Answering Russia's Strategic Narratives was a one day event on 22 June 2017 organised by The Hague Centre for Strategic Studies, which described it as a "conference", although it was by invitation only. Reports from the HCSS from after the meeting revealed Stopfake and the East StratCom Task Force granted their database (of files on media sources, individuals and their role in reporting Russian news or interests of Russian media) to the HCSS for an "offensive" to set-up sites and institutes that would "monitor Russian dinformation", seemingly explaining the reason Ida Eklund-Lindwall and Yehchen Fedchenko became part of the Dutch Cluster of the IfS.[2]
Staff
Gaby van den Berg was reportedly "Very interested in IFS", according to a document from the Integrity Initiative leak which reported "Maria to follow up: meet-up end of July. Will invite her into Dutch cluster and first cluster meeting in September 2018 (although she lives in London)."[3]
Exposure
The group was revealed by the first Integrity Initiative Leak.[1]
Memory hole
Several activists and twitter users openly engaged in discussion with Dutch US correspondents and even Sijbren de Jong himself, only to be ignored or become the victim of "whataboutism" about William Barr, Muellergate or other Trump-distractions.[4][5]

Answering Russia's Strategic Narratives | “Russia’s disinformation campaigns have enabled the Kremlin to sow divisions in Europe’s societies. Countering these actions requires the development of effective, multi-layered strategies, tactics and capabilities. HCSS organizes a conference on 22 June 2017 to bring together and expand upon a network of stakeholders involved in countering Russian societal interference in European countries.
Through the exchange of governmental responses used at the military and foreign policy level, and the experiences of societal bottom-up initiatives and fact-checking collaborative initiatives, we can begin to build an increasingly coherent response to Russia’s strategic narratives. The explicit goal is to foster a self-sustaining network that can act as a dissemination point in countering Russian disinformation and other kinds of malign interference. Through the stimulation of debate, participants will produce a concise overview that will take stock of best practices and perspectives for action.” |
