@anneapplebaum has been pointing this out for years. It's a VERY important element of Russia's information strategy. — PolitiTweet.org

...one has to either (a) confront a problem under international rules and norms (b) or simply lie about what happened. Putin's innovation is that he has realized that it matters not at all if the lie is credible or even plausible. As long as you say it, it works. — PolitiTweet.org

And it's a big through-line of a lot of aggressive Russian actions with respect to neighbors and other countries? Murdering dissidents with chemical weapons? Just deny it. Doesn't matter if everyone knows you're lying. Interfering in US elections? Fuck it. Just lie about. — PolitiTweet.org
