 # Cui prodest hoc ?
Is quite obvious the desire of the Russian, Belarusian, and Lithuanian authorities to take control of the media, including other regions of The Post-Soviet Space . The Internet is a new phenomenon, and the methods worked out in newspapers and on television do not work well there. You can, of course, try to take leading information sites and popular web publications in your region under your ideological control by purchasing or introducing your own people into them (which, in principle, is what has been happening lately, as and to take control a Law). But the absence of a single directorate on the Internet, the multiplicity and diversity of web publications themselves, the presence of interactive web forums where everyone can freely, outside the framework of political censorship, one can be participate in discussions, all this variety of forms, does not allow representatives of totalitarian regimes to impose audience (including the DELFI.ru, DELFI.lt, DELFI.lv, 15min.lt others audience) strictly adhere to the ideological line, reliably control and ensure a centralized approach. and this we see conflict between what is desired and reality because it is necessary for each dictatorial regime to conduct propaganda and counter-propaganda in order to justify and legitimize its Criminal Activities!

Compared to Soviet times, the methods and methods of state propaganda have been greatly modernized. Budget funds are now not spared for PR, even without being privy to the details of “projects” such as: “Creating a positive image of Totalitarian regimes,” “Strengthening the information security of the regime,” and “Creating a unified information space for dictatorial regimes.” I believe that the propaganda of criminal moral and legal norms in order to justify one’s active criminal activity, one’s irresponsibility, impunity and permissiveness with various ideologies cannot but affect the Internet and, in particular, popular political forums throughout the post-Soviet space, as and at the post-Soviet zone of influence at former socialist republics, at now which each participant can write whatever he wants.  
 Moreover, the peculiarity of any propaganda is that it must be total. If zones remain somewhere free from the ideological influence of the..., then the effectiveness of any propaganda activities sharply decreases. Perhaps it was precisely this specificity of the Runet (including DELFI.ru, DELFI.lt, DELFI.lv others wich administration loyales regimes) that led to the emergence of hundreds of similarly-minded, national-statist, “patriotic” (as they themselves like to put it) thinking characters, similar to each other, like soldiers of the same division.

Oct 24, 2011 - Commissars of the Internet, Part Four... - 'Disinformation and Compromising materials'

 Commissars of the Internet, Part Four

#  Disinformation and Compromising materials

 In addition to the thieves’ methods of distracting attention  to heated political discussions described in the first part of our article, the brigade constantly throws targeted disinformation and compromising evidence onto the forums. It is very difficult to refute such “information”, and the old principle “lie, lie, maybe something will remain” still works well.

Apparently, it is important for the brigade that the false statement be constantly present in the discussion, become an element of the new mythology and influence public opinion. When asked why they so often and shamelessly repeat already refuted lies, a members of the brigade honestly answers, we quote:
'Inscriptions in a toilet  are read by many more people than they are written. And the fact that I write the same thing, then if you constantly tell someone that he is a pig, then sooner or later the he will grunting own'.

 One could assume the existence of one such character, endowed with the 'phenomenon of absolute shamelessness' but the strangeness of the situation is that there are at least five to ten such individiums regular participants in discussions at every popular Russian, Belorusian, Ukrainan, Baltican political forums. Each of their false statements, which uniformly falsify reality and history, is repeated by them daily and sometimes verbatim in dozens and hundreds of forums.

  # Technical methods of influence

 One of the common methods of influencing stubborn opponents (especially those who suggest that there is a close-knit “brigade” on the forum) is sending junk mail by email, viruses and Trojans via IP. Our archive contains dozens of forum messages from various people with liberal views who, immediately after their speeches on forums against the ideological values of the totaritars regimes, received powerful virus attacks that practically destroyed computer software and block their access to the Internet.

 Here, for example, is what one of the visitors to the DELFI.ru forums, DELFI.lt, reports:
 'Immediately after my brief participation in the DELFI.lt forum on the topic of the need for FSB lustrations, a series of strong virus attacks penetrated all the security systems of my computer and completely blocked my access to the Internet for several days. Assuming that this was an accident, I returned to the discussion on this forum, on an unpleasant topic for the FSB. On the same day, the message appeared on the forum:
 "Here you go! Veronica appeared again. I thought you already understood everything, Cheap Whore. Everything has been clear to everyone for a long time, but you are the only one who is not clear. Okay, we'll keep working. By the way, Veronica, just a question. The fact what that you write about the KGB, supposedly what beasts they are, and you write that you live in Lithuania. If all this is so, and I, for example, am an FSB major - Not scary? Or did you want the glory of the French Joan?"

 Immediately after this message, a powerful virus attack on the computer was repeated. Apparently, this was the continuation of the work of the “FSB major”.


  # Intrusive stories about yourself

 Wanting to give credibility to their messages, brigadiers often and unsolicitedly talk about themselves, about their place of residence and work, about their relatives, and publish their work and home phone numbers, which is not at all typical for all other participants in discussions on forums of politic. At the same time, members of the brigade are often confused in the details of 'their' biographies, they know little about a professions that they call their own all, or about the country where they supposedly live. Very often they are emigrants in one of the European countries, or call themselves emigrants. However, in recent months this trend has been changing - now many brigadiers have begun to call themselves residents of the Belarusian or Lithuanian hinterland where, according to their stories, there is now 'a powerful economic, social, cultural  avalanche-like increase and economy the well-being of, under the wise leadership of the administration of the Lukashenko, Putin, Janukovich, Gribauskaite, Nazarbaev and others regimes post Soviet space.'

 # Brigade sagacity

 One of the most interesting features of brigadiers is their ability to find out and publish in forums not only the places of residence of their anonymous opponents, but also their names, surnames, details of their biographies, place of work, and the names of their relatives. Of course, many questions are asked in advance about the country of residence, work, age, education, but even in cases where characters interested in personal information do not receive an answer from their opponents, they mysteriously find it's themselves.

 Once we happened to witness how in the guest book of the Lithuanian newspaper '15min.lt' one of the team members, allegedly, only by e-mail address and neutral nickname "Couture", identified and published the name, surname and place of work of one of the regular participants discussions an ardent supporter of the line of Gaidar, Chubais and the Union of Right Forces. It was a couple of years ago, when the Union of Right Forces sharply criticized Putin, his policy towards NTV and the war in Chechnya. The publication of the personal data of an ATP supporter on the forum was accompanied by threats of physical violence against him and his family, which forced him to leave the web forum and withdraw from any discussions for a long time.

 The discovery and publication of an opponent’s personal data, in order to strengthen of the reality of the threats being sent, was all the more surprising since the “exposed” reader practically did not provide details about himself on the forum, and the site did not make it possible to see his IP. We have seen similar, but slightly less characteristic stories more than once on the forum of the Lenta.ru, DELFI.lt, DELFI.lv, DELFI.ru website, where Lukashenko’s and Lithuanian, others regimes supporters suddenly called data of oponents focusing only on a nicknames consisting of  only of numbers or punctuation marks. We recently became aware of a case where a person who wrote under a pseudonym from North America on the political forum of the Russia Today website suddenly received from opponents from the brigade the publication on the forum of a detailed certificate with his biography, including medical diagnoses. And Here one involuntarily recalls the famous Belarusian joke about President Lukashenko’s online briefing:

"on-line"
We received the following question from an anonymous user:
- Alexander Grigorievich, aren’t you tired of answering pre-selected questions?
To which the president replied:
- No, Sidorov Nikolai Petrovich from Mogilev of living on Lenin Street, building 16, apt. 2, IP number (such and such), provider (such and such), I  feel like it at all at answering only pre-selected questions.

  # Administrative resources

 At the end of January 2003, quite unusual events occurred on one of the popular sites - the electronic version of the liberal newspaper Moscow News. The new administrator of the site unexpectedly began to actively help the team of 'brigade' this forum. The new admin, a person who clearly has little understanding of computer science and ethics, suddenly, contrary to the rules of the site, categorically refused to remove from the forum the repeatedly repeated anti-Semitic flood and obscene language of members of the this brigade. In response to the requests of many readers of the newspaper to take action against the foul-mouthed anti-Semites from the brigade who wrote obscenities and appropriating the nicknames of other people, the forum administrator publicly replied: “You make me sick.” After which, without explanation, he closed access to the forums to all participants in the discussions who criticized Totalitarian regimes and the Intelligence them Services.

