These Measures are designed to alter population perception to create an artificial reality that benefits Russia. This includes influence at many levels through existing societal frameworks and by undermining the rules of international governance...
[Proposal of activities about purported Russian influence continues, to be staff by two experts and have a "proposed £100,00 [sic. presumably £100,000] budget".]

This document is a good illustration of projection by the II.
