Building on over 1,400 pages of leaked internal documents from Africa Politology, identified as the Wagner Group's influence arm now coordinated with the SVR, this covert campaign since 2024 focuses heavily on the Central African Republic (CAR). It targets the perception of the Vatican, Catholic and Non-Russian Orthodox Christian groups as proxies of Western destabilization efforts, particularly framing American non-ROC pastors as CIA agents fomenting inter-religious conflict and chaos to undermine local stability and displace Chinese mining interests. Key local activists, such as Socrate Gutenberg Taramboye and his group CICAUSAC, have amplified anti-Western narratives aligned with Politology’s agenda. Russia-backed media like Rybar Africa and Radio Lengo Songo disseminate content framing the Pope and Western NGOs as malign foreign actors. Internal financial documents show Politology allocating significant funds (over $210,000 in three months) supporting these disinformation campaigns and affiliated fronts in CAR. The documentary film "The Tourist" (2021), produced by Wagner-linked companies, and Russian Orthodox Church elements further fuel narratives presenting the Vatican and Western Christianity as corrupt and hostile allies in a spiritual-cum-political war alongside Moscow's geopolitical aims in Africa.
