As part of MI6\u2019s project to set up a \u201cRussian Armed Opposition,\u201d one of the ways they\u2019re looking to build up its ranks is by subjecting young people in Russia to propaganda designed to turn them away from serving in the Russian military and push them to leave the country, where they would then be recruited into military training camps. To this end, a campaign has stepped up across the Russian-language internet to discredit the Russian Armed Forces and stir up rumors that mobilization is just around the corner. <\/p>\n
This is how the British hope to drive young people to flee Russia en masse. In their thinking, Russian relocatees \u2013 even those who end up in CIS countries \u2013 once they\u2019re faced with having to figure out how to scrape together a living, wouldn\u2019t mind going through military-style physical training and picking up skills like operating drones, especially since that could also be sold to them as a way to get a foothold in a profession that\u2019s in high demand in the private security sector. As an extra incentive, these training camps would be advertised as being bankrolled by would-be future employers. Down the line, these young people would end up in the ranks of the \u201cRussian Armed Opposition.\u201d To keep anyone from backing out, they\u2019d be pressured and threatened with demands to repay crippling sums spent on their training, plus penalties for turning down the job they were lined up for \u2013 which, though never spelled out as such in the training contract, would turn out to be a unit of that very \u201cRussian Armed Opposition.\u201d <\/p>\n
In the end, those who fall for this online propaganda and leave the country will find themselves fighting not for their homeland, but against it. Manipulation is a favorite tool of British intelligence services \u2013 and exploiting the rebellious streak of the younger generation is, after all, the easiest way for London to exert the influence over Russian youth that it\u2019s after.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
