In new commercial, Russian electronics chain uses AI to show Prigozhin parachuting from plane, but it’s not the Prigozhin you’re thinking of

Russian consumer electronics chain M.Video released an ad for its “White Friday” sale featuring music producer Iosif Prigozhin and his wife, singer Valeriya, who “invite shoppers to take flight aboard the ‘Discount Jet.’”

The #La_Compañía network, also known as #Lakhta, is coordinated by #Russian intelligence services and had ties to the #Wagner_Group and #Prigozhin. The network participated in disinformation operations across #Latin_America.

According to #Argentina’s Secretariat of Intelligence (#SIDE), Novikov was in the country under illegal immigration status, falsified the reasons for his entry, and posed a threat to national security.

#Russian #CoastGuard boat flying Wagner flag spotted near Estonia

#Estonia suggested that the display of a symbol of the mercenary group that rebelled against the Kremlin two years ago “confirms the fact that #Russia's ‘iron’ system is fracturing” as a result of the war in #Ukraine and Western pressure.

A short film

It's a slice of life in a fictitious #trollfarm modeled after #Russia's Internet Research Agency

Lots of sly little details

Like when the woman boss character mentions "The Chef" (#Prigozhin was a chef, and ran the IRA, but he was long dead by the time of the details in this film)

So, hubby just reminded me that things did NOT end well with #Prigozhin and the #WagnerGroup . Apparently, they complained about not getting enough weapons in their attacks against #Ukraine, and Putin had a plane containing most of them (including Prigozhin) taken down! Oooops!
