TUA Research exposes 'InfoDefense' network of ~30 TG channels in multiple languages, pushing Russian propaganda, attacking Western govts & smearing mainstream media under the guise of a "grassroots" movement.

We identify the leader, Gazprom engineer Alexandr Chernishov

ID state they are "a team of volunteers from around the world. [who] uncover the truths silenced by the mainstream media."

Dozens of channels range from a few hundred to tens of thousands of followers - the most popular are in German, Italian, English, Spanish and French.

Arlo M. Kelly here policing who is/isn't "pro-Ukrainian" when he collaborates with two pro-Russian neo-Nazi losers @RWApodcast and American failed bodybuilder @squatsons that used to sell Wagner hats.

Well Arlo, you're 18 and insist you're an adult, time to be treated like one.

Arlo insists he is on the side of Ukrainian civilians, but this is a lie.

According to him when a few Ukrainian civilians die in air strikes, the low numbers prove it was Ukrainian air defence, when many civilians die, the opposite is not true - there is no criticism of Russia.

We hope you find our small investigation into Russian emigree and ballet teacher, Katerina Lubek a.k.a Ekaterina Lyubimova a.k.a. Sydney Lubek a.k.a Emily Lubek a.k.a Anna Howark, interesting @rinalu_ After studying humanities in Moscow’s “People’s Friendship University of Russia”, Katerina moved to Florida to study Business Administration at Miami Dade.
Rina spent a year studying “Human Computer Interaction” in San Diego, and 3 years studying Philosophy at Hunter’s College

Sure, the new location feature is fun, but if you really want to know exactly who is behind accounts like @vladimirputiniu you are still going to have to follow us.

Say hello to Mustanser Hussain, from Lahore. 🧵
Mustanser runs the 'Vladimir Putin News' account from Pakistan, and has somehow managed to convince 282.7K people to follow him by posting the most basic, common denominator slop on X.

GRU’s Storm-1516 “primary distributor” & “war correspondent” with >1M followers worked for US defence and intel contractor, almost certainly with TS/SCI clearance.

Alexandre Ouraev worked for @SAICinc as a Principal Network Engineer (PNE) while supporting Russia’s info war.


Ouraev runs Russian language SM channels ‘Sanya in Florida’, which publish derogatory takes about the US, whilst promoting life in Russia.

Sanya is also promoted by Kremlin linked and sanctioned Yuri Podolyaka as a war correspondent, despite only filming from his Orlando home.

Many still mistakenly believe @AGDugin was started and is run by Dugin. While he has involvement with it - appearing in spaces occasionally - it was actually set up and is run by a Brazilian, Antonio Pires.

Lets discuss Dugin, Pires, NazBols, and Brazil
Before renaming, @AGDugin was AGDChan, a twisted fan account of Russia's most famous Nazi-Bolshevist turned Eurasianist turned Multipolarist.

The next time a Pro-Russian propagandist mentions “multipolarity”, it’s really worth remembering its origins in Nazi-Bolshevism.

This story needs more context as Gerry isn’t only involved in The Islander, but also @DD_Geopolitics

Child abuse isn’t just tolerated in pro-Ru spaces, it’s woven into them. This thread details some of the paedophiles and paedophile apologists in the pro-Ru disinformation space.

Gerry Nolan @realgerrynolan, who admitted sexual crimes against children in 2016, is known to work on The Islander with @BowesChay, but was also a one of the main admins of @DD_geopolitics under the username “Gerry Plato”.

Games like Squad 22:ZOV are harmless, right? That’s what @Steam seems to think. But perhaps they aren’t when they're the work of a “spy school” alum from a “diplomatic family”, and it has been backed by the Military-Political Directorate of the RuAF. Meet Alexander Tolkach. 1/🧵


Squad 22:ZOV is described by its devs as “a tactical strategy game” allowing players to “Delve into the complexities of the 2014 and 2022-2024 events through compelling campaigns” being made “with the advisory support of active fighters and veterans of the SMO”. 2/

Meet @vagrantwires: real name Thomas Craig, based in Rhode Island. By day, an assistant director at @HarvardHBS. By night, a racist, sexist mouthpiece for Russian propaganda and anti-democratic disinfo on X. Let’s unpack what he posts—and why it matters. 🧵1/9 #OSINT #DISINFO

Craig routinely amplifies pro-Kremlin narratives; Ukraine as a Nazi state, a money-laundering op, the catalyst for a nuclear world war or a scheme to genocide the West. These are straight from the Kremlin’s playbook to justify Russia's genocidal invasion. 2/9 #KremlinNarratives

TUA is shining a light on the now-public IDs of some of the admins behind one of the most vile pro-Russian TG groups: TrackANaziMerc. This thread combines now public data and our own OSINT findings. Take screenshots - it might not stay up long. TaNM has doxxed, threatened, and celebrated the deaths of Ukrainian soldiers from abroad - calling them “Nazis” and “mercs.” They revel in their suffering, but they never expected that we - and others - were watching them too. Their time in the shadows is over.
