"In der russischen Sprache gibt es ein eigenes Wort fur diese Art von Lügen, bei denen sowohl der Sprecher als auch der Empfänger wissen, dass es sich um eine Lüge handelt, der Sprecher sie aber trotzdem weiter erzählt. Es heißt "vranyo" (враньё) und ist seit jeher ein fester Bestandteil des Instrumentariums sowohl der sowjetischen als auch der russischen Diplomatie, zusätzlich zur kriminellen Unterwelt, aus der es stammt."

Putin-Residenz: Was der fingierte Angriff über Russland aussagt

Russland hat einen vermeintlichen Angriff auf Putins Residenz vorgetäuscht - mehrere Punkte belegen die Lüge aus dem Kreml. Welche Ziele Moskau mit der Desinformation verfolgt.

ZDFheute

"#Putin Says ‘Deliberately’ Curbing #Economy Growth

The Russian president downplayed fears of #recession, calling #Russia’s slowing #GDP growth a “deliberate” move to fend off #inflation, as sources spoke of looming tax hikes"

Remember, the lies are endless, like strands of a spiderweb

They capture ignorant minds

And in the end, they capture the spider as well

Enjoy the #vranyo show

Laugh

It is a joke, funnier the more seriously they push the #disinfo

Russian word of the day:

#Vranyo

#враньё

1. You lie
2. You don't expect the lie to be believed
3. Indeed, everyone hearing you knows it's a lie
4. But everyone plays along with the lie
5. That is mandatory

#Russia: the wider world doesn't obey steps 4 and 5

“This gamble confirms #Copenhagen’s hostile militaristic course aimed at undermining efforts to resolve the crisis in #Ukraine through political and diplomatic means,” Zakharova said

🤣 🤣 🤣

Russia Rages as Denmark Hosts Ukrainian Missile Fuel Production for Flamingo Cruise Missile

Denmark's support for Ukraine includes hosting a defense firm manufacturing missile fuel, which Russia views as a provocation prolonging the ongoing war.

Now that it's clearly a thing in the US, we all need to learn a new word.

“Vranyo”, a Russian word (of course!) is when officials lie not to conceal truth or deflect from it, but to express power over…or contempt for...the listener as in "We went to Salisbury as tourists to see the Cathedral".

It’s Putin’s most cherished rhetorical hobby. And more and more prevalent in the US, from #Trump on down.

#vranyo hashtag away, Mastodoners!

@juliette The little shit is even more full of shit than the big shit. Because it’s not always sure if the big shit knows he’s shitting.

But consider this: The little shit knows some part of the audience knows he knows he’s shitting, but he does it anyway.

Like everything else the little shit does, this is a power-play. He’s telling you nobody can stop him from shitting. He’s telling you he is untouchable. He’s showing his hierachical status, he can lie and get away with it.

This is: #vranyo

@randahl But isn’t that so russian of him?

We all should be familiar with the Russian concept of ”Vranyo” by now?

You know that they know you’re lying, but you lie anyway.

In the hands of a dictator, that becomes an assertion power. ”I’m lying and I know it, but there’s nothing you can do about it!”

#vranyo

@mastomememakers Let’s just take a breath and remember how things work in Russia. Because now there are two Russias.

When you know that they know that you’re lying, but knowingly you still do it anyway to ”save your own” it’s called a ’Vranyo’

When this comes from a position of power it is not anymore simply lie but an assertion of power. You are lying and there’s nothing they can do to stop you.

#vranyo #russian #linguistics

Russian wives who miss their husbands are "foreign agents"

🤦

'In a unusually frank rebuff published on its Telegram channel, The Way Home, which campaigns for the demobilisation of men drafted to fight in #Ukraine, told #Russia’s Justice Ministry to “fuck off” and denied that it had ever “been funded by anyone”'

🤭

The culture of #vranyo supports state lies so everyone benefits, theoretically

But the lies now directly consume your base

A debt is coming due #Putin
