Vatnik Soup[edit]
Vatnik Soup is a Twitter based series of threads of Russian disinformation actors that are compiled by Pekka Kallioniemi, a computer lecturer from Tampere Univerity. [1] The name comes from the projective word for a Russian vatnik
, which refers to the cold weather army clothes that Russian soldiers wear.
Since starting in 2022, Pekka has compiled over 200 threads of people and organisations, mainly useful idiots who have been distributing Russian disinformation, especially on the War in Ukraine on social media. Initially it was local Finnish fellow travellers including Johan Bäckman, [2] but now including people such Max Blumenthal and Viktor Orbán [3]. It is now seen as part of the NAFO counter-disinformation network against Russian disinformation.
