Sergey Shoigu, Russian Security Council Secretary, stated Aug. 27: “In order to weaken the unity of our people, information pressure is increasing, public consciousness is manipulated, negative social processes are stimulated, history is distorted, while spiritual and moral values are being leveled. This is how our enemies are trying to destabilize the society and the political situation across the Russian regions,” he stated.
TASS reported that Shoigu also said that information technologies are currently employed to incite radical manifestations, resort to calls for illegal protests and speeches, mass riots, terrorist acts, sabotage and other unlawful acts.
