Instead of a dry, factual analysis of military-strategic threats, society was offered a primitive media-technological construct. Its main and only goal is to preventively block any internal criticism, legitimize managerial failures, and protect those involved in corruption or reputational investigations.<\/p>\n<p> The most effective way to protect an official from the consequences of his own actions is to declare the very fact of discussing these actions a &#8220;hostile special operation.&#8221; This is not a new method, but it has now reached hypertrophied proportions.<\/p>\n\t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" >\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/140-million-in-a-few-days-where-did-they-really-get-the-money-for-yermaks-bail\/\">140 million in a few days: where did they really get the money for Yermak&#8217;s bail?<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n<p> Intelligence officially adds the names of top officials (such as the detained ex-head of the OP Andriy Yermak) or toxic media figures (such as Yulia Mendel) to the list of &#8220;targets of Russian information attacks.&#8221; With this step, the state creates an unprecedented presumption of immunity. From now on, any independent journalistic investigation, anti-corruption audit, or even just citizens&#8217; indignation at the actions of these individuals is automatically labeled as &#8220;working for the enemy,&#8221; &#8220;rocking the boat,&#8221; or &#8220;playing along with the Kremlin.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> The essence of the manipulation: Public control, which is the key to the survival of a democratic state, is equated with state treason. A corrupt person or a person involved in criminal proceedings receives the status of a &#8220;victim of the Russian IPSO&#8221;, which exempts him from responsibility before his own people.<\/p>\n<p> In this ecosystem of circular responsibility, the role of publications like &#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/babel.ua\/news\/127133-rozvidka-poperedila-pro-pidgotovku-rf-novoji-dezinformaciynoji-kampaniji-proti-ukrajini-sered-planiv-rozduvati-skandali-dovkola-yermaka-i-mendel?fbclid=IwY2xjawR7lIJleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEeh6zD5HTNJHKFcrIyWqeK8vacGb5iK_6bTpcMUBnAiF9X_YYnObsagqn9tN8_aem_YWdncwDUrlRLdaqNgtZp5JtHLjKL&#038;brid=YWdncwGkARhw5rCucqD8f0I5sRO3\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Babel<\/a> &#8221; is much more dangerous and insidious than the role of the official telethon or state press services. In &#8220;Babel&#8221;, they position themselves as intellectual, liberal and equidistant media. That is why their cooperation in distributing the temniks of the President&#8217;s Office performs the function of information laundering. They legalize censorship, wrapping it in the wrapper of &#8220;objective news journalism.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> Also follow <strong>\u201cPryamim\u201d<\/strong> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Facebook<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/prm_ua\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">X<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/+rtV4dxYu2_cyNjVi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Telegram<\/a> , and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Instagram.<\/a><\/p>\n<p> <span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><em>\u2022 Materials published in the \u201cOPINIONS\u201d section reflect the opinion of the author of the publication, who bears full responsibility for the accuracy of the information.<\/em><\/span><br \/> <span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><em>\u2022 The editorial staff of prm.ua may not share the opinions expressed in the author&#8217;s material.<\/em><\/span><br \/> <span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><em>\u2022 The owner of the webpage in the \u201cOPINIONS\u201d section is the author of the publication.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: Author&#8217;s Facebook page War is an era when state institutions must work as a single, perfectly tuned mechanism for protecting national sovereignty.
