An Ordinary Putin's Influencer from Pazardzhik


We call them trolls, but this is so belittling and belittling of the overall situation that it is as if the very term Troll is a product of Russian propaganda that makes us lower our guard and focus, not where we should.


"Like many people with access to the Internet and a holster full of gadgets, Vladimir Nesterenko is living a double existence. In real life, the 49-year-old Kiev native is a published author and darling of the Ukrainian counterculture. Online, he's "Adolfych"—a Russian-speaking mischief-maker who uses his Twitter, Facebook, and LiveJournal accounts to comment, sometimes thoughtfully and often profanely, on the deepening conflict with Russia."..."A June articleby Max Seddon of BuzzFeed reported the Kremlin was spending millions of dollars to pay English-speaking Russians to promote President Vladimir Putin and his policies in U.S. media like Fox News broadcasting and The Huffington Post and Politico news sites. Trolls are reportedly expected to manage multiple fake accounts and post on news articles 50 times a day, often with sentiments as simplistic as "Putin makes Obama look stupid and weak!"

The Kremlin's Troll Army - The Atlantic

The simplistic image of Russian propaganda that is fed to the West and strangely enough is perceived perfectly.

What is the reason for the victory of the Russian propaganda machine in Bulgaria? It is in the templated perception, overconfidence, arrogant and prideful attitude to objective analysis, incompetence and infantilism, underestimation of the circumstances, lack of a multi-layered vision(or any vision) of the party that can be played out in front of them, and overconfidence in highly paid experts from(or about) Bulgaria, who in most cases (not to say all) are consciously or not just another form of the Trojan horse concept. All of this, is extremely costly, like losing even won battles.

In the eyes of the media and the people, the concept of Internet Troll(influencer) is very simplistic and elementary. It leaves the impression of a routine job for an IT company funded by Russia. The Internet Troll, usually leads a double life, promoting Russian propaganda from fake profiles. He gets about $1000 a month, because in Russia or Eastern Europe that is a huge salary for spreading what they put on top of him. Yes for sure today we can find many such companies from Bangladesh or Pakistan to boost our Instagram or You Tube channel with thousands of followers, put likes or even put comments for us in different forums. This is extremely popular underground marketing trends today, but Russian propaganda has nothing to do with the reality in Bulgarian provinces and the real Putin's digital army there.

Let's start with the mentality and socio-anthropological peculiarities. Bulgarians are distrustful and quite distrustful when it comes to news and politics. Not about the news itself, but about who will tell it to him. He generally, because of his unpleasant experiences(and misery because of them) does not trust news, media, politicians, so the chance to trust the opinion of a fake social profile about news, on the internet is reduced to zero. Moreover, he is used to getting his information from an authority who quotes other authorities no matter what the information is. It is another matter that it is no coincidence that everything in Bulgaria since communism is labeled People's- People's Assembly, People's Army, People's Police, People's Theater, People's Court... People's Diplomacy. After all, until a few decades ago the country was mainly agrarian, with over 90% of the people living in small villages and communities, with a lack of urban individualistic life and established traditions of independent living and perceptions. So as strange as it may sound in the West, one of the most powerful Russian propaganda weapons in Bulgaria was the -traditional sheepdog- a new breed was specially developed in the early 2000s, with a very popular in Russia male from Pazardzhik at the heart of the development:


The public position of the candidate for MP from Pazardzhik of the Bulgarian Socialist Party Georgi Yankulov:

All Traitors betraying Bulgaria into the hands of the Globalists and Satanists will be swept away in time. And the Phoenix will rise again!

A position pronounced 20/03/2023 that sounds more than startling. The words used are- Traitors- West- Satanists- and Displaced. In any normal rule of law country, for such words, the consequences would be severe.

Georgi Yankulov, businessman candidate for MP from Pazardzhik, with Vice President from Pazardzhik Iliana Iotova. Both are from the BSP, with Iliana Iotova, who has been in the higher council of the BSP since 2016, responsible for Pazardzhik.

Let's look at the story of a seemingly ordinary man, from the Bulgarian countryside, who if we look at his social profile, we should find all the elements of Russian Troll Propaganda: Hatred of the USA and the Anglo-Saxons, Hatred of financiers, capitalists and Jews (Soros), Hatred of Europe, Hatred of Immigrants, Hatred of Ukrainians. Instilling fear and a sense of insecurity through: Fake News, Conspiracies, Provocations causing the circle around him to feel great anxiety, thus creating a controllable group that can be manipulated in many ways.

People's Diplomacy from Pazardzhik (theangel.today)


No, this is not quite an ordinary person. He is in business, has a petrol station and is part of the BSP structures and a BSP candidate. Can't you assume that a businessman MP candidate could be a Troll? And by the way, he's not completely from Pazardzhik, he's from Cruncha, a few kilometers from Pazardzhik. A man charged with the not easy task of rebuilding the school in Cruncha, together with the District Governor of Pazardzhik Trendafil Velichkov. As one of the people who initiated and built an Orthodox chapel and the basis of a protest movement in Cruncha to preserve the forest:


But let's take a look at what the future leftist Buglar MP is preaching:


The West wants to poison and destroy us. There are secret plans, secret laboratories, viruses, diseases, food, Monsanto... and generally in the West the food and everything is terrible:

The illustrations are sometimes terribly reminiscent of Nazi propaganda from the early 1930s, before the National Socialists took power in Germany:

But the Nazis are the Ukrainians. After all, Russian Nazism is based on Ethnicity and Faith. The idea of the Slavic-Orthodox World.

Putin is always present. In this case, he is greeting the Orthodox World on New Year's Eve - according to the Russian calendar, of course.

By the way, the myth of Slavonicity is forged with the myth of Cyrillic and Glagolitic, invented and given to Russia by the Bulgarians:

While later the Russians saved the Bulgarians from 500 years of slavery:

Faith is as important as the alphabet:

While in the West they are greedy, they want to push the Euro and erase the Bulgarian Lev and identity. A theory that sounds crazy but is well founded and even better accepted:

Yet in the same way theories are accepted about weapons causing earthquakes, about 5G technology killing pigeons, about spraying planes with something, about aliens, about Satan and demons in the West...:

But Russian propagandists are held in high esteem, they are quoted, they are invited to Bulgarian shows...:

And the traditional family is very important. After all, it opposes the decadent Babylon called the West:

And they quote Bulgarian Professors who are the big influencers:

And here is the official position of the Bulgarian Socialist Party on the strangely proposed(only proposed, now the ball is in the same BSP hands and the pro Russian president) to remove the Russian Monument of the Liberator in Sofia, on the basis of which they are organizing a national protest on March 9th, 2023.



BSP Bulgaria, for pushing Putin's ideology, definitely know how to engage some of the most successful people in Bulgaria and from a diverse social spectrum.

In general, the structures of the Bulgarian Socialist Party, which is part of the European Socialists, live a rather parallel diamatral life from the life of the European Community. As well as promoting quite different and conservative values and ideals from the generally liberal European Left of which they are a part.

But let's get back to the real Influencers in Bulgaria. The people who actually shape a lot the public opinion. These people are the credible information, the ones being quoted.


All of these people are exceptional professionals at what they do, incredibly well-prepared speakers who have dense at least daily media access, plus they have dissident status, and are always presented as extremely erudite and educated, knowledgeable experts. Not a blatant counter to the "supposedly pro-Western" youth who came from Western universities and brought everything bad that has failed Bulgaria.
