Fascinating piece on Russian #disinformation#intelligence

The Lies Russia Tells Itself
The country’s propagandists target the West—but mislead the kremlin, too.
In that vein, I would pay serious money for a book on the Soviet AIDS propaganda effort and the horrific blowback it caused in Russia when the virus began spreading after the fall of the USSR.
