However, a deeper investigation into this project, its owner and curator, as well as its monetization schemes, has led to a number of unexpected and telling discoveries. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>What is the \u201cUzel Svyazi\u201d channel?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Telegram channel \u201cUzel Svyazi\u201d was launched in sync with the start of the full-scale aggression \u2014 on February 24, 2022. From the very first hours of the invasion, it served as its information support. This fact already says a lot. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At first, the channel didn\u2019t particularly hide its nature. Its description was straightforward: \u201cOnline media on army topics. The louder you shout, the farther it\u2019s heard.\u201d Contact for communication \u2014 @tlgconnect. The publications followed the classic first-days script: \u201call tasks completed,\u201d \u201cUkraine\u2019s infrastructure destroyed,\u201d upbeat reports and footage of strikes on peaceful cities. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over time, the audience began to tire of the overt officialdom. The project then carried out a rebranding. The contact was removed and replaced with a bot. And at the end of 2025, the channel completely changed its legend: \u201cMy name is Mikhail Medvedev. I once served, now I write and communicate with people at the front, in the army and in politics. No officialdom, no pathos. I write it as I see it.\u201d <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rgg-container\" data-rgg-id=\"1\">    <div class=\"rgg-imagegrid captions-title captions-effect-none \" data-rgg-id=\"1\">\n                    <a data-rel=\"iLightbox[postimages]\" data-title=\"history uzel svyazi\" data-caption=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/evocation.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/\u041f\u0443\u0431\u043b\u0438\u043a\u0430\u0446\u0438\u04381-1-1024x959.png\" data-rel=\"rgg\" rel=\"rgg\" title=\"\" class=\"rgg-disabled size-medium rgg-img\" data-src=\"https:\/\/evocation.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/\u041f\u0443\u0431\u043b\u0438\u043a\u0430\u0446\u0438\u04381-1-300x281.png\" data-ratio=\"1.067615658363\" data-height=\"281\" data-width=\"300\" aria-label=\"uzel_sviazi\">\n                            <\/a>\n                    <a data-rel=\"iLightbox[postimages]\" data-title=\"history uzel svyazi\" data-caption=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/evocation.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/\u041e\u043f\u0438\u0441\u0430\u043d\u0438\u0435-2-768x1024.png\" data-rel=\"rgg\" rel=\"rgg\" title=\"\" class=\"rgg-disabled size-medium rgg-img\" data-src=\"https:\/\/evocation.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/\u041e\u043f\u0438\u0441\u0430\u043d\u0438\u0435-2-225x300.png\" data-ratio=\"0.75\" data-height=\"300\" data-width=\"225\" aria-label=\"uzel_sviazi1\">\n                            <\/a>\n            <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, Mikhail \u201csees\u201d things in remarkable synchronization with the main mouthpieces of the Russian Ministry of Defense, Kremlin Telegram channels, and the entire Z-network.

When direct Ministry of Defense reports began to provoke laughter even among Russians, they slipped in a \u201clive\u201d author with a convenient biography. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now the channel diligently delivers the standard set of Rashist propaganda: demonization of Ukrainians and the AFU, justification of the aggression as a \u201cforced measure,\u201d downplaying RF defeats, discrediting the West, and so on.

Only in the fifth year of the full-scale invasion has the focus of its struggle noticeably shifted inward \u2014 into its own state. Rusakov and those like him are no longer simply feeding their fellow citizens nonsense. They are also actively attacking anyone who dares to ask questions, complain, or seek justice. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And all this is happening with the money of the Russians themselves. In the form of salaries for DIMC employees, IW, and similar departments, paid for by taxpayers.
