A playful American who likes to troll: What the first US citizen sanctioned by the European Union is doing
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.
