Brits caught a Russian spy! And it's a Russian journalist.

[Stratford57]

The British Army has issued a top-level security alert to all its bases across the UK, warning soldiers that they should by no means engage in any conversations with a certain Russian journalist, should one happen to approach near any military facility. The “official-sensitive” document obtained by the Daily Mail also advised members of the military to call the nearest police department “ASAP” to deal with such a “threat.”

Actually referred-to as a ‘spy’ in the British media, it was in fact the UK Bureau chief of Russian Channel 1 who had been making the report about the 77th Brigade base in November. Timur Siraziev and his cameraman were seen filming near the Berkshire facility where they had presented press credentials. Their access was denied, so they filmed their report outside and left.
A Russian? Must be a spy! UK military, media accuse Russian reporter of snooping

British military bases issue security alert after Russian TV crew accused of spying outside cyber warfare HQ

BTW, after a BBC journalist was reporting about the same object, nobody called him “a spy”, I wonder why?

The National:
So why is the MoD all in a tizzy about Siraziev’s piece? Because, for once, 77th Brigade has lost control of the “narrative” covering its existence. Hence the almost hysterical response designed to make it look as if the Russian journalists were “spying”. This is a bid to divert the story towards Russia and away from 77th Brigade itself.

For those who don't know who is 77th brigade: it's basically British anti-Russian propaganda machine.

Wired.co.uk, Nov,22
I was visiting a part of the British Army unlike any other. They call it the 77th Brigade. They are the troops fighting Britain’s information wars.

One room was focussed on understanding audiences: the makeup, demographics and habits of the people they wanted to reach. Another was more analytical, focussing on creating “attitude and sentiment awareness” from large sets of social media data. Another was full of officers producing video and audio content. Elsewhere, teams of intelligence specialists were closely analysing how messages were being received and discussing how to make them more resonant.

While disinformation campaigns waged by Russia and ISIS have become common stories, little is discussed or understood about comparable operations conducted every day by Western countries. Their targets ranged from Iran, North Korea, Russia, countries across Africa, and areas within the U.K.

Look at another great example of anti-Russian propaganda idiocy.

The Times, Nov 15:
A programme about a mischievous girl and a bear watched by millions of British children is accused of being a “soft propaganda” tool for the Kremlin. The English-languageMasha and the Bear has more than 4.18 million subscribers on YouTube and, in various languages, the animated series has gained 40 billion views across 13 channels.

Children enjoy watching the feisty little girl and her gentle giant protector. However, critics in Russia’s neighbouring states have claimed the series, from a Moscow studio, is part of the country’s propaganda machine. Professor Anthony Glees, of the University of Buckingham, an intelligence expert, said: “Masha is feisty, even rather nasty, but also plucky. She punches above her slight weight. It’s not far-fetched to see her as Putinesque.
Children’s show is propaganda for Putin, say critics

UK journalists have dug up a report from Finland’s Helsingin Sanomat paper, which was based on an interview with an Estonian professor who claimed that ‘Masha and the Bear’ was intended to create a positive image of Russia in children’s minds and was a danger to Estonian national security.
‘All out of anti-Russian stories?’ Times gets grilled for calling ‘Masha and the Bear’ propaganda

Meanwhile the original story seemed to be written not even by Russians.
Goldilocks and the Three Bears - Wikipedia

The story was first recorded in narrative form by British writer and poet Robert Southey, and first published anonymously as "The Story of the Three Bears" in 1837

------

The Soviet cartoon about Masha and the bears was created last century before or just after Putin was born.All Soviet kids (having NO idea who the heck Putin was) loved it and never could have even thought that in 60+ years Russia haters would find any kind of political propaganda in it. The only propaganda of this cartoon was how to behave and to be nice.

Meanwhile, “British critics” do NOT seem to be concerned about poor American (and British) kids who have to learn about 72 idiotic genders and are encouraged to become gays and to have transgenders surgeries when their immature minds are even unable to evaluate the consequences of such kind of “education”.
