Activists of “Cyber Resistance” obtained documents that demonstrate exactly how the propagandist Anna Arbatskaya creates an alternative reality about the so-called SVO for the Russian citizen.
Before the full-scale war with Russia, Anna made a living by filming mediocre commercials and stories in the Russian hinterland outside the Moscow Art Museum. However, from 2022, her team began to receive orders from the Russian state machine for the production of videos about the war against Ukraine, the Russian army and the so-called “volunteers” who help her.
Anna Arbatskaya, who calls herself “Panther”, positions herself as a “volunteer” and “journalist”, helping the Russian occupation army and propaganda. It was this person who published cynical footage from “Zenit”, where the Russian occupiers had previously shot unarmed Ukrainian soldiers of the 110th brigade, who had surrendered as prisoners. It is noteworthy that Anna cynically called the project about the crimes of the Russian army in the occupied Ukrainian territories “Army of the Good” in an Orwellian manner.
Activists of Cyber Resistance got access to the propagandist’s letters, which talked about work on the specified project and found interesting documents. One of them turned out to be the estimate for filming, which lists the fees of actors and staff on the project’s set.
After all, no “army of good” exists, but only Anna’s low social responsibility and her anti-human lust for money. For this, Anna Arbatskaya’s team is hiring people who, based on the position description in the estimate, will play a tanker driver and a mechanic driver in one of the videos about “SVO”. The sums for such work are quite decent.
From the figures, it turns out that Anna Arbatskaya’s “mechanic driver” receives almost three times more per day on the set than the driver-mechanic of the Russian army on the front lines.
That is, being a fake soldier in Russia is more profitable and safer than a real “participant of the SVO”, because Russia is a kingdom of crooked mirrors.
Hence, it is not surprising that the Russian propaganda machine tries to hide its internal, so to speak, “kitchen”. For this purpose, additional agreements “on the non-disclosure of confidential information” are concluded between customers represented by production studios and performers like Anna.
But “confidential information” roams very freely in Anna Arbatska’s e-mail box. For which the activists of “Cyber Resistance” are very grateful to her.
The Center of National Resistance notes that the propagandists will bear responsibility for their crimes and will not be able to hide even in the Russian Federation.
