They noted that according to a survey of the All -Russian Center for the Study of Public Opinion (VCIM Russian - Ed. ) The Russian authorities are trying to manipulate public opinion on anti -Western and leading narratives. In particular, on September 26, VCIM released the results of the survey on how Russians treat people and organizations registered as "Inagents". 61% of respondents believe that "foreign agents" are "traitors" who "spread lies" about the Russian Federation.
In addition, after the start of a full -scale invasion, Russia has expanded legislation on "foreign agents". "The measures narrow the information space within Russia, it is increasingly difficult to articulate any point of view, including dissent for war, which deviates from official information,"-added in British intelligence.
We will remind, on August 10 it became known that in the Russian Federation increased censorship, resulting in Russians restricted access to virtual private networks (VPN). British intelligence believes that they have done so that Russian citizens do not have the opportunity to read alternative and objective international news sources.
