In today's #vatniksoup, I'll introduce a Swedish social media personality, Merdan E AKA @mdfzeh. He's best-known for threatening pro-Ukrainian voices, and for desperately trying to delete his social media accounts.
This research was conducted by the Unintelligence Agency.
1/7
This soup was brewed, not because Merdan is a prominent or notable figure in the vatnik scene, but because he threatened me and my imaginary girlfriend.
As of today, his activities and his associates have been reported to the Swedish police.
2/7
Merdan's family is originally from Turkmenistan, and his father came to Sweden from Russia in 1994. He was granted political asylum and eventually became a Swedish citizen. Unlike his son, the father claims to be "integrated into Swedish society".
3/7
Like his father, "Ghost" currently lives in Luleå, Northern Sweden with his wife and children. He's currently learning Russian, Chinese and German on Duolingo so he might be thinking of relocating to BRICS or to Germany if AfD wins the election by a landslide.
4/7
Merdan might also be involved in some kind of troll farm activity, as he's created hundreds and hundreds of e-mail accounts with similar names and with same password. Incidentally, he blames NAFO for "creating burner accounts" and for reporting him.
5/7
In the past few days, Merdan has been meticulously deleting all of his social media accounts, including the one on Facebook and on VKontakte. In the latter, he was a big fan of Igor Girkin's and also followed a page called Reports from the militia of Novorossiya.

Now, threatening someone with violence is a serious crime in Sweden. We have plenty of proof of this, and other stuff, and the authorities have been informed.
You decided to fuck around, now it's time to find out.
In today’s Vatnik Soup, our first on a non-human vatnik, we’ll talk about… Grok @grok. It’s best known for turning into Mecha-Hitler and Mecha-Putler and for defending its vatnik master, Elon Musk, at all costs, up to being willing to sacrifice the rest of mankind for him.
1/24
Let’s start with an introduction into how Large Language Models (LLMs) work, and the new “arguing with your toaster” phenomenon. LLMs like Grok are Artificial Intelligence (AI) but not the way we had imagined — a new form of intelligence that would somehow think like us.
2/24
Instead, LLMs are basically “guessing engines” and search engines trained on a massive dataset to give you the output you expect: they are imitating intelligence rather than being an actual intelligence. They’re chatbots generating responses pretending to be a helpful AI.
Robert Amsterdam is also a registered (and well-paid!) agent of Maduro’s Venezuela, the socialist regime and ally of Russia which Tucker Carlson has recently defended for some reason, shocking many of his right-wing supporters.
In today’s Vatnik Soup, we’ll explain the context of the upcoming Budapest Blunder, and how it follows the infamous Alaska Fiasco from two months ago and Trump’s absurd delaying of serious aid to Ukraine and effective sanctions on Russia for the past nine months.
1/20
Two months ago, Trump embarrassed the United States by rolling out the red carpet for war criminal dictator Putin and overall acting like a pathetic servant eager to meet his master. Of course, the Alaska Fiasco didn’t bring peace any closer.
Worse, the main outcome of the humiliation was to delay serious sanctions, which the US Congress, in rare bipartisan unity against Russia, was on the verge of passing. Two weeks by two weeks, Trump Always Chickens Out, postponing any real pressure on Putin for 9 months now.
In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll introduce American propagandist Alexandra Jost, aka “Sasha” (@sashameetsrus). She’s best known for being paid by the Russian state to spread pro-Kremlin propaganda — and for doing it with a big smile.
1/23
Alexandra, now 26, was born in Hong Kong. Her father is from Texas, and her mother is from Siberia. According to her, she has “dreamed of living in Russia since childhood.” Sasha's mother runs a dance studio in Moscow and her younger brother is avoiding mobilization.
2/23
Since the beginning of her creator career, Sasha has been adamant about one thing: that she’s “never had to be paid” to speak of her “love” for Russia. But, as always with Russia, this turned out to be nothing but vranyo — a Russian “tactical lie.”
In today’s Vatnik Soup REBREW, I’ll reintroduce an American political commentator and pro-Kremlin propagandist, Tucker Carlson (@TuckerCarlson). He’s best known for his promotion of crazy conspiracy theories and for his support of authoritarian regimes around the world.
1/24
Tucker’s career spans decades, but he’s also been very active in recent years, so a lot has happened since our previous soup on him, which can be found here:
Once described as “the most powerful conservative in America”, Tucker has now fully transformed into a grifting conspiracy theorist and propagandist willing to work for whoever pays him the most. It’s unclear whether Tucker truly believes his endless conspiracy theories or…
