CHERNYSHOV Oleksandr Serhiyovych

He plays a central role in the work of the russian media project "InfoDefense", created on the initiative of russian military commander Yuri Podolyaka, which systematically disseminates pro-kremlin narratives in different languages through a network of Telegram channels, includes multilingual translation capabilities, and is an integral part of a wide network of pro-kremlin Telegram channels created to reinforce russian narratives on a global scale.
The content disseminated by the InfoDefense network under Chernyshev's direct supervision is characterized by distortion of events and disinformation about the war in Ukraine, active use of the hashtag #StopHatingrussians, and the formation of international public opinion convenient and favorable to the kremlin.
The proliferation of InfoDefense content on russian diplomatic social media pages indicates a systematic and coordinated information campaign and further emphasizes its role in supporting official russian state communication and influencing foreign efforts.
