At the end of January, 2016, the Reuters agency reported that NATO even plans to create a separate division to counter the Russian propaganda. The new unit, as noted, will act taking into account the tactics of the enemy, which he uses for aggressive influence on the target audience.\r\n\r\nThe Russian propaganda has long gone beyond the sphere of television and Internet, it is deeply rooted in the lives of the Europeans. A huge number of adepts of the 'Russian world' with the support of right-wing parties openly hold rallies and conventions, where they tell about the 'pernicious influence' of the United States and 'the Civil War and Fascism' in Ukraine using the Kremlin's phrases.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/piket-posolstvo-22.02.15.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-19688\"><img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-19688\" src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/piket-posolstvo-22.02.15.jpg\" alt=\"piket posolstvo 22.02.15\" width=\"620\" height=\"465\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nThus, a\u00a0meeting of the French non-governmental organization 'Novopole' is scheduled on\u00a0February 27, 2016.

He served there in the '1er r\u00e9giment de spahis'. The photos from Sergei's album confirm the information about his military career. Thanks to our friends from France, we also know that Sergei served in the 6th light armored brigade, to which the 1st cavalry foreign regiment is assigned.
