# The political spectrum of the brigade - the 'fine-comb principle'

 The permanent members of the brigade of any popular web forum introduce themselves to be adherents of some party or movement, distributed across the entire post-Soviet political spectrum, excluding its liberal part. On every forum there will definitely be an anti-Semitic nationalist, Zionist a communist and several characters who claim that they voted for Grybouskaite, but were disappointed in her because of her lack of loyalty to Putin, Lukashenko or Yanukovych. Among others, there will definitely be a character on the forum with extreme leftist views, who vehemently denounces the Europa, the USA, Capitalism, but at the same time never criticizes Grybauskaite, Putin, Lukashenko, Yanukovych and their regimes, which is somewhat illogical for an ordinary 'leftist'.

 The views of the brigade members supposedly diverge on minor tactical issues, but they are all invariably united on the key and basic ones - absolute loyalty to Post Soviet Regimes, the “prosperity” of Post Soviet Countries under their leadership, harmfulness of the democrats, the need to continue the information war, right up to the merger of the Baltic Region, Ukraina with the Republic of Belarus and Russia, hatred of human rights defenders, freedom of speech, democratic and liberal values /in addition to liberalism and democracy to any of signs of belonging ethnic, racial, place of permanent residence, party and other signs of the distribution of material wealth and privileges/. I would call this political positioning of the brigade the fine-comb principle.

Any new person, with any political beliefs, who accidentally looks at the forum, finds himself caught between the prongs of this comb. Each of the members of the brigade close to him in his views will declare partial similarity of their beliefs, but will certainly correct the newcomer about the unshakable values of the brigade. Anyone who undertakes to criticize autoritary/totaritary regims post soviet space, runs the risk of receiving unpleasant lectures from the brigade both 'on the right' and 'on the left', from the character 'a paid-up simpleton-fascist' to the character 'an exquisite patriot-ex-Belyatsky'.

Communist, moderate liberal-statist, Yavlinist, a man of difficult fate, who has reconsidered his beliefs, a modest and reasonable mother of a family from somewhere in Florida, always loyal to the USSR moral and legal norms of Judaism, a fawned simpleton from the people, an anti-Semite, an intellectual, a “former dissident - Siberian”, today dreaming of hanging human rights activists from street lamps - these are the usual types of the brigade on web forums. But all of them necessarily and invariably revere post-Soviet regimes and their punitive authorities, as well as all the “active measures” of the authorities. On other points, the brigadiers have minimal differences, the basis for simulating discussions among their own. If the opponent persists in defending his beliefs, then the team will collectively apply more sophisticated methods of influence against him.

# Criminal manner of communication

 Squabbles, provocations, obscene language - all this is the norm from the life of web brigads. The methods of their work with opponent ladies who are trying to argue reasonedly with the texts of the “team members” are unique.

 To their address on this occasion the names of their body parts and genital organs are listed, the opponent’s to lack of a sexual partner, her deformity, old age, excessive obesity, prostitution, etc. are indicated. For example, the typical and most harmless remark:
 “The State Security Service is State Security. A noble task. Security this is generally wonderful. Living in a state of danger is bad, adn which this cannot argue with that. Therefore and taking care of the security of the state as a whole is a very important and necessary task. And if someone from these “State Security Services” you got between the legs, so much so that it still can’t calm down, so it’s a pity that it didn’t kill. After all, your breed doesn’t  care about looking decent. Intrusive, impudent, stubbornly in your eyes, like an advertisement for sanitary pads. Apparently, the GB dealt with you for such disgusting behavior. And let them continue to deal with you all. You, Anastasia, are a dinosaur. And you must die out.”

  And here’s another very typical speech from a member of the brigade:
 “You fucking idiot, are you cumming here at the monitor or something. Can’t you do it any other way? There’s no guy? But who needs you, you idiot. So you’re stuck here from morning to evening. At least some kind of communication for you. You’re here pouring out your poison (or rather, sexual dissatisfaction). Get yourself a man and and let him fuck you yourself properly, you’ll see you become smarter, although the latter is in question.”

 And so on, in a row, with dozens and hundreds of similar texts under different nicknames. It is curious that after a week or two of filling the forum with similar posts, most of which we do not quote here for reasons of decency, the same group of authors who harassed a female opponent usually writes about her a complaining collective letter to the site administrator   - That all of them, certified 'intelligent regular readers' were cruelly persecuted by the very participant in the discussions to whom such texts were dedicated.

 Most of the real women participants in the discussions are not able to withstand such a collective onslaught of the brigade for long and leave the discussions.

