In 2025, Russian internet resources in the «News and Media» category lost up to 15% of their views and visitors in Yandex and Google. According to Kokoc Performance, organic traffic in the first half of 2025 fell by an average of 30% (in some cases — by up to 60%). This reflects a global trend: people are tired of bad news and simply unable to process the huge volume of incoming information.

Former Florida deputy sheriff John Mark Dougan fled the US to Russia in 2016 to escape criminal charges when he was 43. Since then, he has given interviews to Russian propagandists as a disillusioned American, claimed to have interfered in US presidential elections, and even allegedly handed «Epstein files» to Russian authorities. He has also created over a hundred websites through which he spreads pro-Russian disinformation to Western audiences. Journalists from The Washington Post have established that Dougan is overseen by the GRU and the Center for Geopolitical Expertise—a think tank linked to philosopher Alexander Dugin. We spoke with Dougan and tell the true biography of a man who made fakes his profession.

There should be only one entry point for consumers — Russian Post. All private marketplaces will also have to operate through it, and, according to the government's logic, they'll even have to pay for the privilege.

The trial began in Paris two weeks ago, accusing 10 people of online harassment of the First Lady of France. The accused — bloggers and internet publications prone to conspiracy theories — have for years spread rumors that Brigitte Macron was born a man and underwent gender transition. Neither the fact that the woman has three children from her first marriage, nor other obvious circumstances of her life, disproving such extravagant versions from the standpoint of common sense, stopped these claims.

Although the First Amendment, guaranteeing freedom of speech and the press, is still in effect in the USA and protects hundreds of prestigious editorial offices and thousands of talented journalists working in them, for some reason millions of Americans prefer to entrust their information services to very strange people.

When the state promises to leave everything necessary for life, it almost always means that the «extra» will disappear. Russia is officially moving to a filtered communication regime: mobile internet is increasingly jammed regionally, and the window to the outside is narrowed to a «white list» of approved services — banks, marketplaces, loyal social networks, and government portals. At the same time, citizens are being forced to use the state messenger MAX — a «patriotic» replacement for WhatsApp/Telegram, built without end-to-end encryption and with direct access for law enforcement agencies. This is not a set of disparate measures but a coherent architecture of digital isolation. And it is already in operation.