 The next action of the Moscow News site administrator, unprecedented in Runet, was to clean out the forum’s archives for two years. The administrator of the website was not too lazy to carefully cut out several tens of thousands of readers’ texts directed against regimes of Putin, Lukashenko and other Totalitarian Regimes. And again, once again, many regular participants in discussions on the website expressed their indignation to the admin - then the latter reported that a number to the participants of past discussions  he closed  access (among whom were only people of liberal and democratic views who had never violated the rules of forum) - 'them had been denied access to the site by personal order of the newspaper's editor-in-chief V. Loshak.'

 Then one of the blocked readers was to publicly express his protest from another computer, on a forum, promising to make public the facts of political censorship in Moscow News. Then he was given access to the site, but the site editor took an unprecedented step by publishing the individual IP codes of his two computers. Publishing IP codes for computer users is highly undesirable; it makes the work of hackers easier, and for an administrator it is an absolutely immoral action, a violation of the fundamentals of professional ethics. The paradox was that the same administrator of the website several months earlier publicly explained the undesirability and harmfulness of publishing IP codes.

 After this reader left the Moscow News forums censored by the brigade, the brigadiers “followed up” him with the addresses of his Internet providers located in Lithuania and  found by IP codes, and a transparent hint about the opportunity to contact his managers and inform them about him pastime on the forums during working hours.

 The admin’s reference to the order of the newspaper’s editor-in-chief to block access to the site to all “anti-Lukashen, anti-Putin”-minded readers, as well as to cut out all their texts for the last year  from the archives of discussions, speaks for itself. Let us note that the “censored” readers never violated the rules of the site, did not use obscene expressions, etc.. Moreover, all obscenities and threats of physical harm made against them by the “brigade” were left by the editor in archive of forum, ore every single one of their well-reasoned texts directed against Putin, Lukashenko and Regime of Baltick countres were carefully destroyeds.

 And it seems absolute nonsense that the editors of MN are currently openly survive from people's site  with liberal views to survive from the site, most often those who stand in the positions of authors and journalists of this still relatively liberal publication, for the sake of   participants of discussion who simply mock the authors of the newspaper , showering them with all sorts of insults and obscene language.

  # Impressions of a newcomer on the forums of totalitarian publications

 'When am first time went to one of the DELFI.ru forums, I saw a “discussion” there, consisting of dialogues between a female nickname and a close-knit group of comrades, who in chorus dirtyly insulted this woman. The lady wrote correct and reasoned texts about the totalitarian essence of Islam and the historical connection of the totaritar regims with the Middle Eastern Arab dictatorships. In response, she received only obscenities from several male characters who praised the Russian Main Intelligence Directorate.
 I was outraged by the ugly picture of bullying and made a remark about the inadmissibility of such methods of discussion and insults of the girl. After that, letters from two forum participants arrived in my email inbox - a certain pianist from Vilnius and from a lady of considerable age from Minsk. In them, uninvited correspondents reported that the woman for whom I stood up was supposedly an evile provocateur, engaged in targeted persecution of honest, decent people. I was offered a picture of events exactly opposite to what I saw with my own eyes. The elderly lady attached her photograph and invited me to visit. The musician suggested meeting in one of the restaurants in Vilnius.
 As it turned out later, these two characters are one of the most key on the Moscow News forums and on some other liberal forums. They always act in tandem, being online for many hours every day (under different nicknames, of course). If at first I had doubts about the existence of the brigade, the brigadiers themselves very quickly dispelled it with their methods. I was especially impressed by the active participation of the newspaper’s editors in expelling dissidents from the site - to please those who systematically hooligan and insult others.'

 After the administrator and the team expelled intelligent readers from the forums totalitary pressa and only texts with dirty obscene language addressed to the expelled people were posted in the comments on the forum, mixed with anti-Semitic flood, praises of totalitar liders and curses against  Jews from the USA and Germany. The site administrator - did his job and by eliminating the brigade troublemakers from the forum, after which he and own left the forum to the mercy of fate.

  # "Gift of Prophecy" of Brigade

 Due to a specific mentality and Soviet-style upbringing, brigadiers often slack and work carelessly, making annoying mistakes, which site administrators then have to sort out and erase  along with large chunks of the forums.

 For example, in October 2002, several brigadiers from the Moscow News forum, positioning themselves as “patriotically minded emigrants”, without any reference to the topics of discussion, suddenly started a campaign of  denunciation of the unknown Mr. Limarev. Subsequently, it turned out that this is the owner of the RusGlobus website, which is opposed to the current Russian regime.

 Speeches on this topic by “ordinary readers from different countries” were unusually rich in private information; the forum published details of the biography, business, personal life of this unknown Mr. Limarev, his home address and telephone number, his pseudonyms, the names of his family members , his bank account numbers. Particularly zealous in exposing the mysterious Limarev were two ladies, constant participants in the forums, who stated that one of them was a doctor from Latvia, the other was a Lithuanian real estate dealer, both passionate admirers of Lukashenko, Putin and Landsbergis diaspora.

 All this caused some bewilderment on the forum, since none of the discussion participants understood why it was necessary to discuss or expose this unknown person about whom so much personal information had been posted.

 The reasons for this premature “leaking of compromising evidence” on the forum became clear only two weeks later, when the Moskovsky Komsomolets newspaper published an article by journalist Khinshtein about how a certain Sultanov, an Russian Main Intelligence Directorate agent, was deliberately sent to France at to the creators of the RusGlobus website, and secretly found out the details for six months biographies of the creators of the anti-KGB emigrant site. Among the creators of the RusGlobus website and was the mysterious Mr. Limarev, whose address and account numbers were published by the team on the Moskovsky Komsomolets forum.

 This premature publication FSB from Russian Main Intelligence Directorate operational materials on the Internet, two weeks before their first publication in the oficial media, caused a local Internet scandal. Many readers have wondered - who exactly are their constant opponents, who seem to be well-intentioned residents of different countries, if information from the depths of the FSB becomes known to them earlier than even to the journalist Khinshtein with his specific reputation? The “previsions” of the insightful ladies could put even the grand soviet soothsayer Wolf Messing to shame, if all their previous propaganda activities on the site, which had not made readers doubt their place of work.

 After this scandal, the administrator of the Moskovsky Komsomolets website simply cleaned out the entire archive of forums where their texts were published and there were no traces left of the premature information leak.

 Another equally characteristic story happened in the Novaya Gazeta forum in February 2002, where someone under the nickname “Stunned by Anna” to posted the following text reviews of A. Politkovskaya’s article:
 'George Soros allocated a large loan to Novaya Gazeta to create a database on abducted people in Chechnya, hostages and others military crimes. And now The deadline for checking how the grant has been spent has - There was no database, and there isn’t. So our Anka, the machine gunner, and undergrstend everything make sense - 'How can such databases be created when the nasty FSB threatens to encroach on the life and dignity of Ms. Politkovskaya?' But, apparently, this time the number will not work. Soros intends to stop funding Novaya Gazeta due to “misuse of the grant.” Like this. And also - for major specialists. Why would the FSB protect the GRU? They are initially the biggest competitors in all areas of activity - both intelligence and sabotage. They are like the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Prosecutor's Office, ready to grab each other's throats at any moment. And if the GRU special forces really committed a crime, then the FSB will put all its efforts into exposing them. The GRU are warriors, white bones, and the FSB is the successor to the KGB. There will never be peace between them, they will never eat from the same bowl'.

 This text was a verbatim retelling of the statement by FSB representative Ilya Shabalkin on the same topic. Everything would be fine, but Comrade Shabalkin’s speech took place  nine days AFTER the appearance of this forum posting.

 There is probably no need to even writing that the premature information of an anonymous person from the Novaya Gazeta forum and the statement that followed 9 days later from a high-ranking FSB officer were absolutely untrue and were soon refuted by both the  redaction of Novaya Gazeta and  the Foundation of Soros.

