Documents obtained by investigative journalists describe how the GRU, Russia’s military intelligence agency, is training students in hacking attacks and disinformation tactics at Bauman Moscow State Technical University. Yep, that’s where Sandworm and Fancy Bear get fresh talent from.

Some of the graduates are already serving in GRU Unit 74455, commonly known as Sandworm, which is responsible for attacks on civilian infrastructure in Ukraine, Georgia, and elsewhere.

During the courses, students are taught to create viruses and videos using “manipulation, pressure, and hidden propaganda,” and other skills relevant to the GRU. The training materials draw on the GRU’s experience gained during the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

PS: I decided to post link to this article here after seen it mention some attacks by GRU hackers against Georgia.

Tried to establish contact with an older neighbor. Done this first time in few years.

Instantly had shit shower full of kremlin disinformation shit with "gems" (or mind germs?) including "Ukrainian regime grabbed the saints remains from Kiev Pechorsky Lavra!!! Remains of saints!!!", "Russia are orthodox brothers so they did not bomb Tbilisi and stepped back in 2008!" "Do you know about Epstein files!? Pedophile [a humiliating word about Jews] ate children!!!!".

Disgusting. It gives me strong need to buy bunker somewhere in deep of Australia, or in the middle of Amazon jungles - the farther the better.

I guess this is typical thing here - people experiencing consequences of "disinformation lobotomy" via hours of watching TV swamp like Imedi, Objektiv, or drinking sewers right from the source - russian TV channels like "soloviev live", "1st channel", russia today, and alike.

Yes, there are some other sources of disinfo, but I thought first about TV.

But my question is this: is there any sense to interact with these people? Or imagine like they are annoying distraction, a Matrix glitch, and don't interact with these people at all, including in questions normally requiring cooperation with neighbors, like the repairs of apartment building?
