he's winning on most fronts, isn't he? disrupting the US election (again) and generally fucking with our heads on a daily basis with coordinated disinformation, the bogus Ukraine meddling in the 2016 election story flowing from the lips of GOP trump lackeys, in control in syria (well, pluses and minuses to that...), flaunting how they essentially got away with poisoning the Skripals on UK soil, etc.

That sounds pretty significant. Surkov is regarded as the brains behind Russia's 'information warfare' stuff, isn't he? Managed opposition, contradictory stories, conspiracy theories, all of that stuff.

Yeah but his mode of operation and the rationale behind it has been internalised and implemented by now, in Russia and in the rest of the world. He's irrelevant.

Probably. Maybe he has some personal 'magic touch' that makes it so effective, though?

Or maybe not, I mean by the sound of it a big part of why it succeeds is its very crudeness and obviousness.

Anyone else seeing reports that Putin has Parkinson's Disease and is planning to step down in January?

No-one interested in this? Girlfriend asked on facebook about "uncle vova" and it seems that quite a few people in Russia DO think that Putin is ill.

no worries, everything's under control

Ye Planning Russia Trip to Meet Putin and Perform Sunday Service, Says Advisor

While new U.S. sanctions against Russia could shut down travel between the countries, U.S. citizens are currently permitted to travel to Russia under certain conditions. The U.S. Department of State currently lists Russia with a level 4 “do not travel” advisory, due to terrorism, harassment by Russian government security officials, the embassy’s limited ability to assist U.S. citizens in Russia and the arbitrary enforcement of local law.

“This is Ye, Ye is going to get there regardless. What are they going to say? He’s going to be a special guest of the Agalarovs,” says Sudan. “Kanye knows what’s going on more than the average human being, he’s well aware of things. And it’s nothing against the United States or to cause conflicts, but Ye is Ye — he can’t be controlled.”

Looks like one of those comedy films where they have dinner in silence until someone says "pass the salt" and the other one wangs it down the table for them to catch.
