georgians. Which is why he was extremely happy when his daughter and her Georgian husband decided to file for a divorce.

So, Dima (allegedly) lives a happy life in Manhattan, New York, and apparently enjoys his life in the biggest NATO country out there, eating at the fanciest restaurants. At the same time, he's constantly trashing the oh-so decadent West.

Hypocrisy much?

6/22
Image
Image
Often tweeting against the "decadent West", it seems that Dima has also been corrupted by it - he's had intimate, extramarital relations with Lenka Houskova White AKA @whitelenka, a former Sputnik journalist and model from the Czech Republic.

Unfortunately, Dima and Lenka recently split up and he now has a new mistress from the office where he works at. They still like and comment on each other's tweets, though, which is kinda cute!

We couldn't reach out to Dmitry's wife, Maria, for a comment on the matter.

Polyanskiy seems to have his tentacles everywhere in the Western vatnik space. His favorite outlet seems to be the Grayzone blog, and he's appeared with the GZ boys @MaxBlumenthal and @aaronjmate on few occasions. Here he is denying any invasion before the war started.

9/22
He's also appeared on Hinkle's "The Dive", @ReadeAlexandra's podcast, and even allegedly talked with Sarah "Donbass Devushka" Bils. She's a pathogical liar, though, and everything she says should be taken with skepticism.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was actually Dima who invited both Max and Aaron to speak at the United Nations Security Council on behalf of Russia. Actually, I'm gonna take this a step further - I wouldn't be surprised if Dima was the handler of these two and Hinkle.

11/22

In general, Russia has turned United Nations' Security Council into a circus, inviting pro-Kremlin grifters like Blumenthal and Maté to spread the Russian lies. Hell, they even invited Ray McGovern who spent his 15 minutes of fame speaking German and singing peace songs.

12/22
Considering how much The Grayzone boys, Hinkle and Ritter hate the "deep state" and the Western version of the three letter agencies, they seem to have no problem in interacting with their Russian counterparts like the SVR.

13/22

Image
Image
Image
I guess we can also take a look at Dmitry's tweets and appearances, but the content is pretty much what you'd expect: "Ukrainian Nazis", "8 years of shelling in Donbas", the corrupt and hypocritical West, Holodomor denial, mainstream media cannot be trusted, yada yada...

14/22


Image
Image
Image
Image
Initially, Polyanskiy was certain that Russia wasn't going to attack and blamed the West for propaganda. Of course, this story has since changed from "Russia won't invade Ukraine" to "NATO forced us to invade" now that Putin's genocidal war in Ukraine is evident.

15/22
Image
Image
Ironically, Dima's profile states that he "rejects hatespeech, lies and fake news," but that's pretty much the only thing you can find on his feed. He's shared content from "citizen journalists" and "analysts" like Hinkle, @MyLordBebo, @GonzaloLira1968 and @narrative_hole.

16/22

Image
Image
Image
Many of the people Dima follows have been featured on #vatniksoup previously: Sonja van den Ende, Kim Dotcom, David Sacks, Richard Z AKA Trollstoy88, Nina Byzantina, Wyatt Reed... The whole thing is just absurd, considering he's a high-rank UN official.

17/22


Image

Image

Dmitry loves talking about the "Ukrainian Nazis", often citing "journalists" like Maté and Johnny Miller. Of course he knows that the "neo-Nazi problem" in Ukraine is mostly fabricated, and it's actually Russia that has a problem with Nazis:

Image
Image
If we disregard the absurdity of the "de-nazification" conducted by actual Nazis, maybe Dima can answer this question: Why were the Azov leaders exchanged for corrupt Ukrainian oligarch, Viktor Medvedchuk, during a prisoner exchange?

19/22 Image
It's almost like it was never about the "de-nazification" rather than about putting Putin's friends into power in Ukraine. Of course, most of us knew that already, which is why the whole "Ukrainian Nazis" narrative is being ridiculed all over social media.