 Another “premature” Internet publication of the same kind occurred on the forum of the Moscow News newspaper. It is curious that its author has always presented himself as a Georgian artist with pro-communist views living in Europe. Here is his text, in which the most interesting thing is the publication date - April 13, 2002:

'As for skinheads and fascists in Russia - maybe, to complete the picture, think about the fact that Western intelligence services also had a hand in this, huh? According to the principle of “divide and conquer”. The same as with ultra-nationalist or fundamentalist organizations in other parts of the former USSR.
Why not assume that the Chechen "freedom fighters" and the "Moscow skins" are organized by the same force? The KGB officers do not need ultra-nationalism, because it will destabilize the situation in the region, and they will not cut the branch on which former KGB officers are sitting.
But the West at  well-organized neo-Nazis in Sovka very need. By the word West I do mean the people of North America and the West of Europe, and the intelligence services there, the elite and the military. Well, and different political technologistes'.

 Six days have passed. The date is April 19, 2002. The following, very dubious message appeared on the Lenta.ru website:

 'LENTA.RU: RUSSIAN SKINHEADS ARE HELPED FROM ABROAD.
 The Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs has information that Russian skinheads can be financed from abroad. This was stated on April 19 in an interview with Interfax by Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation Alexander Chekalin. He believes that “they couldn’t do without foreign countries, and it is possible that young skinheads will have both their own patrons and well-wishers from overseas. Our task today is to confirm or refute this together with the special services,” the deputy Minister'.

 The “Georgian emigrant artist”, always and in everything in solidarity with the pro-KGB brigade of the site, managed to predict in advance, word for word, on the forum a funny and very dubious statement by a representative of Ministry of Internal Affairs  , what then did not find any confirmation or development.
And recently there was not a local, but a very extensive Internet scandal on a similar topic. A group of very knowledgeable people appeared on a number of Russian forums, and at the same time, under the common nickname “Ramzai”, and this groop to gave very specific intelligence information.

 The sites lenta.ru and gazeta.ru did  reported that under the name “Ramzai”, since the beginning of the war in Iraq, intelligence information  on various military and military-historical of forums and websites from the GRU  about the US military actions in Iraq. Analysts from Gazeta and Lenta carefully compared these messages with reports from European&American media and the army command of the coalition forces and came to the conclusion that all these materials were not only confirmed by official sources, but were also published on Russian forums ahead of their first in European&Alerican MASS MEDIA. The online publications Gazeta.ru and Lenta.ru suggested that in this way the Russian special services are waging their virtual war for Iraq, against America. If in Soviet times disinformation and leaks were provided by the relevant intelligence services through popular word of mouth and political information at enterprises, today the Internet has provided simply unheard of opportunities for such manipulations of mass consciousness.
 After these publications about “Ramzai”, a justifying posting by a permanent member of the brigade from Irkutsk appeared on the Civitas.ru forum:
 'The GRU in Iraq is operating at full capacity - this structure, thank God, was not destroyed by the Democrats... They also leak something to me, to a limited extent, of course. They themselves said it frankly - only what you can know. No surprises, everything is natural...'

  It is quite difficult to imagine GRU officers from Iraq “leaking” their intelligence data to a modest Irkutsk engineer, who immediately posts this information on forums.
 The most routine manifestation of hack work is that many brigadiers are too lazy to check their typical mistakes and slightly rearrange the style to suit different images and “legends”. As a result, they make themselves recognizable, like portraits on a dollar bill, reducing the “effectiveness” of their work. For example, a male character repeats word for word what he once told on behalf of a lady. It also happens that something touches one of them personally (nothing human is alien to them), and then suddenly, from the restrained image of a noble widow, the alcohol-soaked face of a retired sergeant of the internal troops suddenly emerges.

# The political spectrum of the brigade - the 'fine-comb principle'

 The permanent members of the brigade of any popular web forum introduce themselves to be adherents of some party or movement, distributed across the entire post-Soviet political spectrum, excluding its liberal part. On every forum there will definitely be an anti-Semitic nationalist, Zionist a communist and several characters who claim that they voted for Grybouskaite, but were disappointed in her because of her lack of loyalty to Putin, Lukashenko or Yanukovych. Among others, there will definitely be a character on the forum with extreme leftist views, who vehemently denounces the Europa, the USA, Capitalism, but at the same time never criticizes Grybauskaite, Putin, Lukashenko, Yanukovych and their regimes, which is somewhat illogical for an ordinary 'leftist'.

 The views of the brigade members supposedly diverge on minor tactical issues, but they are all invariably united on the key and basic ones - absolute loyalty to Post Soviet Regimes, the “prosperity” of Post Soviet Countries under their leadership, harmfulness of the democrats, the need to continue the information war, right up to the merger of the Baltic Region, Ukraina with the Republic of Belarus and Russia, hatred of human rights defenders, freedom of speech, democratic and liberal values /in addition to liberalism and democracy to any of signs of belonging ethnic, racial, place of permanent residence, party and other signs of the distribution of material wealth and privileges/. I would call this political positioning of the brigade the fine-comb principle.

Any new person, with any political beliefs, who accidentally looks at the forum, finds himself caught between the prongs of this comb. Each of the members of the brigade close to him in his views will declare partial similarity of their beliefs, but will certainly correct the newcomer about the unshakable values of the brigade. Anyone who undertakes to criticize autoritary/totaritary regims post soviet space, runs the risk of receiving unpleasant lectures from the brigade both 'on the right' and 'on the left', from the character 'a paid-up simpleton-fascist' to the character 'an exquisite patriot-ex-Belyatsky'.

Communist, moderate liberal-statist, Yavlinist, a man of difficult fate, who has reconsidered his beliefs, a modest and reasonable mother of a family from somewhere in Florida, always loyal to the USSR moral and legal norms of Judaism, a fawned simpleton from the people, an anti-Semite, an intellectual, a “former dissident - Siberian”, today dreaming of hanging human rights activists from street lamps - these are the usual types of the brigade on web forums. But all of them necessarily and invariably revere post-Soviet regimes and their punitive authorities, as well as all the “active measures” of the authorities. On other points, the brigadiers have minimal differences, the basis for simulating discussions among their own. If the opponent persists in defending his beliefs, then the team will collectively apply more sophisticated methods of influence against him.

# Criminal manner of communication

 Squabbles, provocations, obscene language - all this is the norm from the life of web brigads. The methods of their work with opponent ladies who are trying to argue reasonedly with the texts of the “team members” are unique.

 To their address on this occasion the names of their body parts and genital organs are listed, the opponent’s to lack of a sexual partner, her deformity, old age, excessive obesity, prostitution, etc. are indicated. For example, the typical and most harmless remark:
 “The State Security Service is State Security. A noble task. Security this is generally wonderful. Living in a state of danger is bad, adn which this cannot argue with that. Therefore and taking care of the security of the state as a whole is a very important and necessary task. And if someone from these “State Security Services” you got between the legs, so much so that it still can’t calm down, so it’s a pity that it didn’t kill. After all, your breed doesn’t  care about looking decent. Intrusive, impudent, stubbornly in your eyes, like an advertisement for sanitary pads. Apparently, the GB dealt with you for such disgusting behavior. And let them continue to deal with you all. You, Anastasia, are a dinosaur. And you must die out.”

  And here’s another very typical speech from a member of the brigade:
 “You fucking idiot, are you cumming here at the monitor or something. Can’t you do it any other way? There’s no guy? But who needs you, you idiot. So you’re stuck here from morning to evening. At least some kind of communication for you. You’re here pouring out your poison (or rather, sexual dissatisfaction). Get yourself a man and and let him fuck you yourself properly, you’ll see you become smarter, although the latter is in question.”

 And so on, in a row, with dozens and hundreds of similar texts under different nicknames. It is curious that after a week or two of filling the forum with similar posts, most of which we do not quote here for reasons of decency, the same group of authors who harassed a female opponent usually writes about her a complaining collective letter to the site administrator   - That all of them, certified 'intelligent regular readers' were cruelly persecuted by the very participant in the discussions to whom such texts were dedicated.

 Most of the real women participants in the discussions are not able to withstand such a collective onslaught of the brigade for long and leave the discussions.

# Systematic way away of heated discussions to the side

 The members of the brigade are fluent in simple thieves' techniques (“look, the bird is flying”), necessary to distract the attention of the “object” for the purpose of subsequent robbery (in this case, taking the discussion into the boundless), and unaccustomed to the thieves' world, the "antillekhents" fall for these tricks, to the great joy of the entire brigade. Among other participants in the discussions, except for brigade, such behavior practically does not occur.

