DISINFO: The West is preparing a propaganda-attack against Russia after the Duma election

SUMMARY

The election in Russia is casting its shadow and the West seems to prepare for a large propaganda offensive.

RESPONSE

An unfounded claim, attempting to associate Western, and particularly German media, with Nazis. The article is illustrated with a picture, showing WWII era German tanks in the move towards Russia with raised flags carrying distorted logos of German media outlets, including a tank with the banner of the Nazi Daily Der Stürmer.

The wide criticism presented towards 2021 Russian legislative elections organised between 17 and 19 September is based on detailed accounts and documented cases of election manipulations from all over Russia, as reported by NGOs and reputable media, both inside and outside of Russia. Based on the reliable reports on serious violations, also the EU expressed its concerns over the electoral process.
