Web of lies spun by the pro-Kremlin outlets are often intricate. However, sometimes clumsy mistakes are made. We have collected 10 examples from 2021 where pro-Kremlin sources were caught in the act of producing absurd, way-over-the-top and particularly embarrassing disinformation.
Cases in the EUvsDisinfo database focus on messages in the international information space that are identified as providing a partial, distorted, or false depiction of reality and spread key pro-Kremlin messages. This does not necessarily imply, however, that a given outlet is linked to the Kremlin or editorially pro-Kremlin, or that it has intentionally sought to disinform. EUvsDisinfo publications do not represent an official EU position, as the information and opinions expressed are based on media reporting and analysis of the East Stratcom Task Force.