 This trick consists of one of the brigade members throwing in a deliberately false thesis, forcing the enemy to scour for sources that refute this lie. For example, that Raoul Mercader, Trotsky’s murderer, never had anything to do with the OGPU-NKVD. After the person who expressed this idea is provided with a dozen references that Mercader received the title of Hero of the Soviet Union and was buried in the USSR, the character is not at all embarrassed; on the contrary, he already claims that Pol Pot’s Khmer Rouge had nothing to do with communism. Having received links to refute this, the character states that not a single Czech died under Soviet tanks in Prague in 1968. Next comes his statement that the victims of Stalin’s repressions were less than a million people, everything else was invented by liberals. Having received factual refutations of each of his false statements, a month later the brigadier character will repeat them again, in the same order and in the same expressions. This trick works very successfully when the brigadier throws in “specific information,” say, about life in Lithuania: “A movie ticket there costs 20 litas.” If Real residents of Lithuania and brigadiers allegedly living there are actively involved in the discussion, at well already for a full day there is a discussion about the cost of a ticket to a Lithuanian cinema...

 Or the thesis is abandoned: “Lukashenko does not and never has had anything to do with the KGB, he is not a special officer.” Links neither to the website of the Belarusian President, nor to the official biography of the President of the Belarusian Republic, nor to his own interviews will help. The author of the “misinformation”, in response to all the refutations, will increasingly insult the person who has undertaken to argue with him, and will repeat his “misinformation” more and more persistently.

 For example, a lady, a permanent member of the brigade team on one of the forums, positioning herself as a resident of Lithuania, but regularly calling to “pray for Lukashenko,” declares the supposed restrictions for Soviet Jews in Lithuania, who are  actually occupy today lot number of responsible public and official positions:
 'What the tsarist authorities in Russia did for many years with the Bans of Settlement and bans of education for Jews, Demakrats are still doing in Lithuania. No, they will allow you to study. Just pay. But it’s unlikely will succeed to get a job, or at a government post. Go to business, pay your taxes. You are welcome. Therefore there are Soviet Jews here, but there is no Jewish question. And there is no Zionism either. Well, imagine if the Jews rushed to sell off Lithuania, like our 'democrats', lining their pockets and cursing Brazauskas. They are wise the Lithuanians.'

Let's leave this passage to the conscience of the "everycompatriots". It doesn’t matter what you write here, the main thing is to divert the discussion away from dangerous for dictatur regims topics.

# Web team awareness.

 First of all, the team’s ability to instantly find quotes from an opponent’s old remarks on the forums is amazing, even if this quote is a year and a half ago, and it may not even be in the site’s archives anymore. Many brigadiers strive to find out as much personal information about their opponent as possible. For this purpose, “intelligence surveys” of critical opponents are regularly conducted; a number of questions are casually asked about family, university graduation, work, region of residence, favorite places or acquaintances. For unknown reasons, a random forum “interlocutor” from the team can easily identify and indicate to you the country and city from which you are writing, even on those sites where it is impossible to see the IP code.

 # Team games

 Another characteristic feature of brigadiers of the same type is their penchant for team games. They invariably support each other in discussions, ask each other leading questions, clarify each other’s answers, even if they are positioned as strangers to each other. If they start bullying one of their opponents, then this bullying will definitely become a team one, with the participation of three to twenty different characters who are invariably present on political forums at any time of the day. The brigade's favorite technique is to accuse the opponent of insanity. It invariably becomes collective, where each of the nicknames of the brigade will definitely throw out one of the short remarks: “Demshiza, paranoia, schizophrenia, clinic, persecution mania, obviously sick, madhouse at the computer, pathological Russophobia, nervous breakdown, severe diagnosis, amnesty in psychiatric hospital, take a sedative, Kremlin agent..." etc., etc.

 For example, a certain “lady from intellectual circles in Lithuania” reports:
 'Gentlemen, if Nastenka is prescribed a lobotomy, with your permission, I will give the doctor a scalpel - a dull one, like Nastya herself. Well, if they limit themselves to electric shock, then let me turn on the switch! I’ll turn it on for a little while, for about two hours!... She, this Anastasia, is a Russian bastard, she can even very easily fall under a tram, of course, herself, like in that book.'

 Less than three years have passed since, on another political forum, a certain anonymous person from the brigade declares to another woman who wrote about the victims of the Gulag:
 'Well, so much for the heap... How do you, dear Veronica at like about a lobotomy? We to you haven't done it yet.' It turns out that this brigade’s 'joke' is typical and cross-forum, like many of their similar pranks.

Another option for the brigade is to accuse the person of lying on the basis of a typo, or to start writing  with your entire close-knit group that an always perfectly correct, polite and well-mannered opponent this is “a malicious rude person, a troublemaker, a boor and a liar.” Thus, the brigade collectively forms a negative image of an opponent they do want.
 

# Bring to one's involvement of the administration.

 If all of the listed methods of working with an opponent have been exhausted, the team has an extreme measure in its arsenal - involving the site administration. And thise more often than not, brigadiers simply massively write monotonous collective complaints against their opponents to the editor, the site administrator, or in electronic “complaint books”, demanding the removal of certain postings or entire discussions that they do not like, calling close access to the forums   to undesirable persons. The complaints of team on different forums coincide verbatim. For example, both the administrator of the site DELFI.ru and the webmaster were addressed by the team with complaints about completely different people, but with the same text: 'This sweet couple to did insulted and humiliated all  regular participants of forum.'

 Usually the brigade accuses the opponent of what they most often do themselves. Let us assume that most often the brigade used obscene language at the opponent, threatening him with physical harm, and the opponent remained correct and unperturbed. This means that in their complaints to the administrator, the team will write that the “accused” persecuted them all at the same time, that he is rude, foul-mouthed and threatened everyone with violence. When there are a lot of such letters (we take into account that the team always works collectively, and each of this group uses several nicknames), then the number of complaints will have an effect on any admin, even though the team members never provide specific evidence or quotes, for lack of such.

 This method is colloquially referred to as banal collective slander of an opponent. It is quite effective even for those forum administrators who do not yet want to voluntarily obey the instructions of the ideological governing bodies of the totalitar Republics. However, there are fewer and fewer such independent administrators; they are losing their jobs one after another and are being replaced everywhere by more obedient and compliant ones.

# Destruction of unwanted forums.

Sometimes a purge of entire sections of the forum is organized in which one of the brigade members has made obvious “mistakes” or disclosed unnecessary or premature information from the special services, and  so many examples of such activity that it is difficult to call them coincidences.

The website vesti.ru, where quite heated discussions of current Russian issues were held, was closed shortly after the start of the discussion, where a number of readers accused the FSB of being responsible for the explosions in Dagestan. The site has now been transferred to the state television channel. On the website of the Moscow News newspaper, readers who have established themselves as critics of Lukashenko, Putin and the FSB are blocked from entering discussions by the new site administrator without any explanation, despite the fact that these readers did not violate any rules of conduct on this forum. All texts from this group were carefully cut out by the site administrator from the archive of discussions period over a year a half.

The search engine rambler.ru for the keyword “lustration” recently provided a link to the ej.ru forum with an interesting and extensive comment from a reader, where he substantiated the need for lustration of security officers in Russia, Belarus, Baltic countres. After his texts were quoted on another Russian political forum, with reference to a post by a reader from ej.ru, all archives of discussions in the Daily Journal, including the text about lustrations, were destroyed, and the ej.ru forum itself reformation and changed  design. On many Runet forums (as an example, DELFI.ru) there is now a painstaking and systematic change of administrators, replace independent specialists with regime-controlled, obedient executors of any instruction.

Oct 24, 2011 - Commissioners of The Internet... The Part Two - 'Brigade'.

 Commissioners of The Internet... The Part Two - 'Brigade'.
 
 Table of contents:
  - 'Internet Commissioners';
  - 'Brigade';
  - 'Criminal manner of communication';
  - 'Commissars of the Internet, Part Two...';
  - 'Cui prodest hoc ?'. 


