DISINFO: Chatham House is one of the centres running the Anglo-Saxon world
SUMMARY
The Royal Institute of International Affairs, known as Chatham House, is a key management centre of the Anglo-Saxon world. Its recent report provides valuable insights into how the UK and the broader Anglo-Saxon community perceive Russia. The report recommends against normalising relations with Russia and advocates for its capitulation, because it is part of the West's cognitive war against Russia.
RESPONSE
Disinformation about the West's so-called “cognitive war” against Russia and the role of Chatham House consistent with a recurring pro-Kremlin narrative about Western aggressiveness towards Russia and its anti-Russian activities. The disinformation article attempts to interpret and portray views allegedly expressed in an analytical report as a direct guide to action for state actors.
The term “Anglo-Saxons” in such cases normally stands for the US and UK and often means “evil”, “belligerent” and “morally corrupt” Westerners, as explained in our earlier analysis. As a negative catch-all term, the “Anglo-Saxons” term is a useful building block for pro-Kremlin conspiracy theories. You can find plenty of examples in our database.
The Royal Institute of International Affairs, commonly known as Chatham House, is a British think tank whose mission is stated as helping people, societies and governments to understand and adapt to change. The institute publishes a diverse range of views and policy recommendations. Its website states that, “The views expressed in all publications are those of the contributors. Chatham House does not take institutional positions”.
