Diplomats as Bit-Part Actors

I was only then dimly aware of how Russian Disinfolklore creates realities solely in order to provide content for its Disinfolklore apparatus.

Diplomats as I was there then (and even the Russian diplomats I worked with on that bridge to Russia-occupied Ukraine) were mere bit-part actors activated to play roles we had no idea we were performing, for diabolical ends I could not then (2015-2018) have imagined in my wildest phantasmagorical nightmares. We were kindling to ignite in a civilisation confusion about the rights and wrongs of Russia’s brutal genocidal invasion of Ukraine in early 2014.

For several years my job was negotiating local ceasefires between the armed Russian bridge trolls. We whose fate it was to participate in the daily array of diabolical dramas staged there by Russian war lords became like stock characters in a long-running soap opera.

Russia does not merely describe reality — it creates realities solely to provide content for its Disinfolklore apparatus. Diplomats, soldiers, journalists become stock characters in a soap opera they did not write and cannot see. The author’s own experience: years as an unwitting bit-part actor in Russia’s spectacle, “kindling to ignite civilisational confusion.”
