Interesting story; but as with all matters of this kind it is hard to know what is fact, what is fiction, what is disinformation/misinformation and what is propaganda.
Folks interested in spy-craft would love the classic Deception : The Invisible War Between the KGB and the CIA by Edward Jay Epstein. This book provides insight into how deception is at the root of all disinformation/misinformation/propaganda/etc. which can be extrapolated to what is happening today in the larger media industry - https://archive.org/details/Deception-TheInvisibleWarBetweenTheKGBAndTheCIA https://archive.org/details/Deception-TheInvisibleWarBetween...

- acdha 3y agoA little skepticism is healthy for an unfamiliar source but don’t let your cynicism turn into a blindfold. This is in keeping with decades of precedent and describes official actions by the Czech government which can be verified, and it’s unclear to me what benefit Russia would have from drawing attention to their sabotage operations so you might want to start with a working theory there.
