Our Mission
Why This Resource Exists
The information environment surrounding Russian foreign and security policy is one of the most heavily contested spaces in modern geopolitics. Disinformation campaigns attributed to Russian state actors and their proxies have shaped electoral outcomes, obstructed criminal investigations, and complicated international responses to armed conflict.
Yet the documented evidence for these operations — spread across parliamentary inquiries, academic journals, OSINT investigations, and declassified intelligence assessments — remains fragmented and difficult to navigate.
RusInfoWarfare.com exists to change that.
This site functions as a structured, searchable reference repository: a single point of access for rigorous, neutrally presented analysis of specific, documented influence operations. We do not editorialise beyond the evidence. We do not pursue political agendas. Our commitment is to analytical clarity, source transparency, and methodological integrity.
Editorial Commitments
Evidence-first
Every analytical claim is attributed to a specific, verifiable source. Where evidence is contested, we present all credible positions.
Political neutrality
This site neither advances nor opposes any government’s policy position. Our subject matter concerns documented operational behaviour, not ideological characterisation.
Transparency
Our methodology for classifying and analysing campaigns is publicly stated and subject to ongoing revision.
Accessibility
Technical OSINT and intelligence analysis is presented in language accessible to a non-specialist reader, without sacrificing analytical rigour.
“The best defence against disinformation is a well-informed public with access to verified, systematically organised evidence.”
