How well organised #Russia information warfare is? Here’s just one example - a periodically updated manual from one Russian military channel containing links to detailed instructions on each subject. Each of these items below is one or a dozen of links to posts with very detailed, yet simple to follow instructions with screenshots, translations to Russian etc.

Information Warfare: 0. Instructions for communicating in Telegram with CIPSO [PSYOP] 1. Memes for distribution in Ukrainian publics 1.2 Recommendations on the use of memes 2.

If you ever posted something contradictory with Russian narratives on some social networks and was immediately countered with an avalanche of pro-Russian comments, they were very likely following one of such guides. It’s very easy - they just translate your arguments (e.g. “Russian invasion is illegal”) into Russian, search for keywords in one of the guides (“what to respond to argument about legality of the special military occupation”) and choose one a dozen ready templates to answer (e.g. “what about US invasion on Iraq”), conveniently already translated to English.
