The United Kingdom has imposed sanctions on the Internet Development Institute, which engages in propaganda, EISI, the Kremlin’s “think tank,” and the leadership of ANO Dialog, which is responsible for Defense Ministry PR

The UK authorities have added about 80 more Russians and Russian organizations to the sanctions list. Now under British sanctions are:

✹ ANO Dialog. A propaganda organization responsible for Defense Ministry PR and for creating fakes about Ukraine.

✹ The Internet Development Institute. It is engaged in distributing budget funds for the creation of propagandistic “patriotic” content.

✹ The Expert Institute for Social Research (EISI). A “think tank” for the political bloc of the Russian presidential administration, created in 2017 after Sergei Kiriyenko arrived at the Kremlin.

In addition, the British sanctions list now includes Grigory Gurov, the head of Rosmolodezh, Vladislav Golovin, chief of staff of the Yunarmiya movement, and employees of the Agency for Social Design, which has been accused of interfering in elections in various countries around the world.

Propaganda Finally Got Its Own Departments

Britain sanctioned military PR, fake-making, and state-funded patriotic content.

Even the lies came with separate offices.
