Honing our Incoming Troll Radars to identify trolls before they enter our Inner Minds
Research Impact
Metrics represent documented engagement with disinfolklore research and analysis
I first noticed the Disinfolklore Universe now spreading through our neural networks, like triffids rewilding the garden of Eden, when it was in a more primitive form. In 2016, I was a diplomat posted to eastern Ukraine. My job was to establish the facts in relation to security incidents related to Russia’s Disinfolklore-justified military occupation of part of Ukraine.
Working in that Steppe-land, I realised that I perceived part of reality through cognitive lenses — archetypes — that had entered my mind as a small child from folktale-inspired stories. Russian Disinfolklorists were leaning into this aspect of Indo-Europeans’ cognition.
This site is to help you learn the tools I use as a professional Disinfolklore identifier and interpreter. So that you learn to counteract the Disinfolklore Universe descending upon humanity, like a curse.

About Decoding Trolls
Decoding Trolls is my nom de plume. It’s also what I do — decode trolls, and teach others how I do it. In case it helps them.
My inspirations include the past 6,000 years of Indo-European culture, particularly in the geographical area between Ireland and India — Manuland.
I work through text, audio, video and images.
