Disinfolklore’s Identifying Markers

If you are going to counter Russian Disinfolklore, protect democracy, and face down authoritarianism, then, I would suggest it’s worth getting your head around these Russian Disinfolklore operations, no matter how complicated they seem. Disinfolklore is an analytical method to parse Russian disinformation that helps you navigate this Alice Through the Looking-Glass world Russian Disinfolklore creates to exhaust our capacity to fight back. Russian Disinfolklore has identifying markers running through it like the way a fluorescent dye identifies artificial DNA inserts. Disinfolklore teaches you to identify this fluorescence.