# Systematic way away of heated discussions to the side

 The members of the brigade are fluent in simple thieves' techniques (“look, the bird is flying”), necessary to distract the attention of the “object” for the purpose of subsequent robbery (in this case, taking the discussion into the boundless), and unaccustomed to the thieves' world, the "antillekhents" fall for these tricks, to the great joy of the entire brigade. Among other participants in the discussions, except for brigade, such behavior practically does not occur.

 This trick consists of one of the brigade members throwing in a deliberately false thesis, forcing the enemy to scour for sources that refute this lie. For example, that Raoul Mercader, Trotsky’s murderer, never had anything to do with the OGPU-NKVD. After the person who expressed this idea is provided with a dozen references that Mercader received the title of Hero of the Soviet Union and was buried in the USSR, the character is not at all embarrassed; on the contrary, he already claims that Pol Pot’s Khmer Rouge had nothing to do with communism. Having received links to refute this, the character states that not a single Czech died under Soviet tanks in Prague in 1968. Next comes his statement that the victims of Stalin’s repressions were less than a million people, everything else was invented by liberals. Having received factual refutations of each of his false statements, a month later the brigadier character will repeat them again, in the same order and in the same expressions. This trick works very successfully when the brigadier throws in “specific information,” say, about life in Lithuania: “A movie ticket there costs 20 litas.” If Real residents of Lithuania and brigadiers allegedly living there are actively involved in the discussion, at well already for a full day there is a discussion about the cost of a ticket to a Lithuanian cinema...

 Or the thesis is abandoned: “Lukashenko does not and never has had anything to do with the KGB, he is not a special officer.” Links neither to the website of the Belarusian President, nor to the official biography of the President of the Belarusian Republic, nor to his own interviews will help. The author of the “misinformation”, in response to all the refutations, will increasingly insult the person who has undertaken to argue with him, and will repeat his “misinformation” more and more persistently.

 For example, a lady, a permanent member of the brigade team on one of the forums, positioning herself as a resident of Lithuania, but regularly calling to “pray for Lukashenko,” declares the supposed restrictions for Soviet Jews in Lithuania, who are  actually occupy today lot number of responsible public and official positions:
 'What the tsarist authorities in Russia did for many years with the Bans of Settlement and bans of education for Jews, Demakrats are still doing in Lithuania. No, they will allow you to study. Just pay. But it’s unlikely will succeed to get a job, or at a government post. Go to business, pay your taxes. You are welcome. Therefore there are Soviet Jews here, but there is no Jewish question. And there is no Zionism either. Well, imagine if the Jews rushed to sell off Lithuania, like our 'democrats', lining their pockets and cursing Brazauskas. They are wise the Lithuanians.'

Let's leave this passage to the conscience of the "everycompatriots". It doesn’t matter what you write here, the main thing is to divert the discussion away from dangerous for dictatur regims topics.

# Web team awareness.

 First of all, the team’s ability to instantly find quotes from an opponent’s old remarks on the forums is amazing, even if this quote is a year and a half ago, and it may not even be in the site’s archives anymore. Many brigadiers strive to find out as much personal information about their opponent as possible. For this purpose, “intelligence surveys” of critical opponents are regularly conducted; a number of questions are casually asked about family, university graduation, work, region of residence, favorite places or acquaintances. For unknown reasons, a random forum “interlocutor” from the team can easily identify and indicate to you the country and city from which you are writing, even on those sites where it is impossible to see the IP code.

 # Team games

 Another characteristic feature of brigadiers of the same type is their penchant for team games. They invariably support each other in discussions, ask each other leading questions, clarify each other’s answers, even if they are positioned as strangers to each other. If they start bullying one of their opponents, then this bullying will definitely become a team one, with the participation of three to twenty different characters who are invariably present on political forums at any time of the day. The brigade's favorite technique is to accuse the opponent of insanity. It invariably becomes collective, where each of the nicknames of the brigade will definitely throw out one of the short remarks: “Demshiza, paranoia, schizophrenia, clinic, persecution mania, obviously sick, madhouse at the computer, pathological Russophobia, nervous breakdown, severe diagnosis, amnesty in psychiatric hospital, take a sedative, Kremlin agent..." etc., etc.

 For example, a certain “lady from intellectual circles in Lithuania” reports:
 'Gentlemen, if Nastenka is prescribed a lobotomy, with your permission, I will give the doctor a scalpel - a dull one, like Nastya herself. Well, if they limit themselves to electric shock, then let me turn on the switch! I’ll turn it on for a little while, for about two hours!... She, this Anastasia, is a Russian bastard, she can even very easily fall under a tram, of course, herself, like in that book.'