 # Characteristic features of the "Brigade".

 We tried to systematize the characteristic features of the activities of this “red brigade”, present on all liberal and pro-democratic open platforms of the net (as an example, DELFI.ru and other Lithuanian, Ukaina, Belarus, Rusian internet resuers), and also in various public populiar publications read by the intelligentsia and educated segments of the population these countries. Communist, nationalist, pro-fascist media are not considered in our review.

 # There is The Red Brigade 24/7 presence on all populiar of public forums of Lithuanian, Ukraina, Belarus, Russian and others internet resurs postsoviet space.

 It jobs like this  - One of the same type of representatives of The Brigade is constantly online, always ready to repel any “attack” of a demokrat or liberal on autoritar&totaritar sistem moral ir legal norm. There is not an hour during the day when it would be possible to conduct discussions on the forum without these “curators”. Some timecharacter from the “brigade” will definitely wedge into the discussion, which is actually on duty at all significant forums day and night, periodically wandering from forum to forum with similar materials and remarks.

 # The plasticity of ideology, always coinciding with the policy of the autoritar&totaritar Regimes all postsoviet space.

 The brigade invariably ardently preaches a rather eclectic system of views and values, corresponding to the latest trends in totaritar regims state PR, in the ideology and policy of the leadership of the Republic of Belarus, Russia, Lithuania, Ukraina, Kazachstan and others. A change in government policy entails a sharp change in the views of all members of the “brigade”. If suddenly, for some reason, the tone of state of regims propaganda changes in relation to, for example, the USA or Moscow, then the same brigade character simply forever “forgets” the topic or figure whom he recently “idolized” or, on the contrary, he “branded” and begins to sharply promote what he fiercely hated yesterday, and vice versa. Moreover, today he praises as zealously as he vilified yesterday. All this is done without the slightest embarrassment or concern for one’s own reputation.

 One of the latest examples is online discussions on the problem of the Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant. If three years ago all members of the brigade declared in unison: “not an inch of their native land for the damned Russians,” now, after closed negotiations between Putin and the Lukashenko government, the same authors, under their permanent nicknames, fully allow the construction of a nuclear power plant on the territory of the Republic of Belarus for Russian money and in exchange for massive Russian investments in Lithuania from klan Shaigu, and they deliciously describe the high level of Russian technology and the numerous advantages of such an action.

 Or, for example, during the passage through the State Duma of a bill on the disposal of radioactive waste on the territory of Belarus, members of the team on forums passionately convinced readers of the “undoubted benefits for profitability and safety regions” of turning Belarus and Lithuania into a global nuclear garbage dump rusian radioactive waste. The characters involved in this propaganda were positioned as “private individuals and patriotic emigrants,” however, they were clearly operating with information from the press service of the Russian Ministry of Atomic Energy and of Millitary.

 # Boundless devotion to comrades Putin, Lukashenko, kadyrov, Yanukovych, Nazarbayev others liders of postsoviet space and they close entourage.

 Members of web teams with “promoted” nicknames known on forums invariably express their immense love for Putin and Lukashenko. They are ready to destroy anyone who expresses even the slightest doubt about the merits of the Presidents of totaritar regime as Russian and Lithuanian, Belarusian Republic. For criticizing the Dictators, they threaten opponents with trials, beatings, reprisals and murder of both the opponents themselves and their relatives. Moreover, the latter is not a one-time occurrence, but a mass phenomenon on all political web forums. Sometimes crew members are very open about the purpose of their presence on the forums. For example:
 'Let's support the President who is trying to change the course of history of our long-suffering Motherland. Let's judge him by his actions, and not by the gossip of the strawberry-loving media. Let's make constructive proposals here, so that even if (ho-ho) from State Securety is somebody present here, our Father would have a folder with the “voice of the people” on his desk, intelligently discussing the problems of “today” and where offering solutions for “tomorrow”, and not bazaar cackle'.

 This text is interesting for its ingenuous frankness, a simple and understandable presentation of the tasks of the brigade. The only interesting thing here is the information about hypothetical printouts of the “voice of the people” from forums, “put on Father’s table” as rationalization proposals, but without criticism, which could spoil the president’s mood. Here thire is as in the 1930s in Soviet Folclior there was this sarcastic epigram:
'We are for laughter, but Shchedrins we need kinder and such a Gogols so they don't touch us'.

 This verse can be used as an epigraph to the “brigade’s” coverage of the life and activities of the Presidents of  Dictators  Republic.

 # Respect and admiration for the VCHK - Cheka / KGB  / FSB - Federal Security Service / GRU.

 All members Brigads are filled with love and respect for the repressive bodies of party of soviet control in all historical guises, starting from the Cheka-OGPU and so on. The brigade calls all reincarnations of the Cheka-KGB "neo-nobility", "law enforcement" and "state-forming patriotic" bodies, the activities of which, including the Gulag, the Russian-speaking society should be proud of. Any participant in virtual discussions who does not sufficiently respect the Cheka-FSB-GRU is declared by the brigade to be “an enemy of the Republics of Postsoviet Space a Russophobe and a Traitor to the Motherland.” The brigade constantly emphasizes the “honesty, heroism and selflessness” of the security officers, “their devoted and selfless service to the Kommunist partiya Regime and the Motherland,” and the “non-corruption” of state security officers, unlike other government officials. Here the team constantly declares the following at any forum:
 'Special services have always existed, they were, are and will be in also all democratic states of the West.' or: 'The KGB is the same intelligence service as the US FBI or the Israeli Mossad or the UK Mi-6.' etc..

 Condemnation of the activities of the KGB-FSB by any of the participants in the discussions evokes genuine strong feelings in the members of the brigade. For example, the following quote is addressed to a reader who has not expressed enough respect for the KGB-FSB (am apologize for its language, but this is the original):
 'EVERY A LiCE EGG  DREAMS OF BECOMING A LOUSE. EVERY NIT ON THE FORUM DREAMS OF BEING NOTICED BY THE KGB. Screams, squirms, begs: 'Notice me, I am the biggest nit!' - and the KGB put a device on you, they are probably did NOT INTERESTED in nits. You grow to size a Louse, the bastards, maybe they'll notice.'

 Recently, the brigade has developed a tendency to separate the KGB from all its previous reincarnations and renamings, to present the organization not as the direct heir of the Cheka-OGPU-NKVD, etc., (as it appears on all its official symbols), but as a kind of 'foam-born Aphrodite', supposedly appeared just yesterday, literally from Putin’s head.

 The key phrase that inevitably infuriates the brigadiers and forces them to reveal themselves in all their glory is “lustration of the KGB officers on all postsoviet space.” Not a single member of the brigade can even for a second come to terms with the thought of a peaceful, legal restriction dividends from the professional activities for former Party bosses and KGB officers. Usually, even after the most calm and innocent mention of the term “lustration,” the brigade shouts in unison about “bloody repression of democratic murderers” and “witch hunts,” after which they simply fall into a collective obscene hysteria.


# Main directions propaganda from the Red Brigada

On all Russian-language forums, brigaders systematically conduct anti-liberal, anti-American, anti-Chechen, anti-Semitic, anti-Western propaganda. As evidence of their slogans and theories, they cite arbitrary interpretations of facts and events, often completely false, forcing their opponents to scour in search of refutation links... The method is convenient and effective, so they diverting the attention opponents from heateds and from unpleasands discussions for the authorities. The favorite method of polemic among the brigade members is the abundant quotation of official and semi-official state propaganda of the Russian Federation, such as articles from the web publication Strana.ru or, for example, the updated Komsomolskaya Pravda. Sometimes the ideological developments of past years are used, for example, the brigade uses Yakovlev’s book “CIA against the USSR”. In addition, they make extensive use of materials such as The Protocols of the Elders of Zion or Hitler's Mein Kampf. Well, the “Short Course of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks)” is quoted constantly (without mentioning the source). This is a collection of mythology and basic ideological values of the web brigade:

