Leaked Kremlin documents show coordinated Russian information warfare targeting Baltic states led by Aleksejs Žuravļovs, involving propaganda, subversive activities, and intelligence operatives since 2021.

Analysis of newly leaked documents from the Russian Presidential Administration reveals Kremlin-directed information warfare targeting the Baltic region, coordinated by Aleksejs Žuravļovs since 2021. Žuravļovs leads the Kremlin's Interregional and Cultural Relations Department, primarily staffed by intelligence operatives who interfere in neighboring countries' internal affairs. He oversees preparation of propaganda theses disseminated via Kremlin agents across the Baltics, Moldova, and Belarus. Multiple pro-Kremlin influence operations and propaganda efforts were noted, including support of Kremlin-aligned journalists in Latvia and cultivation of pro-Russian communities in Estonia. Activities include spreading disinformation, cultural subversion, and support to anti-Western activists and groups linked to Russian nationalist and paramilitary actors. The thread implicates coordinated efforts undermining Baltic sovereignty and freedom of speech using hybrid warfare tactics.