 Less than three years have passed since, on another political forum, a certain anonymous person from the brigade declares to another woman who wrote about the victims of the Gulag:
 'Well, so much for the heap... How do you, dear Veronica at like about a lobotomy? We to you haven't done it yet.' It turns out that this brigade’s 'joke' is typical and cross-forum, like many of their similar pranks.

Another option for the brigade is to accuse the person of lying on the basis of a typo, or to start writing  with your entire close-knit group that an always perfectly correct, polite and well-mannered opponent this is “a malicious rude person, a troublemaker, a boor and a liar.” Thus, the brigade collectively forms a negative image of an opponent they do want.
 

# Bring to one's involvement of the administration.

 If all of the listed methods of working with an opponent have been exhausted, the team has an extreme measure in its arsenal - involving the site administration. And thise more often than not, brigadiers simply massively write monotonous collective complaints against their opponents to the editor, the site administrator, or in electronic “complaint books”, demanding the removal of certain postings or entire discussions that they do not like, calling close access to the forums   to undesirable persons. The complaints of team on different forums coincide verbatim. For example, both the administrator of the site DELFI.ru and the webmaster were addressed by the team with complaints about completely different people, but with the same text: 'This sweet couple to did insulted and humiliated all  regular participants of forum.'

 Usually the brigade accuses the opponent of what they most often do themselves. Let us assume that most often the brigade used obscene language at the opponent, threatening him with physical harm, and the opponent remained correct and unperturbed. This means that in their complaints to the administrator, the team will write that the “accused” persecuted them all at the same time, that he is rude, foul-mouthed and threatened everyone with violence. When there are a lot of such letters (we take into account that the team always works collectively, and each of this group uses several nicknames), then the number of complaints will have an effect on any admin, even though the team members never provide specific evidence or quotes, for lack of such.

 This method is colloquially referred to as banal collective slander of an opponent. It is quite effective even for those forum administrators who do not yet want to voluntarily obey the instructions of the ideological governing bodies of the totalitar Republics. However, there are fewer and fewer such independent administrators; they are losing their jobs one after another and are being replaced everywhere by more obedient and compliant ones.

# Destruction of unwanted forums.

Sometimes a purge of entire sections of the forum is organized in which one of the brigade members has made obvious “mistakes” or disclosed unnecessary or premature information from the special services, and  so many examples of such activity that it is difficult to call them coincidences.

The website vesti.ru, where quite heated discussions of current Russian issues were held, was closed shortly after the start of the discussion, where a number of readers accused the FSB of being responsible for the explosions in Dagestan. The site has now been transferred to the state television channel. On the website of the Moscow News newspaper, readers who have established themselves as critics of Lukashenko, Putin and the FSB are blocked from entering discussions by the new site administrator without any explanation, despite the fact that these readers did not violate any rules of conduct on this forum. All texts from this group were carefully cut out by the site administrator from the archive of discussions period over a year a half.

The search engine rambler.ru for the keyword “lustration” recently provided a link to the ej.ru forum with an interesting and extensive comment from a reader, where he substantiated the need for lustration of security officers in Russia, Belarus, Baltic countres. After his texts were quoted on another Russian political forum, with reference to a post by a reader from ej.ru, all archives of discussions in the Daily Journal, including the text about lustrations, were destroyed, and the ej.ru forum itself reformation and changed  design. On many Runet forums (as an example, DELFI.ru) there is now a painstaking and systematic change of administrators, replace independent specialists with regime-controlled, obedient executors of any instruction.

 # Characteristic features of the "Brigade".

 We tried to systematize the characteristic features of the activities of this “red brigade”, present on all liberal and pro-democratic open platforms of the net (as an example, DELFI.ru and other Lithuanian, Ukaina, Belarus, Rusian internet resuers), and also in various public populiar publications read by the intelligentsia and educated segments of the population these countries. Communist, nationalist, pro-fascist media are not considered in our review.

 # There is The Red Brigade 24/7 presence on all populiar of public forums of Lithuanian, Ukraina, Belarus, Russian and others internet resurs postsoviet space.

 It jobs like this  - One of the same type of representatives of The Brigade is constantly online, always ready to repel any “attack” of a demokrat or liberal on autoritar&totaritar sistem moral ir legal norm. There is not an hour during the day when it would be possible to conduct discussions on the forum without these “curators”. Some timecharacter from the “brigade” will definitely wedge into the discussion, which is actually on duty at all significant forums day and night, periodically wandering from forum to forum with similar materials and remarks.

