Yesterday, my Counter Disinfolklore operation on Twitter broke the two million “Impressions” mark for the first time.
A group of Russian insurgents crossed into the Bilhorod region of Russia.
As part of a vast decentralized network of Counter Disinfolklorists, I knew exactly what was called for to support the information warfare aspect of that military operation.
After all, we remember how Russian information-space behaved when the Russian army invaded Ukraine in March 2014.
Here’s just some of the Counter Disinfolklore that earned two-million Views, five-hundred-and-eighty Retweets and three-thousand-eight-hundred Likes:
⚡️News that Muscovy is invading Russia from Ukraine is NOT news to Dmitri Peskov.
As Peskov told @amanpour in March 2022:
"To launch a special operation, to get rid of entire Russia that was created next to our [Muscovy's] borders."
Ukraine was just the beginning of what is turning into a Very Special Operation.
⚡️Russia wants us to take the threat of invasion seriously?
What's the Russian for The Boy Who Cried Wolf?
Or, You Reap What You Sow.
Or, Karma: Russia occupied Crimea with its jokey "Polite Folk" and Little Green Men." Now, that trick is being played on Russia.
⚡️Why is #BigGreenFellas Trending @Kama_Kamilia?
Does anyone know what's happening in Bilhorod #FELLAS?
I thought #NAFO expansion WAS negotiable?
⚡️BREAKING: Russia Captures Boris Johnson In Bilhorod Village.
@BorisJohnson has just been captured in occupied Bilhorod.
Operating as an SAS squadron leader, the former prime minister was noticed by a villager who had once watched Have I Got News For You.
Dmitri Peskov said Russia will swap Johnson, if Ukraine promises to stick within its 1991 borders.

⚡️Belgorod Defences Holding - Kremlin.
Russia's Belgorod Governor confirmed the €10b Wanger Defence line inside Bilhorod is holding firm.
There is a nuance.
The Governor added: "Unfortunately, the invading force has avoided these defences."
A Russian Legion spokesperson told DecodingTrolls "we're just returning the tanks which Russia abandoned last Autumn in Kharkhiv and Iszium."
@iaeaorg spokesperson @rafaelmgrossi refused to comment on the rumour that the BigGreenFellas goal is NOT nuclear facilities in Belgorod.
⚡️China Denies Proxy Attack on Russia.
China's EU ambassador @WuPeng_MFAChina has denied the claim that China is behind the declaration of the "Belgorod People's Republic."
"China does not support the #BigGreenFellas attack on a sovereign Russia.
"China has been deceived by Ukraine.
"We expected Ukraine to occupy Khabarovsk. This change of plan has disrupted our plans to hold a referendum and passportization process in occupied Russia.
"Ukraine promised @MFA_China that #NAFO expansion was negotiable."
⚡️Mirror Strikes Back.
Russia justified its genocide in Ukraine, by accusing Ukraine of exactly the genocidal behaviour Russia practises in Ukraine🤯.
Now, Ukraine practises the same mirroring technique.
Here, Ukraine mirrors Russia's "Crimea Playbook" word-for-word.
As I've warned Russia repeatedly👇🏽: "Reflexive Control" works both ways.
⚡️O.S.C.E. Establishes Belgorod Monitoring Mission.
@OSCE secretary general responds to calls by 54 participating States to send a monitoring team to "Belgorod People's Republic."
"@RF_OSCE cancelled the Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine. Now, we're rebranding the Mission to look into "Belgorod People'sRepublic" [Белгородской народної республіки] accusations of genocide against them by @RussEmbSwe.
"This will be the OSCE's first mission with #BigGreenFellas from #NAFO."
⚡️Russia Denies Belgorod Language Discrimination.
Russian foreign ministry spokesman #FELLAS pushed back at Belgorod Language-speakers' group's discrimination claims.
"Belgorod language speakers' claims of discrimination do not justify declaration of "Belgorod People's Republic.""
One of the first arrests in the newly declared state (which is recognised only by North Korea) was of a native Belgorod-language protester.
