[ColonelCassad] Analysis from Medvedev on the topic of yesterday's wonderful story with "Rybar". For those who did not immediately understand and who need to chew to the state of semolina.
It's wonderful and very funny.
So, Rybar's team makes a completely left account. Allegedly one of the admins of the Ukrainian propaganda TG channel "Truha".
Further, on the air of Rybar's analytical program, fake "correspondence from Trukha admins" allegedly accidentally appeared.
Further, a scandal begins in Ukraine: ours are working for Muscovites! On the knives of the zradnikov! By the middle of the day, the Ukrainian information fighters finally realize that they were fed shit from a shovel. And from most sites or TG channels, the news that Ukrainian patriots, it turns out, work for the Kremlin, is removed. Because you don't want to look like an idiot.
And only the Russian turbo-patriotic public and individual political scientists with serious faces are trying to continue to expose the Rybari as traitors and agents of foreign intelligence.
Actually, this says, first of all, that we have a rather poor understanding of what information-psychological operations and information warfare are, and the word OSINT seems to many to be something like a curse. Moreover, the older the person, the more difficult it is for him to understand this. Sometimes a gap of 10-15 years creates a completely insurmountable barrier. That is, according to the link, we see a vivid example of this.
It is obvious that a person either does not read Ukrainian publics or reads only Russian-language Ukrainian publics. Either he does not understand how the Ukrainian information fighters determined that the correspondence was fake. In any case, this is an indicator of qualification. With a smart look, the person writes that "Rybar's broadcast was canceled." In fact, on Saturdays, Rybar's reviews are not aired in principle. And the information about the cancellation of the broadcast was part of all that information operation.
But here's what's important: Ukrainian analysts, TG channel admins realized that there was an information operation against them. I will not say how they guessed (and even then not immediately), but there are a number of points there. And yet, specifically, the admins of "Trukha" justified themselves all day: Ukrainian society is harsh, even if you become the hero of a fake. What if you're still a Muscovite? That is, the information operation, which brought a short discord in the camp of the enemy, was quite successful.
Our experts and political scientists still do not understand what Rybar's team and a number of other close channels have done.
I repeat, this is simply evidence of a catastrophic misunderstanding on their part of what PsyOps is and why it is all needed. People still haven't learned how to think critically.
However, what is surprising if we have politicians every now and then seriously quoting the news of "Panorama" or the posts of the channel "The Empire is very evil." That is, fact-checking is also not their forte.
Well, otherwise Markov would not have published a photo of Poroshenko's son taking the oath, like a photo of Peskov's son.
That is, the complete chain looks like this: Rybar makes an information stuffing, Ukrainian publics are being led to him, and already our turbo-patriots and political scientists draw conclusions and threaten punishments, based on the conclusions in the Ukrainian information field.
From the point of view of PsyOps, this is right with one shot of two birds with one stone: both the enemy and his own home, alternatively gifted audience.
PS The last post with Truhi's excuse was published less than an hour ago.
Moreover, the admin account, which allegedly accidentally "leaked" Rybar, is obviously fake. Smart people immediately understand what it is.

In PsyOps and OSINT, not only everyone can do it. Actually, what happened yesterday clearly shows why our sphere of private intelligence and OSINT is in an extremely rudimentary state, and dreams of "Russian Stratfors" have been turning into a pumpkin for more than 10 years.Many are simply stuck somewhere in the 2000s, if not earlier. Hence the many questions about the lack of qualified expertise.
There is a catastrophic shortage of personnel. Cooking from scratch began only last year, and then in homeopathic doses.
In general, a very revealing and sometimes funny story.