 # The plasticity of ideology, always coinciding with the policy of the autoritar&totaritar Regimes all postsoviet space.

 The brigade invariably ardently preaches a rather eclectic system of views and values, corresponding to the latest trends in totaritar regims state PR, in the ideology and policy of the leadership of the Republic of Belarus, Russia, Lithuania, Ukraina, Kazachstan and others. A change in government policy entails a sharp change in the views of all members of the “brigade”. If suddenly, for some reason, the tone of state of regims propaganda changes in relation to, for example, the USA or Moscow, then the same brigade character simply forever “forgets” the topic or figure whom he recently “idolized” or, on the contrary, he “branded” and begins to sharply promote what he fiercely hated yesterday, and vice versa. Moreover, today he praises as zealously as he vilified yesterday. All this is done without the slightest embarrassment or concern for one’s own reputation.

 One of the latest examples is online discussions on the problem of the Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant. If three years ago all members of the brigade declared in unison: “not an inch of their native land for the damned Russians,” now, after closed negotiations between Putin and the Lukashenko government, the same authors, under their permanent nicknames, fully allow the construction of a nuclear power plant on the territory of the Republic of Belarus for Russian money and in exchange for massive Russian investments in Lithuania from klan Shaigu, and they deliciously describe the high level of Russian technology and the numerous advantages of such an action.

 Or, for example, during the passage through the State Duma of a bill on the disposal of radioactive waste on the territory of Belarus, members of the team on forums passionately convinced readers of the “undoubted benefits for profitability and safety regions” of turning Belarus and Lithuania into a global nuclear garbage dump rusian radioactive waste. The characters involved in this propaganda were positioned as “private individuals and patriotic emigrants,” however, they were clearly operating with information from the press service of the Russian Ministry of Atomic Energy and of Millitary.

 # Boundless devotion to comrades Putin, Lukashenko, kadyrov, Yanukovych, Nazarbayev others liders of postsoviet space and they close entourage.

 Members of web teams with “promoted” nicknames known on forums invariably express their immense love for Putin and Lukashenko. They are ready to destroy anyone who expresses even the slightest doubt about the merits of the Presidents of totaritar regime as Russian and Lithuanian, Belarusian Republic. For criticizing the Dictators, they threaten opponents with trials, beatings, reprisals and murder of both the opponents themselves and their relatives. Moreover, the latter is not a one-time occurrence, but a mass phenomenon on all political web forums. Sometimes crew members are very open about the purpose of their presence on the forums. For example:
 'Let's support the President who is trying to change the course of history of our long-suffering Motherland. Let's judge him by his actions, and not by the gossip of the strawberry-loving media. Let's make constructive proposals here, so that even if (ho-ho) from State Securety is somebody present here, our Father would have a folder with the “voice of the people” on his desk, intelligently discussing the problems of “today” and where offering solutions for “tomorrow”, and not bazaar cackle'.

 This text is interesting for its ingenuous frankness, a simple and understandable presentation of the tasks of the brigade. The only interesting thing here is the information about hypothetical printouts of the “voice of the people” from forums, “put on Father’s table” as rationalization proposals, but without criticism, which could spoil the president’s mood. Here thire is as in the 1930s in Soviet Folclior there was this sarcastic epigram:
'We are for laughter, but Shchedrins we need kinder and such a Gogols so they don't touch us'.

 This verse can be used as an epigraph to the “brigade’s” coverage of the life and activities of the Presidents of  Dictators  Republic.

 # Respect and admiration for the VCHK - Cheka / KGB  / FSB - Federal Security Service / GRU.

 All members Brigads are filled with love and respect for the repressive bodies of party of soviet control in all historical guises, starting from the Cheka-OGPU and so on. The brigade calls all reincarnations of the Cheka-KGB "neo-nobility", "law enforcement" and "state-forming patriotic" bodies, the activities of which, including the Gulag, the Russian-speaking society should be proud of. Any participant in virtual discussions who does not sufficiently respect the Cheka-FSB-GRU is declared by the brigade to be “an enemy of the Republics of Postsoviet Space a Russophobe and a Traitor to the Motherland.” The brigade constantly emphasizes the “honesty, heroism and selflessness” of the security officers, “their devoted and selfless service to the Kommunist partiya Regime and the Motherland,” and the “non-corruption” of state security officers, unlike other government officials. Here the team constantly declares the following at any forum:
 'Special services have always existed, they were, are and will be in also all democratic states of the West.' or: 'The KGB is the same intelligence service as the US FBI or the Israeli Mossad or the UK Mi-6.' etc..

