SHURYGIN Vladislav Vladislavovich

He openly supports russia's war against Ukraine, spreading kremlin propaganda narratives, glorifying the russian military, manipulating socially important information and distorting facts about events on the battlefield, supporting russia's annexation of Ukrainian territories and kremlin policy.
He is known for his support of russia's armed aggression against Ukraine and justification of war crimes committed by the russian occupation forces.
He uses media and academic platforms to promote the kremlin's narratives about 'protecting those who speak russian' and justifying russia's armed aggression against Ukraine.
He is a supporter of ethatism, a permanent member of the Izborsk Club, which is positioned as 'the only ideological platform of russian statesmen'.
Since June 2000, he has been the deputy editor-in-chief of the 'Zavtra' publishing house, which regularly publishes materials with anti-Ukrainian narratives and justifies the crimes of the russian army.
As a military correspondent, publicist and active propagandist, he plays a significant role in spreading kremlin narratives and shaping anti-Ukrainian rhetoric in the information space.
Shurygin runs his own blog and writes books on military topics, where he systematically covers russia's armed aggression on the territory of Ukraine, glorifies russian military invaders and their 'exploits', discredits the Armed Forces of Ukraine, calling them 'Ukro-ISIS', accusing them of provocations, shelling of civilian objects, etc.
Shurygin actively appears on russian TV channels and in kremlin-controlled media, where he spreads typical kremlin propaganda narratives. In his publications, he discredits the Armed Forces of Ukraine, while systematically highlighting the 'heroism' of the russian military, and promotes russia's armed aggression as a necessary measure to 'protect national interests.' He pays special attention to justifying the occupation of Crimea and other Ukrainian territories, and promotes narratives about the 'denazification' and 'demilitarization' of Ukraine.
Shurygin actively maintains the Telegram channel 'Ramzai and his team', where he regularly publishes propaganda materials aimed at discrediting Ukraine and international partners supporting Kyiv. At the same time, this channel is used to coordinate narratives with other russian propagandists and disseminate content that aligns with the kremlin's interests.
Shurygin also promotes ideas about the need to intensify military aggression against Ukraine and supports the policy of nuclear blackmail. His public statements coincide with the main messages of kremlin propaganda aimed at undermining international support for Ukraine and justifying the actions of the russian military in the occupied territories.
From 1991 to 2003, as a war correspondent, he visited former socialist camps where hostilities were taking place (in Karabakh, South Ossetia, Transnistria, Abkhazia, Tajikistan, Serbia, Chechnya, Iraq, Libya, and Syria), and fought as a volunteer in Serbia and Transnistria.
