> The leaked files also cover Armenia, where Moscow maintained closer ties but faced challenges of its own. GRU officer Dmitri Avanesov oversaw intelligence-gathering operations on Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.
>A mole within the Armenian government, codenamed “Beard,” was identified as passing detailed information on Pashinyan’s activities directly to Moscow.
>The documents note a generational divide in Armenia. Older politicians tended to align with pro-Russian rhetoric, while younger Armenians displayed indifference.
>Kremlin strategists concluded that to preserve influence, it was necessary to fund “new faces” capable of appealing to younger demographics.
>One report read: “Pro-Russian narratives are mostly supported by politicians of retirement age. The younger generation is indifferent. Financing influential new faces is essential to increase impact.”
>Taken together, the disclosures depict a sharp decline in Russian influence across the South Caucasus, driven by policy failures, costly but ineffective campaigns, and diplomatic crises.
>Türkiye’s growing weight in Azerbaijan, coupled with Armenia’s cautious distancing from Moscow under Pashinyan, has left the Kremlin scrambling to retain relevance.
>Baku has continued to reject Moscow’s attempts at damage control, including compensation initiatives related to the AZAL crash.
>For Russia, the erosion of influence since the war in Ukraine in this strategically sensitive region signals more than a diplomatic setback.
>With Armenia-Azerbaijan peace efforts underway, the shift in balances reflects a new regional order where the U.S. got involved and Ankara has been able to enhance its influence with increasing effectiveness.
>The funds were intended to build networks capable of diluting Turkey’s sway, amplifying Russia’s presence, and creating new levers of political and social pressure inside the country.
>Yet, the initiative yielded no tangible results. Much of the money never reached its intended targets. Instead, Russian overseers and their Azerbaijani intermediaries in media and civil society reportedly diverted the funds through corruption schemes.
>The source suggested that even the Kremlin leadership was misled, with inflated reports masking the disappearance of resources.
Lmao, what is this? Corruption so far that other types of corruption struggles? That’s hilarious.
Anyway, putin learned a hard lesson we’ve been saying for 150 years. Never trust a Turk.
Guy put trust in aliyev and handed Artsakh, he didn’t get the results he was hoping for.