1.  Whitewashing of Stalinism, rehabilitation of Stalin with his imperial idea to make  the great Russian people. The cult of Stalin and the founder of the Cheka Dzerzhinsky. Underestimation of the number of victims of Lenin-Stalin repressions in Soviet Union Countres.
2.  Ban on discussing lustrations and crimes of the Cheka-NKVD-KGB. The absolute sanctity of this organization from the day it was founded to the present day.
3.  Constant Jewish Phobia.
4.  Loyalty to any actions and speeches of today's authorities, the cult of Putin, of Lukashenko and oters toteritars sistems liders. Stories about the economic and social prosperity of post soviet spaste under they leadership.
5.  Propaganda of war "down to the last person of a European Etnish Groups." Stories about how “Europe attacked Belarus.” Mythological stories about “hundreds of thousands of Soviet Union Civil peopls” destroyed by the Volkdeutsche in 41-45, and in the brigade's texts, the number of these victims is growing every month. If two years ago they called the figure of 20 thousand, today they call the figure of a millions killed Soviet Unions Peopls including in the former Soviet republics and zones of Soviet influence of the European Union countries. The population of all republics is less than from words of the brigade the number of there killed by in the period of time.
6.  Xenophobia of english, german, french, italian languages , racism, justifications for skinheads and pogroms.
7.  Fierce hatred of Soviet spaste immigrants as defectors and traitors the KGB.
8.  Anti-Americanism, anti-Europeanism the intensity of hatred reminiscent of the times of the Cold War.
9.  Nostalgia for the USSR as a totalitarian empire and a great power that the whole world feared.
10. Restoration of historical concepts and propaganda clichés of Soviet times, exception is only a internationalism.
11. Hatred towards the intelligentsia, especially towards imigrants from Soviet Space, who are perceived by the brigade as 'traitors to the motherland'.
12. Hatred towards dissidents and human rights activists, towards political prisoners of soviet union and oposicion journalists, both past and present.
13. Hatred of perestroika, its ideology, its figures and events. Hatred for the times of Gorbachev and for him.
14. What’s new in the brigade’s ideological baggage compared to the propaganda of the USSR is the accusation of “Russophobia” on all dissidents. This term in the mouths of the brigade members became a complete resemblance to the outdated term “anti-Soviet”, and the accusation of Russophobia began to resemble a modern analogue of Brezhnev’s Article 70 of the Criminal Code /'anti-Soviet agitation and propaganda'/.


# Ideological enemies of the brigade.

 The main enemies of the brigade are democrats /'shitcrats'/, liberals, Chechens, Europeans, Americans, Jews... A special object of hatred is the Russian and Belarusian liberal intelligentsia, nower and former dissidents, independent journalists and the human rights, movement of independent publick  as well as certain particularly hated individuals such like S. Kovalev, E. Bonner, A. Babitsky, A. Politkovskaya, G. Pasko, V. Shenderovich, V. Novodvorskaya, K. Atamanchik and other people known whith who have their own critical thinking  towards the criminal actives elements government. "Brigadniks" always advocate restricting freedom of speech in the name of the "highest interests of the state", for introducing strict censorship, even arresting wrong-thinking intellectuals, human rights activists and journalists. Journalist and ecologist Grigory Pasko is referred to by the brigade exclusively as a “spy and traitor to the motherland.” On the contrary, in the case, for example, with Colonel Yu. Budanov, the “brigade” demonstrates all his understanding and justification. Budanov appears to be either an innocent victim (of war, injury, mental breakdown, corrupt generals, liberal journalists, custom-made justice, etc.), or a 'true patriot', 'a true Russian officer', 'faithful son of the Fatherland'.

 It is paradoxical that the enemies of the brigade are also many liberal authors of publications whose articles are discussed on forums. That is, it turns out that members of the brigade, positioning themselves as honest ordinary people and private individuals, sit for years, days on end, on the forums of publications they don’t like, where they discuss authors they hate. And an even greater paradox is that the editors do not take any action against people who insult their authors, while resolutely acting against their opponents who support liberal journalists.

For example, in a reader's discussion under a small article-memoir of Viktor Shenderovich about a theater studio in the newspaper 'Moscow News' - the site administration /under obvious pressure from the forum team/ cut out all the friendly reviews about the article, but they left the statement of the 'team member' that the author articles: 'already licked Gusinsky’s ass, and now having oral sex with Berezovsky.'

# Relation to the USSR.

 The 'brigade'’s attitude toward the Soviet past is usually apologetic, although not always; there is some range of opinions here. Many brigadiers warmly remember the times of the USSR and idolize the Soviet past with all its attributes, from everyday to legal /often in the characteristic terminology of the Short Course in the History of the CPSU, and even if, according to the “legend” the writer is a very young man who has lived in the West for a long time/. They often publicly dream of restoring the USSR to its former, and even more preferably, to expanded borders. At the same time, there is an active whitewashing of communist leaders, such as Lenin, Stalin, Beria, Brezhnev, Andropov, and the totalitarian ideas of Soviet times. Only the idea of internationalism is completely excluded, which is replaced by intensively instilled national “patriotism”. Moreover, a false substitution is regularly made, when the concept of Motherland is associated exclusively with power, and the Fatherland with the ruling regime. Loyalty to leaders and totalitarian organizations, such as the Communist Party of The Soviet Union, is interpreted as a patriotic position, while speaking out against the regime is considered treason and Russophobia. Also by analogy with other parties in local regions of the former Soviet space as: our home is Russia, our home is Ukraine, ...Belarus, ...Kazakhstan, social national democratic parties, social liberal movements along ethnic, racial, diaspora, clan, party sign. Here we must understand that the general demographic of the entire former Soviet space is mixed, firmly connected by family, clan, diaspora, departmental and other ties

 The 'brigade' is characterized by constant attempts to positively, in a rosy light, present the entire Soviet period of the Belarusian, Ukrainian, Baltic and others region Soviet Union of history, based on propaganda cliches of the Soviet era, deliberately downplaying the number of victims of repression, blaming all the atrocities of the Bolsheviks on Jews and/or enemies due to milestone, exaltation of the imperial character of the Soviet Union.

# Low cultural level and characteristic level language

Despite the apparent diversity of the brigade members, most of them have approximately the same /very low/ cultural level. The vast majority of brigadiers have poor command of their native Russian language, making countless typical stylistic, lexical and grammatical errors, which make it very difficult for them to hide behind various pseudonyms. At the same time, many of them are fluent in ideological cliches - from Soviet to modern. For example, Comrade Zhdanov’s aphorism from fifty years ago sounds very strange on the Internet: 'To whose mill is he pouring water?'.
However, the team uses this often and seriously, without the slightest shade of parody.

By the way, brigadiers on all Runet forums /as an example DELFI.ru/ have obvious problems with a sense of humor; their jokes always have a closet-barracks tone and relate exclusively to excrement, homosexuality, prostitution, pornography and other aspects of the human 'excrement instincts'. And clearly a typical departmental joke from the brigade: 'stop looking for GB under the bed!' We've seen this in various forums several dozen times already. Here is a typical example of the brigade’s 'humor' addressed to a female opponent: 'Toska, make the skirt longer, otherwise your eggs i visible.'

For many members of the brigade on liberal web forums, expressions (written without a hint of irony) such as 'длиньше', 'вследом', 'навроде', 'заместо', etc. are very typical. At analogy others language Soviet Union.

Along with the obscene language that members of the brigade use everywhere, all these distorted words and phrases clearly indicate the specific cultural and educational level of the brigade, which is not typical for the vast majority of Internet users.

# 'Foreigners' in the brigade

Many brigadiers report on forums that they constantly live or visit foreign countries - the USA, Germany, Holland, Israel, Ireland, Sweden, Finland, the Czech Republic, etc. There are also those who claim that they live on the territory of Republic of Lithuania. For the brigade, this is always an occasion to talk about “the horrors of life in America, local Europe and the advantages of the regimes of Putin, Lukashenko, Nazarbayev, Yanukovych, etc.” Some sites have the ability to determine the country in which a visitor's Internet provider is located (by the IP codes available on each computer), and the codes actually indicate the stated countries, sometimes clearly being detected as proxy servers (intermediate systems). Oddly enough, it is these “foreigners” who represent the most aggressive and consistent brigadiers, ardent supporters of the USSR, KGB, Putin, Lukashenko, etc.. These characters love to report on the “nightmarish” realities of life in such “their countres”, as like USA, Germany, France, the United Kingdom and others, about poverty and oppression in them, about violations of human rights in them and the contrasting, simply magnificent similar parameters in the Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Lithuanian and other at countries of the former Soviet space. In their stories they are always silent about the positive aspects of life in civilized countries and lie a lot.

