Person:notes | Gasparian has consistently propagated narratives in line with the Kremlin’s propaganda. He has used logical fallacies to explain international affairs, denied Ukrainian sovereignty over Crimea, and defended Russia’s actions in the Kerch Strait when it captured a Ukrainian ship. He is therefore actively supporting actions or policies, which undermine or threaten the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine, as well as stability and security in Ukraine. Armen Gasparyan runs his own show “Nablyudenye” for Russian media outlet Sputnik and a radio show on “Vesti FM”. He also publishes books and audiobooks and acts as an expert in radio show “Polnyi kontakt” (“Full contact”) of another propagandist Vladimir Solovyov. On 6 April 2023, he was nominated as a member of the Civic Chamber of the Russian Federation. He continues to publish pro-Russian propaganda related to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and actively denies Ukraine’s sovereignty. | ch_seco_sanctions | ch-seco-52333 | ||||
