#DisinfoReview: What didn't happen in 2017?
As the year comes to an end, one tends to look back over the past twelve months to try to sum up what has happened. But summing up the pro-Kremlin disinformation year is more about what didn't happen.
During the year we have witnessed plenty of spectacular claims from pro-Kremlin mouthpieces, such as the imminent
threat of civil war in Sweden
, that an American plane dropped a
nuclear bomb over Lithuania
, and that the
US aims to occupy Europe
. Among the things claimed just last week that didn't happen, we can find a clumsy
Ukrainian soldier who didn't blow himself up
(it was a video made for fun), the rape cases in Sweden that
rose by a thousand percent
(in fact a rise of 1,4% since 2015) and Pope John Paul II claiming that the
invasion of migrants has to stop
(he just didn't). Apart from this, we have also seen the usual recurring pro-Kremlin narratives repeated over and over again.
