What Russia does is nothing new; they're just applying abroad - simply, via the internet, and with the witting or unwitting help of useful idiots in target countries - what they did at home. "...what Surkov has done, is to import ideas from conceptual art into the very heart of politics." "His aim is to undermine peoples' perceptions of the world, so they never know what is really happening." "Surkov turned Russian politics into a bewildering, constantly changing piece of theater. He sponsored all kinds of groups, from neo-Nazi skinheads to liberal human rights groups. He even backed parties that were opposed to President Putin." "But the key thing was, that Surkov then let it be known that this was what he was doing, which meant that no one was sure what was real or fake." Sound familiar?
