    RUS media's new conspiracy theory: fights in Marseilles orchestrated by Ukrainian Nazis and (wait for it) Mossad. Makes sense.

    Many Qs about Marseille violence but I'm remaining a bit sceptical about this Whitehall view

    Putin encouraged nationalists to attack+intimidate anti-govt protesters. Same hooligans at #EURO2016. https://twitter.com/openrussia_org/s...47644919963649

    Russian trolls and Russian twitter bot networks are now using the hashtag EURO2016 to spread their info war comments via the net as they know the hashtag is being followed by millions of users.....

    New info war term...hashtag trolling......

    Default Little Green Men need to stretch their sea legs

    Well it seems that the Russian Federation Olympic Team will not be at the Rio Olympics; taken from NYT:
    The decision by the International Olympic Committee effectively ended any hopes that the team, accused of widespread doping, can participate in the Games this summer.
