Content: The campaign, called Secondary Infektion, sought to sow Russian propaganda campaigns against its critics. What Graphika discovered were “2,500 pieces of content distributed across six years, seven languages and more than 300 platforms and web forums… in Pakistan and Australia.” Among its campaigns included “Ukraine as a failed state”, “Muslims as aggressive invaders”, “Europe as weak and divided”.
