Narva People's Republic? New hybrid threat in Estonia - Break the Fake - TVP WORLD
A wave of social media posts promoting a so-called “Narva People’s Republic” has recently appeared online, raising concerns in Estonia. Anonymous accounts are spreading symbols, slogans and calls for autonomy in the Ida-Viru region, creating the appearance of a grassroots movement.
Estonian security services say the campaign shows clear signs of a coordinated information operation, echoing tactics seen before the events of 2014 in Ukraine.
Join Jonasz Rewiński in a new episode of Break The Fake to find out how hybrid operations begin online, why such narratives emerge, and what the situation in Narva could mean for regional security.
