Summary

Doppelganger and Overload describe the deceptive strategies used by Russian information manipulation campaigns aimed at shaping European public opinion. These techniques often exploit emotional vulnerabilities and cultural stereotypes rather than providing clear evidence or data, leading to significant distrust and polarization within societies. The specific tactics utilized include using obscure terms like "Storm-1516," which serves as a coded reference to obscure Russian political rhetoric, and employing "Undercut Lost in translation" to manipulate language norms and political narratives in Russian propaganda. Such efforts function as a sophisticated form of propaganda that infiltrates policy debates and voter behavior. Organizations like the European Institute of Communication, alongside the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, are actively engaging with these adversaries to identify and dismantle these operations.