 Condemnation of the activities of the KGB-FSB by any of the participants in the discussions evokes genuine strong feelings in the members of the brigade. For example, the following quote is addressed to a reader who has not expressed enough respect for the KGB-FSB (am apologize for its language, but this is the original):
 'EVERY A LiCE EGG  DREAMS OF BECOMING A LOUSE. EVERY NIT ON THE FORUM DREAMS OF BEING NOTICED BY THE KGB. Screams, squirms, begs: 'Notice me, I am the biggest nit!' - and the KGB put a device on you, they are probably did NOT INTERESTED in nits. You grow to size a Louse, the bastards, maybe they'll notice.'

 Recently, the brigade has developed a tendency to separate the KGB from all its previous reincarnations and renamings, to present the organization not as the direct heir of the Cheka-OGPU-NKVD, etc., (as it appears on all its official symbols), but as a kind of 'foam-born Aphrodite', supposedly appeared just yesterday, literally from Putin’s head.

 The key phrase that inevitably infuriates the brigadiers and forces them to reveal themselves in all their glory is “lustration of the KGB officers on all postsoviet space.” Not a single member of the brigade can even for a second come to terms with the thought of a peaceful, legal restriction dividends from the professional activities for former Party bosses and KGB officers. Usually, even after the most calm and innocent mention of the term “lustration,” the brigade shouts in unison about “bloody repression of democratic murderers” and “witch hunts,” after which they simply fall into a collective obscene hysteria.


# Main directions propaganda from the Red Brigada

On all Russian-language forums, brigaders systematically conduct anti-liberal, anti-American, anti-Chechen, anti-Semitic, anti-Western propaganda. As evidence of their slogans and theories, they cite arbitrary interpretations of facts and events, often completely false, forcing their opponents to scour in search of refutation links... The method is convenient and effective, so they diverting the attention opponents from heateds and from unpleasands discussions for the authorities. The favorite method of polemic among the brigade members is the abundant quotation of official and semi-official state propaganda of the Russian Federation, such as articles from the web publication Strana.ru or, for example, the updated Komsomolskaya Pravda. Sometimes the ideological developments of past years are used, for example, the brigade uses Yakovlev’s book “CIA against the USSR”. In addition, they make extensive use of materials such as The Protocols of the Elders of Zion or Hitler's Mein Kampf. Well, the “Short Course of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks)” is quoted constantly (without mentioning the source). This is a collection of mythology and basic ideological values of the web brigade:

1.  Whitewashing of Stalinism, rehabilitation of Stalin with his imperial idea to make  the great Russian people. The cult of Stalin and the founder of the Cheka Dzerzhinsky. Underestimation of the number of victims of Lenin-Stalin repressions in Soviet Union Countres.
2.  Ban on discussing lustrations and crimes of the Cheka-NKVD-KGB. The absolute sanctity of this organization from the day it was founded to the present day.
3.  Constant Jewish Phobia.
4.  Loyalty to any actions and speeches of today's authorities, the cult of Putin, of Lukashenko and oters toteritars sistems liders. Stories about the economic and social prosperity of post soviet spaste under they leadership.
5.  Propaganda of war "down to the last person of a European Etnish Groups." Stories about how “Europe attacked Belarus.” Mythological stories about “hundreds of thousands of Soviet Union Civil peopls” destroyed by the Volkdeutsche in 41-45, and in the brigade's texts, the number of these victims is growing every month. If two years ago they called the figure of 20 thousand, today they call the figure of a millions killed Soviet Unions Peopls including in the former Soviet republics and zones of Soviet influence of the European Union countries. The population of all republics is less than from words of the brigade the number of there killed by in the period of time.
6.  Xenophobia of english, german, french, italian languages , racism, justifications for skinheads and pogroms.
7.  Fierce hatred of Soviet spaste immigrants as defectors and traitors the KGB.
8.  Anti-Americanism, anti-Europeanism the intensity of hatred reminiscent of the times of the Cold War.
9.  Nostalgia for the USSR as a totalitarian empire and a great power that the whole world feared.
10. Restoration of historical concepts and propaganda clichés of Soviet times, exception is only a internationalism.
11. Hatred towards the intelligentsia, especially towards imigrants from Soviet Space, who are perceived by the brigade as 'traitors to the motherland'.
12. Hatred towards dissidents and human rights activists, towards political prisoners of soviet union and oposicion journalists, both past and present.
13. Hatred of perestroika, its ideology, its figures and events. Hatred for the times of Gorbachev and for him.
14. What’s new in the brigade’s ideological baggage compared to the propaganda of the USSR is the accusation of “Russophobia” on all dissidents. This term in the mouths of the brigade members became a complete resemblance to the outdated term “anti-Soviet”, and the accusation of Russophobia began to resemble a modern analogue of Brezhnev’s Article 70 of the Criminal Code /'anti-Soviet agitation and propaganda'/.

