The report titled 'The Architecture of Repression: Russia’s Emerging System of Indoctrination, Digital Surveillance & Foreign Interference' maps the organizations, programs, and resources within the Russian Presidential Administration linked to indoctrination, digital surveillance, and population control within Russia. It also explores how these domestic repression mechanisms connect to information influence activities and interference abroad. The study draws on public sources, leaked documents, and employment history analyses to describe both the capabilities and limitations of this system, with implications discussed for Ukraine and European security. The research was funded by the Swedish Psychological Defence Agency and is part of the MPF Report Series authored by James Pamment, Barbara Kuza-Tarkowska, Darejan Tsurtsumia, and Serge Poliakoff.
