Talking points from Moscow: How RT and the GRU set the agenda on German-language Telegram
The Insider and Novaya Gazeta Europe have found that half of all sociopolitical content in the German-language segment of Telegram is controlled by the RT (formerly Russia Today) media network, which continues to spread pro-Kremlin disinformation. The channels began rapidly building their audience immediately after Russia launched its full-scale war against Ukraine, and they are actively promoting fake news to this day, undeterred by European sanctions. Some of the public page owners within this network are linked to a GRU unit engaged in disinformation operations.
