Russian propaganda has different layers regarding the channels, intensity, and quality of the narratives it uses.
Usually, the public and even many "experts" see only a limited range of what is happening, or they refuse to see more because they are even part of it. 🧵

"Кремлівські меседжі дозволені": як Австрія стала центром російських наративів у Європі
В Австрії фактично немає законів, які реально обмежують поширення російської пропаганди. ЗМІ часто описують Відень як центр російської розвідки в Європі.
