What it claims

German media and politicians are accused of deliberately inciting hatred towards Russia and abandoning historical responsibility for Nazi crimes. By manipulatively framing the editorial policies of outlets like Der Spiegel and quoting Kremlin-aligned figures, the operation attempts to discredit German democratic discourse as “fascist” and hostile.

Target audience

Examples (paraphrased)

We paraphrase rather than quote: propaganda's exact wording is built to spread, so we carry the claim and not the craft. Each example cites the post it came from.

  • German media, specifically Der Spiegel, use propaganda clichés about a “new axis of evil” to turn the population against Russia and China.

  • European culture is no longer free, as the European Commission punishes institutions for cooperating with Russia, promoting aggressive Russophobia instead of democratic values.

Goal

To deepen social divisions in Germany by exploiting feelings of historical guilt and to undermine trust in mainstream media (“Systemmedien”) by portraying them as propaganda tools.

Techniques used

  • Loaded LanguageUse of terms like “axis of evil”, “Russophobia”, “fascist regime”, and “insane polarisation” to emotionally charge the events.
  • Appeal to Fear / PrejudiceWarnings that Germany might feel the consequences of war “on its own skin” due to the policies of its elites.

The real grievance it exploits

German memory culture and genuine citizen anxiety over the risk of war escalation, as well as real debates regarding the limits of free speech and art under sanctions.

How to counter

  • Technique exposure: Notice how propaganda uses isolated opinions or editorial illustrations to create an impression of total “Russophobia”. This is done to block critical discussion of the Russian government's actions by replacing it with accusations of racism or hatred towards the people.
