CI6 ASSESSMENT
Russian actors are likely to attempt to influence the upcoming Armenian elections through a combination of information operations, political mobilization, financial inducements, and covert influence activities.
Assessment indicates a high probability of coordinated disinformation campaigns aimed at shaping public opinion, undermining confidence in democratic institutions, and increasing political polarization.
There is also a credible possibility of efforts to mobilize pro-Russian networks and affiliated political actors to influence electoral outcomes. Reports and historical patterns suggest that financial incentives and patronage mechanisms may be employed to support preferred candidates or political groups.
Furthermore, there is an elevated risk of destabilization activities before or after the election period. These could include attempts to challenge the legitimacy of election results, provoke civil unrest, or create conditions favorable to a constitutional or extra-constitutional transfer of power.
Confidence Level: Moderate
This assessment is based on observed Russian influence operations in the post-Soviet region and should not be interpreted as evidence of confirmed ongoing activities.

The so-called Georgian propaganda and disinformation machine is actually Russian. Russia has been running Georgia for the last 14 years; everything else is simply a lie.
"Georgia has never possessed the resources or capacity to run a propaganda operation of this magnitude"
Russia has always been weak. It is impossible for a country run by mafioso-style elites to be truly strong. It may appear strong to the gullible, but in reality it is a police state that is only powerful against individual citizens. Corruption in every sector—that is what Russia is.
A country's flag represents the government in power at that time, along with its attitudes and politics—politics that can destroy people's lives. If you are an honorable athlete, you should distance yourself from it. If you support it and carry a flag that symbolizes such a regime, then yes, you should be held accountable, because you are no different from those who kill children. 🔥