# Ideological enemies of the brigade.

 The main enemies of the brigade are democrats /'shitcrats'/, liberals, Chechens, Europeans, Americans, Jews... A special object of hatred is the Russian and Belarusian liberal intelligentsia, nower and former dissidents, independent journalists and the human rights, movement of independent publick  as well as certain particularly hated individuals such like S. Kovalev, E. Bonner, A. Babitsky, A. Politkovskaya, G. Pasko, V. Shenderovich, V. Novodvorskaya, K. Atamanchik and other people known whith who have their own critical thinking  towards the criminal actives elements government. "Brigadniks" always advocate restricting freedom of speech in the name of the "highest interests of the state", for introducing strict censorship, even arresting wrong-thinking intellectuals, human rights activists and journalists. Journalist and ecologist Grigory Pasko is referred to by the brigade exclusively as a “spy and traitor to the motherland.” On the contrary, in the case, for example, with Colonel Yu. Budanov, the “brigade” demonstrates all his understanding and justification. Budanov appears to be either an innocent victim (of war, injury, mental breakdown, corrupt generals, liberal journalists, custom-made justice, etc.), or a 'true patriot', 'a true Russian officer', 'faithful son of the Fatherland'.

 It is paradoxical that the enemies of the brigade are also many liberal authors of publications whose articles are discussed on forums. That is, it turns out that members of the brigade, positioning themselves as honest ordinary people and private individuals, sit for years, days on end, on the forums of publications they don’t like, where they discuss authors they hate. And an even greater paradox is that the editors do not take any action against people who insult their authors, while resolutely acting against their opponents who support liberal journalists.

For example, in a reader's discussion under a small article-memoir of Viktor Shenderovich about a theater studio in the newspaper 'Moscow News' - the site administration /under obvious pressure from the forum team/ cut out all the friendly reviews about the article, but they left the statement of the 'team member' that the author articles: 'already licked Gusinsky’s ass, and now having oral sex with Berezovsky.'

# Relation to the USSR.

 The 'brigade'’s attitude toward the Soviet past is usually apologetic, although not always; there is some range of opinions here. Many brigadiers warmly remember the times of the USSR and idolize the Soviet past with all its attributes, from everyday to legal /often in the characteristic terminology of the Short Course in the History of the CPSU, and even if, according to the “legend” the writer is a very young man who has lived in the West for a long time/. They often publicly dream of restoring the USSR to its former, and even more preferably, to expanded borders. At the same time, there is an active whitewashing of communist leaders, such as Lenin, Stalin, Beria, Brezhnev, Andropov, and the totalitarian ideas of Soviet times. Only the idea of internationalism is completely excluded, which is replaced by intensively instilled national “patriotism”. Moreover, a false substitution is regularly made, when the concept of Motherland is associated exclusively with power, and the Fatherland with the ruling regime. Loyalty to leaders and totalitarian organizations, such as the Communist Party of The Soviet Union, is interpreted as a patriotic position, while speaking out against the regime is considered treason and Russophobia. Also by analogy with other parties in local regions of the former Soviet space as: our home is Russia, our home is Ukraine, ...Belarus, ...Kazakhstan, social national democratic parties, social liberal movements along ethnic, racial, diaspora, clan, party sign. Here we must understand that the general demographic of the entire former Soviet space is mixed, firmly connected by family, clan, diaspora, departmental and other ties

 The 'brigade' is characterized by constant attempts to positively, in a rosy light, present the entire Soviet period of the Belarusian, Ukrainian, Baltic and others region Soviet Union of history, based on propaganda cliches of the Soviet era, deliberately downplaying the number of victims of repression, blaming all the atrocities of the Bolsheviks on Jews and/or enemies due to milestone, exaltation of the imperial character of the Soviet Union.

