“Infowar” is a project that lets you fight propaganda safely on the most “pro-government” and vulnerable social network, VKontakte.

The anonymous bot, @vkinfowar_bot, does not reveal your identity: you don’t need to log in to VK to write comments. All your data stays safe, and you can share your opinion from Russia or from abroad.

What do you need to do?

1. Start @vkinfowar_bot;
2. Create your character or turn off game mode;
3. Use the /random command to get a post you can comment on;
4. Write your text and send it.

A creative campaign and anonymous protest action organized together with the project #ОЧНИСЬ! (“Wake up!”).
