Detecting, analysing, and raising awareness about disinformation.

Disinformation doesn’t happen by accident

Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference (FIMI) is coordinated, state-sponsored, and designed to corrode democratic trust from the inside. EUvsDisinfo has been detecting and exposing it since 2015.

Who is behind it

State-aligned actors targeting democracy

Kremlin-linked networks use official channels, proxy organisations, and automated bot farms to amplify disinformation at scale across the EU and beyond.

How it works

Seeded, laundered, amplified

Narratives start in fringe media, get picked up by mainstream outlets, and spread via coordinated amplification — manufacturing confusion and distrust at scale.

Why it matters

Elections, public health, societal trust

FIMI targets the foundations of democratic society — it’s not just fake news, it’s a geopolitical weapon deployed against European institutions and citizens.

Russia introduces new laws to jail critics, but denies it holds any political prisoners

Every year on 30 October, the world marks the Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Political Repressions. In Russia, people are being imprisoned on charges that rights groups say are false, yet the authorities refuse to recognise that political prisoners exist. The Kremlin brands them as criminals or even terrorists. Instead, it uses the term “political prisoner” extensively in relation to Ukraine, claiming that Kyiv jails people for their political views or pro-Russian stance.

How to justify crimes against humanity: the Kremlin method

Pro-Kremlin disinformation denies documented Russian attacks on civilians, dismisses war crimes, and exploits distorted Second World War narratives to justify aggression against Ukraine. It also portrays NATO as a threat to Russia, fabricating claims of an impending attack on Kaliningrad. By shifting blame, inventing threats, and casting Moscow as Europe’s protector, these campaigns seek to legitimise Russia’s war and fuel escalation.

Disclaimer

Cases in the EUvsDisinfo database focus on messages in the international information space that are identified as providing a partial, distorted, or false depiction of reality and spread key pro-Kremlin messages. This does not necessarily imply, however, that a given outlet is linked to the Kremlin or editorially pro-Kremlin, or that it has intentionally sought to disinform. EUvsDisinfo publications do not represent an official EU position, as the information and opinions expressed are based on media reporting and analysis of the East Stratcom Task Force.
