DISINFO: Belarusian independent media are part of Soros-planned genocide in the post-Soviet space
SUMMARY
Fake news about coronavirus deaths by the Belarusian independent media are aimed at sowing panic among the population. The Belarusian opposition is interested in genocide of the Belarusian people. A fake news revolution is the beginning of genocide according to Soros’s plans to destroy the population of the post-Soviet area. The authorities of Belarus should stop the fake news revolution as soon as possible. They should block all independent media websites (e.g., Nasha Niva, Salidarnasc, Belarusian Partisan, Euroradio, Radio Liberty), Telegram channels, and Youtube. This way the fake news revolution may be contained before it develops into the bloody revolutionary Maidan.
RESPONSE
This is a conspiracy theory aimed at discrediting the Belarusian opposition, independent media and bloggers, consistent with recurrent pro-Kremlin narratives about Soros and "secret elites" controlling the global development and Western attempts to organise a colour revolution in Belarus. See earlier disinformation cases alleging that the Belarusian opposition, civic activists and independent journalists make kill lists for Western security bodies, that coronavirus originated in a laboratory sponsored by George Soros, that the pro-Western Belarusian opposition is preparing genocide, and that the Belarusian opposition plans genocide with coronavirus-infected, Soros funded, test tubes, given by Mike Pompeo.