20/22
Image
Image
On 14 Jul 2023, Dima appeared on "Maverick News" together with elite war analyst and convicted sex criminal, Scott Ritter. The discussion revolved around "NATO expansion", "money laundering" in Ukraine, evil "Ukrainian Nazis" and how Zelensky "let down the Ukrainians".

21/22 Image
To conclude: Polyanskiy is an SVR officer who keeps close contact with many of the Western vatniks, probably even collaborating and coordinating together with them.

This soup was brewed together with the fellas known as the Unintelligence Agency.

In today’s #vatniksoup, I’ll introduce an American far-right social media personality, Nicholas J. Fuentes (@NickJFuentes). He’s best-known for his white supremacist, misogynistic and antisemitic rhetoric, and for being the poster boy for the so-called incel movement.

1/17 Image
Like so many from the white supremacist movement, Fuentes dropped out of university after his freshman year. He studied introductory international relations, which apparently made him a geopolitics expert. Nick was introduced to the white supremacist movement at an…

..early age - he took part in the infamous Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville,Virginia. In 2017, Fuentes launched his political talk show “America First”. Initially the show was aired on Trump-aligned Right Side Broadcasting Network, but it was dropped after the rally.

In today’s #vatniksoup, I’ll discuss foreign malign influence operations during the 2024 US elections. As in 2016 and 2020, these recent elections were also a target of massive disinformation and hacking campaigns originating mostly from Russia and Iran.

1/17 Image
First of all, my opinion is that these influence operations alone didn’t affect the elections so much, that they actually made a difference.

Unlike in 2016, Trump’s win over Harris was clear and these short-term campaigns didn’t really change that much this time.

2/17 Image
Yet, many of these online campaigns attacked both Harris and Walz on various social media platforms. Especially Walz became a big target after his nomination, and many Russian efforts attempted to defame him.

In today’s #vatniksoup, I’ll introduce a social media personality and TV presenter, Raisa Blommestijn (@rblommestijn). She’s best-known for her far-right rhetorics, spreading conspiracy theories, and spreading anti-Ukraine and pro-Kremlin narratives on Dutch television.

1/24 Image
Raisa studied philosophy of law at Leiden University. The faculty is best-known for one of its professors, Paul Cliteur. He’s a member of the pro-Kremlin party Forum voor Democratie (FvD), where he is one of the leading figures.Cliteur is also known for supervising the FvD…

In today’s #vatniksoup, I’ll introduce an American podcaster, Darryl Cooper (@martyrmade). He’s best-known for “Martyr Made”, a history podcast that provides a strongly revisionist and biased analysis on historical events such as the Revolution of Dignity and World War II.

1/22 Image
Darryl became known to big audiences in 2021, when he published a Twitter thread in which he basically described a massive conspiracy against Trump during both 2016 and 2020 presidential elections. The culprits were predictable: the corporate press, intelligence agencies…

In today’s #vatniksoup, I’m going to outline the current situation in the West’s information war against Russia & its allies. Currently,the West’s counter-disinformation measures are severely underfunded,making it difficult to combat Russian influence operations effectively.
1/17 Image
Europe today is repeating the same mistake in information warfare that it made in conventional warfare: we are not dedicating enough resources to counter it. Just as Europe was unprepared to fully support Ukraine and prepare for kinetic warfare against Russia,...

2/17 Image
...we have been neglecting information warfare. Next year, Russia is reportedly set to spend around 3 billion USD on its information operations domestically and abroad, with allies like the CCP, Iran, and North Korea likely following suit.

In today’s #vatniksoup, I’ll introduce an American conservative think tank, The Heritage Foundation (@Heritage). Heritage is best-known for opposing military aid to Ukraine and for their political initiative called Project 2025, a potential blueprint for a Trump presidency.

1/23 Image
Before we begin, I want to justify this soup that focuses heavily on US domestic politics. As a strong supporter of Ukraine, I see Donald Trump as a threat to Ukraine’s existence, and the reasoning for that can be found in this previous soup:

2/23

Heritage was founded in 1973, but it took a leading role in conservative politics during the Reagan presidency, whose policies were mostly taken from the foundation’s book series called Mandate for Leadership. Project 2025 is the ninth iteration of this series.
