He is one of the key representatives of russian information campaigns in Africa, closely linked to the activities of the wagner group and kremlin structures. His activities include spreading disinformation, propaganda and control of pro-russian media in the Central African Republic (CAR).
He is the head of the "russian house" in Bangui, which is formally engaged in cultural and educational activities, but in fact is a cover for the activities of the wagner group. He organizes disinformation campaigns through social networks, radio and print media.
He is also the founder of Lobaye Invest, a company engaged in diamond and gold mining in the CAR. Both structures serve as the financial basis for the wagner group's operations and also promote russian propaganda in the region.
He cooperates with the CAR authorities to legitimize the wagner group's activities, coordinates local media resources and spreads pro-russian narratives. His campaigns are aimed at discrediting international organizations such as the UN, the EU, and the US and shaping a positive image of russia in Africa.
In 2023, at a meeting with CAR President Faustin-Arcange Touadera, putin emphasized the importance of the russian house's activities in promoting russian interests in the region.
Under Sytyi's leadership, fake contests and initiatives are organized under the guise of cultural projects, but in fact promote pro-russian ideas. His activities are accompanied by accusations of war crimes, such as torture, extrajudicial executions, and forced displacement of the population, committed by wagner's group in the CAR.
