In a recent New York Times piece about Russia’s growing media empire, Press Secretary Dmitri Peskov spoke about the massive dissemination of information online, and how Twitter has become a powerful agent of disruption. He singled out the influence of “this girl, from show business”: “Let’s imagine that one day she says, ‘My supporters—do this. This will be a signal that will be accepted by millions and millions of people. And she’s got no intelligence, no interior ministry, no defense ministry, no K.G.B.”

He continued: “The new reality creates a perfect opportunity for mass disturbances, or for initiating mass support or mass disapproval.”
