SHAVLO Renat Igorevich/MEDVEDEV Georgy Anatolyevich

Is a russian propagandist and war correspondent known under the pseudonym "Georgy Medvedev" who systematically works to justify and promote russian aggression against Ukraine and creates reports and articles from the temporarily occupied territories, in which he calls Ukrainian lands "primordially russian" and russian aggression "liberation". He is an active participant in the information war against Ukraine, using his media activities to promote anti-Ukrainian narratives, justify russian aggression, and directly support the occupation forces.
His anti-Ukrainian activities began in 2014 in the Donetsk region with participation in pro-russian rallies. Shavlo's activities continued in propaganda media, including the Stakhanov-based newspaper Kazachiy Vestnik, Donetsk-based TV channel Pervyi Respublikanskiy, Donetsk-based media outlet ANNA-News, and the Crimean resource News Front.
In addition, Shavlo is the author of the Telegram channel "Medvedev's Notes". The fact that this channel is registered on the russian state platform Gosuslugi indicates that it is integrated into the state system of information dissemination. The channel is used to broadcast disinformation narratives and organize logistical support for units of the russian armed forces through public fundraising. The general content created by him is aimed at legitimizing the actions of the russian armed forces and discrediting Ukraine's sovereignty.
An important component of Shavlo's activities is writing propaganda books that justify the actions of russian troops on the territory of Ukraine, including "Mariupol. The Right to the Truth" (2022) and "On the Military Road: Horlivka, Yasynuvata, Shebekino" (2022). In these books, the author presents events exclusively from the russian perspective, legitimizing war crimes and the destruction of Ukrainian cities.
At the same time, Shavlo's activities are not limited to propaganda work. According to his public biographical data, he was directly involved in the activities of the illegal armed group Vostok Battalion of the so-called "DPR".