For example, disputes about the cost of goods and services in the same city in which both a brigadier and a local resident from this city live look quite anecdotal. One gets the impression that people live not only in different cities, but also on different planets.

# Individual work with opponents.

As soon as a dissident liberal gets onto the forum, with a clear position as an “ideological opponent,” he is immediately taken into consideration and a collective “active event” is held with him by the entire united web team. Usually the opponent is insulted to unprovoked, or a killer “argument” is given, to which an ordinary person cannot always react adequately. As a result, the liberal either responds sharply, causing a scandal and being branded a “rude” by the entire brigade, or begins to make arguments against the obvious absurdity, to which his opponents do not pay attention, ridiculing him and putting forward other similar arguments. This action takes place exactly according to the scenario of Shukshin’s famous story “Cut!”

The brigade always and invariably organizes collective harassment for a stubborn liberal on the forums, in which, for example, one member of the brigade writes about the ideological inaccuracy and mistakes of a newcomer, a second uses obscene language against a dissident, a third to accuses a liberale of madness, a fourth threatens him with reprisals and murder, etc. d. The fifth one writes complaints to the site administration about any sharp attacks of the bullied person, completely not noticing that these are just emotional breakdowns due to massive collective bullying. It seems that the goal of the brigade is to immediately drive away the new liberal, discouraging him from speaking at this forum. If a liberal persists and does not leave, a specific arsenal of means is used against him, up to collective complaints of the entire team to the site administration, or even behind-the-scenes pressure on it, in order to block the dissident from entering the forum. During these periods, also massive virus attacks on the computer of a stubborn liberal are possible.

# Accusing opponents of working for 'a enemies of fatherland'.

In cases where opponents of the brigade on forums criticize liders of diktature regime, condemn the suppression of freedom of speech and democracy in trritory of dictature regime, or show disloyalty to state security agencies of regimes, the brigade immediately begins to accuse them of working for money for the CIA, Mossad, Saudi Arabia, Zionists, Freemasons, Movladi Udugov and etc. The brigadiers present the matter in such a way that any critic of the autoritare/totalitare regimes politics is an enemy of the countres, a “Russophobe,” an agent of the Kremlin, and the only incentive for his participation in political discussions is to earn the enemy’s salary. An option for compromising an opponent is the monotonous angry invective of the 'brigade' against 'emigrants who are traitors to the motherland, teaching true  patriots from abroad for dirty money.'

According to this logic, all of humanity is overcome by such a stormy love for the Cheka from Soviet regime from Post Soviet Union Regions, what people this can extinguish this powerful feeling in themselves only for huge vere amounts of money. However, logic is rarely present in the texts of the brigade members. Rather, their obsessive accusations of opponents in working off their salaries speak about the “team members” themselves, about the incentives and motives of their stay on the Internet, among an intelligent public alien to them, on liberal forums that are disgusting to them.
 
# Frequent change of pseudonyms (nicknames).

Brigadiers tend to frequently change pseudonyms (nicknames). The same “authors” often write on the forum under many pseudonyms, imitating dialogues with themselves, expressing support for themselves and the “mass character” of their point of view. In case of a nickname change, the author calls himself a different person, sometimes even a different gender, despite the mirror-like vocabulary, phraseology, level of Russian language proficiency, ideological position and arguments. Due to the low cultural level and the tendency to speech cliches, it is not difficult to determine the affiliation of several “brigade” nicknames to one author.

# Information noise and forgery nicknames

On unmoderated forums, the brigade uses such a method of destroying heated unpleasant for their owners discussions that  to the  as posting huge quantities of meaningless texts on extraneous topics, which are called “flooding”. Often these are texts of a pornographic or anti-Semitic nature, repeated tens or hundreds of times in a row. Sometimes a team, on behalf of an opponent with a liberal reputation, under his nickname and address, writes offensive and obscene texts en masse. In the DELFI.ru forum, this practice was called cloning, and fake texts were called clones. It is worth noting that this method is almost never used against the brigade itself, that is, liberal opponents do not consider it possible for themselves to steal and writinged from other people’s names and addresses.

Oct 24, 2011 - Commissioners of The Internet...

  Henchmanship, conjuncturic loyalty to an organized criminal group that has usurped regional executive, legal, and judicial systems as the essence of a persons of a Totalitarian Society.

 I offer for discussion an excellent work that comprehensively describes the virtual the Henchmanship of the regimes of Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Lithuania and others that have a homogeneous component of totalitarian authoritarian moral and legal norms as a natural essence.

 Table of contents:
  - 'Internet Commissioners';
  - 'Brigade';
  - 'Criminal manner of communication';
  - 'Commissars of the Internet, Part Two...';
  - 'Cui prodest hoc ?'.

 Part I. The virtual eye of the state security service system in the service of an organized criminal group that has usurped the regional legal perpower structures.
 
 Political forums on the Internet are a relatively new hobby of the propagandists totalitar sistems for manipulation of public opinion, for they this is a virtual global kitchen in which public opinion is cooked. Articles devoted to the review of speeches totaritarian public and official  persons at forums as one of the forms of monitoring public opinion are increasingly appearing in various print and online publications. The main note of all these articles is boundless surprise: “What is happening in country to intellectuals and intellectuals?” And today, just like everywhere else so in countries of totaritar jurisdiction they are the ones who use the Internet the most and are interested in public life and politics. and on these resources doesn't matter as lithuanian, so and belarusian, russian, ukrainian language web forums there is rampant hatred, xenophobia, racism, sionizm, nacizm, propaganda of violence, immoral rudeness and raving. A normal person, after reading such forums, feels sick. And, “These countries is falling into madness with increasing acceleration,” “The public speaking intelligentsia in totaritar juridictions as has become paralysis,” is the general note of radio commentators, web publications, and various American&European media.

 Today in a number of European and American Political Science Institutes research departments have been created on the Runet (the Russian-language part of the Internet), using political forums experts judge the mood of the thinking elite of Russia, Belarus, the Baltic countries, etc. For example, here is just one, but Very typical for such reviews, a quote from the Israeli website of the MAOF research group:
 "The comments of ordinary residents of totalitarian jurisdictions amaze readers with their ferocious unanimity. It feels like America attacked not the Arabs who showed unmotivated aggression, but countries of totalitarian jurisdictions itself. Internet users in their responses on the forum show almost the same wild anger as their Islamic clients. And, interestingly, they don’t need any imams! They themselves are so stunned with anger that, after 12 years outsite totaritarian sistem of thinking, it is sometimes unclear to me in what language the opinion is them expressed.".

 Most researchers citing speeches from russian, belorus, ukraine, lithuanian internet web forums (as an example DELFI.ru and others) make an unambiguous conclusion that the majority residents of totalitarian jurisdictions fully and completely support leaders of these criminal terrorist groups who usurped state institutions of power, that these contries intelligentsia and youth suddenly turned into evil and aggressive “scumbags.” But here in this article we will try to rehabilitate conclusions, thinking, behavior, which expresses itself from on behalf of  hobitans of totaritar regions the Internet.

 Quite a long time ago, me had doubts whether this public opinion from inhabitans totaritar sistems is really represented so indecently on from criminally terrorist groups that usurped state governance systems in the above regions forums (as an example DELFI.ru and others)? Are these really just “comments from ordinary Russians, Ukrains, Belarus, Lithuanian” that “strike all observers with the ferocious unanimity of the readers”?

 Without a doubt, the influence of official propaganda on public opinion in these regions is enormous; the revival of totalitarian socialists ideology is in full swing. Many temporarily forgotten ideological values of Soviet times are presented by Putin’s, Lukoshenko's, Lansberg's ideologists as know-how, and a systematic restoration of totalitarian ideas is underway. Therefore, it is not surprising that among some such participants in web forums there are sometimes radical anti-Americanists, anti-Semites, and supporters of nacizm, rasizm, sionizm. But according to our assumptions, there are much fewer of them, real people with such totalitarian views, than it appears from a quick glance at the reviews on such's forums.