# Low cultural level and characteristic level language

Despite the apparent diversity of the brigade members, most of them have approximately the same /very low/ cultural level. The vast majority of brigadiers have poor command of their native Russian language, making countless typical stylistic, lexical and grammatical errors, which make it very difficult for them to hide behind various pseudonyms. At the same time, many of them are fluent in ideological cliches - from Soviet to modern. For example, Comrade Zhdanov’s aphorism from fifty years ago sounds very strange on the Internet: 'To whose mill is he pouring water?'.
However, the team uses this often and seriously, without the slightest shade of parody.

By the way, brigadiers on all Runet forums /as an example DELFI.ru/ have obvious problems with a sense of humor; their jokes always have a closet-barracks tone and relate exclusively to excrement, homosexuality, prostitution, pornography and other aspects of the human 'excrement instincts'. And clearly a typical departmental joke from the brigade: 'stop looking for GB under the bed!' We've seen this in various forums several dozen times already. Here is a typical example of the brigade’s 'humor' addressed to a female opponent: 'Toska, make the skirt longer, otherwise your eggs i visible.'

For many members of the brigade on liberal web forums, expressions (written without a hint of irony) such as 'длиньше', 'вследом', 'навроде', 'заместо', etc. are very typical. At analogy others language Soviet Union.

Along with the obscene language that members of the brigade use everywhere, all these distorted words and phrases clearly indicate the specific cultural and educational level of the brigade, which is not typical for the vast majority of Internet users.

# 'Foreigners' in the brigade

Many brigadiers report on forums that they constantly live or visit foreign countries - the USA, Germany, Holland, Israel, Ireland, Sweden, Finland, the Czech Republic, etc. There are also those who claim that they live on the territory of Republic of Lithuania. For the brigade, this is always an occasion to talk about “the horrors of life in America, local Europe and the advantages of the regimes of Putin, Lukashenko, Nazarbayev, Yanukovych, etc.” Some sites have the ability to determine the country in which a visitor's Internet provider is located (by the IP codes available on each computer), and the codes actually indicate the stated countries, sometimes clearly being detected as proxy servers (intermediate systems). Oddly enough, it is these “foreigners” who represent the most aggressive and consistent brigadiers, ardent supporters of the USSR, KGB, Putin, Lukashenko, etc.. These characters love to report on the “nightmarish” realities of life in such “their countres”, as like USA, Germany, France, the United Kingdom and others, about poverty and oppression in them, about violations of human rights in them and the contrasting, simply magnificent similar parameters in the Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Lithuanian and other at countries of the former Soviet space. In their stories they are always silent about the positive aspects of life in civilized countries and lie a lot.

For example, disputes about the cost of goods and services in the same city in which both a brigadier and a local resident from this city live look quite anecdotal. One gets the impression that people live not only in different cities, but also on different planets.

# Individual work with opponents.

As soon as a dissident liberal gets onto the forum, with a clear position as an “ideological opponent,” he is immediately taken into consideration and a collective “active event” is held with him by the entire united web team. Usually the opponent is insulted to unprovoked, or a killer “argument” is given, to which an ordinary person cannot always react adequately. As a result, the liberal either responds sharply, causing a scandal and being branded a “rude” by the entire brigade, or begins to make arguments against the obvious absurdity, to which his opponents do not pay attention, ridiculing him and putting forward other similar arguments. This action takes place exactly according to the scenario of Shukshin’s famous story “Cut!”

The brigade always and invariably organizes collective harassment for a stubborn liberal on the forums, in which, for example, one member of the brigade writes about the ideological inaccuracy and mistakes of a newcomer, a second uses obscene language against a dissident, a third to accuses a liberale of madness, a fourth threatens him with reprisals and murder, etc. d. The fifth one writes complaints to the site administration about any sharp attacks of the bullied person, completely not noticing that these are just emotional breakdowns due to massive collective bullying. It seems that the goal of the brigade is to immediately drive away the new liberal, discouraging him from speaking at this forum. If a liberal persists and does not leave, a specific arsenal of means is used against him, up to collective complaints of the entire team to the site administration, or even behind-the-scenes pressure on it, in order to block the dissident from entering the forum. During these periods, also massive virus attacks on the computer of a stubborn liberal are possible.

