DISINFORMATION CASE DETAILS

DISINFO: Eastern Europe is used by Anglo-Saxons to isolate Russia

SUMMARY

The so-called "New Europe", is the conglomerate of countries of Eastern Europe, which is nothing but a fief of the United States of America, and an American Trojan horse inside the European Union, and that "Europe" specifically is what the Anglo-Saxons use to isolate Russia.

RESPONSE

This is a mix of recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about lost sovereignty/external control, Western Russophobia and anti-Russian activities, and about the US presence in Europe.

Pro-Kremlin media often use the term “Anglo-Saxons” to portray the West as “evil”, “belligerent” and “morally corrupt” and to reinforce the idea that Russia belongs to a different civilization, as explained in our earlier analysis.

The US does not control the EU, nor Eastern Europe. The EU Member States are sovereign countries and make sovereign decisions about their own security and foreign policies, including relations with Russia. The US is an important ally to the EU but EU policy is not determined by the US. The decisions in the EU are made by the directly elected European Parliament, the European Commission together with the European Council (the governments of the 27 EU countries).

See earlier disinformation messages in our database alleging that the Baltics are United States’ "Trojan horses" in the EU; or that Western leaders are merely marionettes of the shadow rulers and that the Anglo-Saxons rule America “from abroad”; or that Anglo-Saxons are at the edge of anti-Russian attack.

Disclaimer

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.
