Continue reading for more details. Recently, the Central Intelligence Agency has launched a new effort to capitalize on what the US intelligence officials believed that is an ‘unprecedented’ opportunity to convince Russians disaffected by the war in Ukraine and life in Russia to share their secrets, posting a slickly produced, cinematic recruitment video online on Monday. The push includes a new CIA channel on Telegram, the social media network that is a highly popular source of unfiltered news in Russia. The CIA first posted the video on Telegram, which ends with instructions on how to get in touch with the CIA anonymously and securely. The video is also being posted to its other social media platforms, including YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
CIA Recruitment Video
CIA officials involved in the project said that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has created a historic opening “to have Russians come to us and deliver information the United States needs.” It also comes after a previous recruitment drive following the launch of the invasion that the officials said has been successful, with “contact coming in.” One official said, that they hope Russians who work in sensitive fields with access to valuable information now hear. The official insisted the video is not correct and meant to be incendiary or fuel unrest among the broader population where Russian President Vladimir Putin often enjoys a high level of support but rather targets individuals who may be on the fence.
It does not mention Putin or even the war in Ukraine, in part because it would be “redundant,” but also because they argue it draws on “timeless” themes that have long convinced disaffected Russians to reach out to the CIA. What the spy agency believes Russians are going through – what they believe could convince Russians to become assets – is doubt, lack of purpose, and oppression. It appeals to their sense of patriotism and plays on Russian culture, quoting lines from Leo Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky.
The narrator says in Russian as a woman in her car uses her phone to contact the CIA before the agency’s logo and contact instructions appear. The emotional two-minute video shows different Russians going about their lives, appearing to contemplate major decisions. The theme of family runs throughout, showing a young girl in a hospital bed with a lady who appears to be her mother. The target audience is clear: a woman works at what appears to be a government computer and a man walks into a government building, and flashes his ID before sitting at a desk full of files.
A lot has happened in a year of war, the CIA officials said that nothing crackdown on opposition voices, independent journalism and the mobilization of hundreds of thousands of more Russian men sent to the front. Thank you for being a patient reader.
