Brave new world of Putin: An article by the propaganda publication RIA Novosti, which was to be published after the occupation of Ukraine An article by the propaganda publication RIA Novosti, which was to be published after the occupation of Ukraine, is preserved in the Web Archive. The Kremlin’s propaganda publication RIA-Novosti accidentally published an article that was to be published after the rapid occupation of Ukraine. It was quickly removed, but the Internet Archive web service managed to save it. It describes Putin’s imperial plans for the total Russification of Ukraine and Belarus and change of the world order. RIA Novosti is a Russian state-owned domestic news agency, known for its systematic support of the Kremlin, violation of journalistic standards and work according to so-called “temnik” (directives and agendas from the government). Although RIA deleted the article after publication, the author Petr Akopov was probably proud of his text, so the English translation was published on a marginal site The Frontier Post (English language daily newspaper founded in Peshawar, Pakistan). Petr Akopov was born in Moscow on October 7, 1968. Studied at the Moscow State Institute of History and Archives. He began to write in 1991, after the trip to the Russian-Georgian war in South Ossetia. He is adhering to right-wing, conservative-nationalist political views.
