We’ll meet on Tuesday, July 7, 11 am Pacific; 2 pm Eastern; 7 pm UK.
“Small incidents reveal the bigger picture,” says Dietmar, who will share a case study of a pro-Russian network operating in Vienna. “Russia’s under pressure, which is why worldwide Kremlin mouthpieces are getting louder.”
Both guests will update us on their latest work, exposing global active measures.

New members: I began the Happy Hour three years ago, when I realized many community members were struggling with despair. When we come together, I know I’m not the only one who feels better.
Look forward to seeing many of you Tuesday. I do not paywall my work here, so your paid memberships are everything to me. Thank you as always for supporting my work.
