It is unknown who exactly is behind the author of the site. There are four documents related to the Russian Federation and the conflict in Ukraine. These are materials from a workshop held on February 19, 2015 at the NATO Center for Strategic Communications in Riga, a draft agreement for Ukrainian non-governmental organizations to receive a grant from the British government worth more than 240 thousand euros, as well as two plans for information and psychological operations (IPO) “Free Donbass" (in Ukrainian) and "Free Russia" ("SR"). In each of them, under a different sauce, the red thread running through the threat to Kyiv is “the high popularity of the Russian political leadership among the population of the south-eastern regions of the country” and the resulting task of “discrediting the political and military leadership of the Russian Federation.”

A Russian-language website called “Free Russia” has been operating for several months. Now it is blocked, but “if you wish, you can familiarize yourself with its contents and understand that it is basically an information dump to discredit the country’s leadership,” writes "NG".

The goals of Operation SR are defined as follows: “Spreading panic and defeatist sentiments among the enemy population (individual strata, regions and social strata) in order to reorient the attention of Russian state and non-governmental media structures to localize ideas and sentiments that undermine the foundations of the Russian state system.” The objectives of the project are also listed, related to “informational feeding of the ideas of separatism widespread in the national autonomies of the Russian Federation, dissemination of the idea of ​​a threat to Russia from Muslim radicalism, allegedly emanating from the territory of Crimea; discrediting the ruling elite of Russia with calls for active revolutionary actions..., undermining trust in the ruling regime by discrediting V. Putin’s proxies, etc.”

The SR project specifically highlights “priority targets for discrediting V. Putin.” These are Russian Defense Minister Army General Sergei Shoigu, FSB Director Alexander Bortnikov and Commander of the Internal Troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, Colonel General Viktor Zolotov. The project developers propose positioning them in the information and psychological operation as “war criminals, invaders of Crimea, reactionaries and stranglers of human rights defenders.” The subjects and regions of the Russian Federation are also specifically described where it is necessary to disseminate separatist ideas among the relevant organizations (Tatarstan, Bashkiria, Kuban, Western Siberia, Tuva, Yakutia, Kaliningrad, Dagestan and Chechnya).

The main executors of the SR project, according to the Dracula website, are the security forces of Ukraine. Namely: the Security Service, the Headquarters of the Anti-Terrorist Operation, the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian General Staff, the 74th IPO Center of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), as well as the 16th IPO Detachment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. And the interaction structures include the already mentioned NATO Center for Strategic Communications (Riga), the NATO Cyber ​​Center, the Special Operations Command and the 4th Pentagon Information Support Operations Group, the 77th Brigade and the 15th Psychological Operations Group of Great Britain.

Officers of the NATO Cyber ​​Center have created a forward point for waging information warfare against Russia in Mariupol, NG reports, citing some unnamed media outlets.
