Russian propagandist Sergey Mardan, more widely known as "Putin's media soldier," surprised the public with his recent remarks. He claimed that in 50 years, European cities will no longer be targets for Russian nuclear missiles because there will be nothing left of them. This statement comes amid heightened tension following the Ukrainian attack on the Kursk region.

Many pieces of information conveyed by Russian media and authorities are likely untrue. Such reports may be elements of an information war by the Russian Federation.

Russian propaganda plays a crucial role in shaping public opinion and manipulating events on the international stage. Through an extensive media network and strategic operations, the Kremlin effectively spreads disinformation and controls narratives worldwide.

One of the key figures spreading propaganda is Sergey Mardan. His main task is to create narratives that convince Russian society of the Kremlin’s actions' correctness.

In his programs, Mardan often repeats claims that Russia is a victim of the West and Ukraine, which helps strengthen pro-Russian attitudes within the country.

Despite acknowledging the Russians' problems during the war in Ukraine, Mardan recently asserted that, in several decades, Russia will endure while other Western countries will face significant issues.

Mardan stated that in 50 years, European cities would cease being targets for Russian nuclear missiles because there will be nothing left of them. He suggested that countries like Germany or France might transform into something similar to Riga today, describing it as a desert with no chance of rebirth. His words were quoted by Anton Herashchenko.

Mardan is often accused of "playing on emotions" and manipulating facts. In response to a recording from Maczuliszcze airport, where a drone flew over Russian planes, Mardan stated that "he couldn't watch this recording."

Change the video. It hurts me, to be honest - the propagandist said. This comment sparked considerable controversy, especially given the lack of empathy for the victims of the war in Ukraine.

One thing is certain: as "Putin's media soldier" Mardan plays a crucial role in disinformation and creating a pro-Russian narrative.
