🤬Who anonymous Telegram channels are smearing: ranking for 4 months
💀We took 20 of the largest anonymous channels (from Trukha to Ukraine context, excluding TSN/UNIAN/named authors), 100 815 posts from 1 June to 23 September. Of these, 6 305 were smear pieces.
For each person we counted only posts where they are the object of discrediting; mentions in news and quotations were filtered out manually.
📊Overall top-5:
1. Fedorov - 72 (17 channels out of 20)
2. Shabunin - 62
3. Kryvonos - 56
4. Poroshenko - 56
5. Nikolov - 19
🕵️♂️The “SBU” network smeared anti-corruption activists and the opposition (Times, INSIDER, Ukraina Online, Real War, Ukraine Now, Ukraina):
1) Shabunin 42
2) Poroshenko 37
3) Kryvonos 27
4) Fedorov 18
5) Nikolov 16
🦉 And the “HUR” network is essentially the same, but with different targets (NOVYNA, 24/7, Ukr. Telegram, News: Ukraine, Insider AFU, Kyiv INFO, Fastest, Resident, UC):
1) Fedorov 36
2) Kryvonos 19
3) Shabunin 11
4) Poroshenko 10
5) Zheleznyak 5
What is visible:
- The two networks have different lists of enemies. Shabunin and Poroshenko are an SBU specialization (42 versus 11 and 37 versus 10). Fedorov is HUR-aligned (36 versus 18). Nikolov is only SBU-aligned (16 with 19).
🫡Kryvonos is the only truly shared target, and all his smear pieces were in September.
📲Fedorov is the only one who wasn’t taken off in any month: 8 → 16 → 14 → 34. September is the record month.