# Accusing opponents of working for 'a enemies of fatherland'.

In cases where opponents of the brigade on forums criticize liders of diktature regime, condemn the suppression of freedom of speech and democracy in trritory of dictature regime, or show disloyalty to state security agencies of regimes, the brigade immediately begins to accuse them of working for money for the CIA, Mossad, Saudi Arabia, Zionists, Freemasons, Movladi Udugov and etc. The brigadiers present the matter in such a way that any critic of the autoritare/totalitare regimes politics is an enemy of the countres, a “Russophobe,” an agent of the Kremlin, and the only incentive for his participation in political discussions is to earn the enemy’s salary. An option for compromising an opponent is the monotonous angry invective of the 'brigade' against 'emigrants who are traitors to the motherland, teaching true  patriots from abroad for dirty money.'

According to this logic, all of humanity is overcome by such a stormy love for the Cheka from Soviet regime from Post Soviet Union Regions, what people this can extinguish this powerful feeling in themselves only for huge vere amounts of money. However, logic is rarely present in the texts of the brigade members. Rather, their obsessive accusations of opponents in working off their salaries speak about the “team members” themselves, about the incentives and motives of their stay on the Internet, among an intelligent public alien to them, on liberal forums that are disgusting to them.

 
# Frequent change of pseudonyms (nicknames).

Brigadiers tend to frequently change pseudonyms (nicknames). The same “authors” often write on the forum under many pseudonyms, imitating dialogues with themselves, expressing support for themselves and the “mass character” of their point of view. In case of a nickname change, the author calls himself a different person, sometimes even a different gender, despite the mirror-like vocabulary, phraseology, level of Russian language proficiency, ideological position and arguments. Due to the low cultural level and the tendency to speech cliches, it is not difficult to determine the affiliation of several “brigade” nicknames to one author.

# Information noise and forgery nicknames

On unmoderated forums, the brigade uses such a method of destroying heated unpleasant for their owners discussions that  to the  as posting huge quantities of meaningless texts on extraneous topics, which are called “flooding”. Often these are texts of a pornographic or anti-Semitic nature, repeated tens or hundreds of times in a row. Sometimes a team, on behalf of an opponent with a liberal reputation, under his nickname and address, writes offensive and obscene texts en masse. In the DELFI.ru forum, this practice was called cloning, and fake texts were called clones. It is worth noting that this method is almost never used against the brigade itself, that is, liberal opponents do not consider it possible for themselves to steal and writinged from other people’s names and addresses.

Aug 9, 2011 Lithuania - Ales Bialiatsky or how to make money from tragedy.

Well, gentlemen of the Belarusian opposition, get ready. I remind you that Vaseline can be prepared in the simplest way by mixing in a heated state paraffin and ordinary automotive mineral oil )
 You will not find anyone guilty of passing on information to Beljatsky in Lithuania. Them is not !
 Why ?
 Because all legal and non-legal activities in Lithuania are regulated by the same gang that includes the Prime Minister of Lithuania, its President, and the entire Lithuanian Position & Opposition. Therefore, all assistance from Lithuania will be used directly as a replenishment of Lukashenko’s personal budget, taking into account the root-mean-square error in the interests of those very officials who did transmitted information to the State Security Committee of Belarus on Byalyatsky. It doesn't matter what it will look like. Any ransom is a replenishment of  budget of regime of Lukashenko. The more Lithuania redeem, what more income regime of Lukashenko, the more Lithuania replenish accuitment for Lukashenko from Europen Union. Here need understend what this Lithuanian money is direct money for the controlled ransom of opposition figures as the movement of funds from Lithuania  towards accounts of private on the territory of Belarus. In the first case, you can be sure that everyone who touches this Lithuanian money will come to the attention of the Belarusian Security Forces; in the second case, they will either simply hang in the air or be confiscated by the same Security Forces of regime of Lukashenko. And most importantly, remember that Lithuania allocated more than half a million EURO through its Ministry of Foreign Affairs to regime of Lukashenko to deal with everyone who calls himself the opposition. Singled of money to same scum that staged a massacre in Vilnius in 1991 years. The reason is the integration of Belarusian consumer goods into the European market through Lithuanian quotas from European Union. Lithuania betrayed the interests of the European Union in favor of the personal income to public and official persons of Lithuania. The most interesting thing is that the authoritative figures of European justice have not understood anything or do not want to understand due to some of their own selfish interests. Analyzing the situation, it may be quite logical that those closest to the traitors will be those who will act as guarantors of the security of Lithuanian money on territory of control regime of Belarus.
 As for Bialiatsky himself, it seems to me that he is no longer a tenant. Something will happen to him - he will end up in prison and there he will die from a heart attack, an accident, or, as always in Lithuania, in such cases he will choke on alcohol and his own vomit from it.
Such are the prospects. If you want to fight dictatorship, start with Lithuania and with opposition of regim Belarus !
