In the article you will learn about new facts and details related to the Kremlin’s information influence on Europe and Sakartvelo. The authors of the investigation reveal the activities of two individuals who actively promote Russian narratives in democratic countries. Find out how exactly these agents of influence try to shape public opinion and what threats this poses to national security.
Based on the investigation of the international intelligence community InformNapalm, the team of researchers decided to analyze the activities of individuals who contribute to the spread of Russian propaganda narratives in Europe and Sakartvelo. These agents of influence become tools of information warfare aimed at changing public sentiment in democratic countries.
It is known that the Kremlin pays significant attention to information operations, investing in the creation of a network of media representatives who spread favorable narratives. These actions are aimed at forming a passive attitude of citizens towards socio-political challenges, which ultimately leads to a decrease in activity in public life. Instead of supporting democratic principles, ideas such as “politics does not concern me”, “the main thing is to avoid conflicts”, “nothing depends on me” appear.
The consequence of such information processing is a gradual loss of civic position, which creates risks for national security. Information influence is not always obvious, but its systematic use has far-reaching consequences. This is especially true in countries where social issues sometimes outweigh strategic security concerns.
Therefore, identifying and countering agents of influence is an important component of protecting democratic values. Understanding this threat allows us to respond in a timely manner to the challenges of information warfare and maintain critical thinking in the modern media environment.

The influence of Russian propaganda on democratic societies remains one of the main tools of information warfare. The Kremlin actively uses agents of influence, such as Igor Damyanovich and Shota Aphaidze, to promote its narratives in Europe and Sakartvelo. Their activities are aimed at forming a passive attitude of citizens to political events and weakening democratic principles.
Identifying and publicly exposing such individuals is an important component of the struggle for information security and the protection of national interests. By analyzing the activities of these agents, it is possible to better understand the mechanisms of influence and develop effective countermeasure strategies. Citizen vigilance and a critical approach to information sources are the key to protecting democratic values from external interference.
