DISINFORMATION CASE DETAILS

DISINFO: The Olympic movement drifts towards destructive, neoliberal, unnatural values

SUMMARY

It is now evident that the global sports and the Olympic movement are being turned not into an arena for fair competition, but a platform for geopolitical games, for imposing a destructive neoliberal agenda, promoting unnatural norms and pseudo-freedoms, and rejecting traditional values, which the vast majority of countries and peoples on the planet have adhered to for centuries and millennia.

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the 2024 Paris Olympics, claiming that Western countries are using sport to undermine traditional values.

This claim is consistent with the Kremlin’s broader narrative about the West's moral decay and the alleged aggressive promotion of liberal values as a part of a hybrid war against Russia.

Read similar disinformation cases claiming that During the Paris Olympics the flag was 666, that The 2024 Paris Olympics are a blatant insult to traditional values, that If Algerian boxer Imane Khelif is a woman then so is Thomas Bach, and that A homosexual cult prevails in Europe and dissent is forbidden.