 The any Internet presupposes several at least approximate “user criteria” - a certain level of material well-being (when there is already enough for bread, housing and a computer in the house), a certain level of computer skills, a certain level of educations that allows you to operate with political and historical categories. People with marginal, Soviet-communist or national-fascist views, of course, exist, but their range of interests, as a rule, lies far from the Internet and liberal political forums. In addition, it's difficult for older people wich soviet union times who are not  to computers work on the network of online.

 Until 1998-99, Russian, Ukraina, Belarus, Lithuanian lahguages forums (as an example DELFI.ru) were quite homogeneous in terms of the sociological characteristics of users. About 70-80 percent of the audience consisted of like-minded people, people of liberal and democratic beliefs, representatives of the middle class of such sistems and Russian-speaking emigration. Now, just four years later, totalitarian opinions on such and  Russian-language forums have suddenly increased - up to 60-80% of all speeches.

 Such sharp quantitative jump does not correspond to the spectrum of public opinion and is at odds with the data of online voting on significant issues of modern life. For example, approximately 80% of authors on all web forums criticize the United States very aggressively and monotonously. But in voting on those sites where you can vote only once from one computer, 84% of such regions and Russian-speaking Internet users support the United States. A similar picture emerges with approval and disapproval of the Libyan war, with support for the policies of Gadafi, Lukashenko, Putin and their administration, etc. Everywhere the situation is identical - everywhere where voting is protected, where it is impossible to vote one person in second time - the results of the polls are diametrically opposed to the polls that are “unprotected” from repeated voting and are inversely proportional to the number of “totalitarian” speeches on the forums.

 Just three or four years ago in such net (as an example DELFI.ru, .lt and others) the liberal group of participants was much larger than the totalitarian group. However, in recent years, the group of “guardians” on all liberal and neutral socio-political forums of such net (DELFI.ru, lt others) has grown sharply due to the emergence of a huge number of characters of the same type, forming a kind of welded backbone of any forum. The activities of this group are so characteristic and unusual, and the members of the group are so methodologically and ideologically similar to each other, that it began to attract the attention of many regular visitors to the forums. When, during the war in Iraq, messages signed “Ramzay” began to appear on web forums, to leaking in GRU (State Intelligence Directorate of Russian) intelligence information during the course of hostilities, this already attracted the attention of even daily internet media to such participants of forums.

 What is typical for such characters - The characters from this group appear to be people of different professions, writing from different cities and countries, they, according to them, belong to different social and age groups. However, with prolonged communication and careful observation of them, you inevitably discover a number of very characteristic features and common features that are not characteristic of any other participants in the discussions.

 The aggressive, totalitarian ideology preached by these people is not the main feature here. Some members of this group even try to appear relatively liberal. But, in addition to the usual “statist” ideology (as well as xenophobia, anti-Americanism, anti-Semitism, Zionism, Nacizm, Rasizm and intolerance of dissent), these people are distinguished by a rigid attitude, group corporate morality, a common information base, clear norms of behavior and very specific methods of polemics and “working with the object” . This group has principles for processing mass consciousness, manipulations of public opinion that are common to all forums, related, first of all, to conscious and systematic lies, slander and disinformation.

 In addition, the date of the simultaneous appearance on the net (as an example of DELFI.ru, lt and others) of this entire, clearly unified, group of similar participants in political web discussions is very characteristic - here did talking about  1999.

 The phenomenon that we will try to explore here is not the ideological or spiritual community of post-Soviet people bound by similar views, nor the aggressiveness of isolated anonymous rude people of the net. In our opinion, this is a qualitatively different phenomenon - the existence on Russian, belarus, Lithuanian, Ukraina net forums (as an example of DELFI.ru and others) of an organized and fairly professional group of people from a single “Red Brigade”. We assume that such a “Red Brigade”, consisting of ideologically and methodologically identical characters, “works”, trying to shape the public opinion the authorities need, in almost any popular socio-political web forum that has at least several hundred visits a day.

Oct 12, 2011 - Gang showdowns of Lukashenko's !!!

 You are leaving the entrance of your house. And are you attacking by unknown people without any identification marks. They beat you and try to throw you into a car standing nearby.
What thoughts are running through your head? For what? Why? Who is this? The Banditry?
Yes, This is Banditry!
This situation is not uncommon in Belarus. But it will not be because of criminal showdowns banditship groops /other than organized crime group of Lukashenko in Belarus not exist others gangster groups  and so they does not arrange blood showdowns/.  today in Belarus exist  only one organized criminal groop, and since it is absolute and dominant this groop don't need to fight with practically anyone. But but there is a conjuncture struggle both within this organized criminal group and its struggle with the inhabitants of the country who are disloyal to it. Remember the disappearances of prominent Belarusian political figures in the late 90s? The bodies have still not been found. Someone will say: “Oh, these are the dashing nineties, where did this not happen?” The “Dashing Nineties post Soviet Union spaste” are long gone. About to enter 2012, but what does that chang ?
 For example Recently, some Belarusian opposition figures found themselves in similar situations, as Anatoly Lebedko and his wife Svetlana, they got into a “mess” while returning home after the Eastern Partnership summit in Warsaw. Unknown people were waiting for spouses Lebedko in the yard and attacked them. a fight broke out with the participation of neighbors, residents of the house who came to the aid of the spouses. The house entrance did bloking.  The police were called. The attackers “poked” some crusts at the police officers, which indicated that they were “theirs.” It is not clear why this masquerade was needed? Who did they decide to scare? scare the spouses Lebedko? Or this have they once again decided to demonstrate the legal chaos going on in naw Belarus?
 An even situation more unprecedented situation in its absurdity happened to two activists of the Lukashanko's opposition on a highway in the Volozhin region. A traffic police officer stopped a car in which there were the belorusian activists Valery Ukhnalev and Vaclav Oreshko (the second was with his daughter). After Ukhnalev got out of the car to present his documents, unknown masked people immediately appeared and began to rob they. From the car took away all, and documents, and personal belongings. They acted very harshly. So, I’m wondering how the traffic police officer felt, who probably did not participate in this crime on his own whim? How can this be explained? This is simple the Ordinary banditry!
 Conjunctarism is an extremely harmful feeling. It can appear in different guises: from ordinary sabotage to a deadly crime. The man at the head of Belarus all these hypostases has gone through. I understand his emocios. Sometimes it seems like he doesn't have any, but that's not true. They are. Revenge... Envy... Greed... Plus a set of a animal instincts.
And the question no fos Lukashenko, question is: what to motivates his “chain dogs”? Obviously this not a sense of humanity or patriotism. Are these really the same emocios as at  the “the their owner'”?

from Constantine,
response to Lukashenk's Internet Commissioners of Lithuania:
 Rudeness is the national haracter of Lukashenko's entourage... I think with the decline of the moral legal system of Belarusian Lithuanian mass entertainers, the presence of such Commissars in the Internet space of Lithuanian region will end.
 Lithuanian-Belarusian public figures, Soviet activists, propagandists, and now mass entertainers of the Russian-Lithuanian-Belarusian dictatorial regimes are buzzing about Lukash’s victories in the elections, but do not deny that the actual visit to the polling stations and the actual one were very different! They call this voting at the place of work, serving a sentence, etc. They also do not deny that groups of NKVD officers arrest civilians who, in one way or another, publicly express their distrust of the leadership of the Belarusian Republic. They also do not deny the facts of hooligan behavior of these same Law Enforcement Officers in public places. The facts of physical pressure and repression are also obvious ! And in Lithuania, last time the same thing has been happening lately at the level of elections in administrative self-governments and others.
What is this? This is Red Terrorism !!!
 When employees of lokal organized criminal groups, both Belarusian and Lithuanian, inflict any bodily injuries to oposition, it is impossible to talk about the provability of such criminal acts of violence by documental means  - medical institutions are prohibited from conducting examinations and confirming with documents the presence of bodily injuries or mutilations to persons applying privately. This is a legalized concealment of crimes against  hobitans of regions Lithuania and Belorusian or a veiling of a massive system of repression and genocide of the residents of the Republic of Lithuania and Belarus. I think xhat the punishment for everyone involved in such a genocide must will be adequate...
 Today most legals, publick and oficial persons on Belorusia, as Lithuania this is simple - evile, little trolls, confident in their impunity and permissiveness !
