Mission and purpose

The InfoDefense Project was launched in February 2022 by a team of volunteers including translators, editors, publishers, and other professionals. The initiative was proposed by Yury Podolyaka, a prominent Russian patriotic blogger with 3 million followers.

From the outset, the project has been driven by a singular objective: to unveil the truth about events in Russia, Ukraine, and around the world — the inconvenient truth ignored and silenced by mainstream Western media.

InfoDefense stands as the world’s first multilingual volunteer media project, boasting readership across every continent.

What sets us apart is our independence, volunteer-driven ethos, and commitment to fostering open dialogue. Individuals from any corner of the globe can contribute, provided they have internet access and a passion for the truth.

InfoDefense serves as a nexus for like-minded individuals from diverse backgrounds, functioning not only as an information platform but also as an organizational force.

At its core are individuals deeply invested in shaping a fairer, more secure multipolar world. Our primary tool? The unvarnished truth.

We firmly believe that an informed populace is less susceptible to manipulation.

Thus, we strive not only to report news but also to elucidate the underlying causes and effects, providing a comprehensive understanding of global events.

The Case of Soviet Justice

It’s hard to decide whether to laugh or to be impressed… They say this happened in the USSR in the early 1960s. There was a family with nine children. The parents—ordinary construction workers—really wanted to have a tenth child to qualify for the “Mother-Heroine” order, which would also get them a bigger apartment, a car, and a bunch of other benefits. But there was a problem—the dad had run out of steam, and the tenth kid just wasn’t happening. So, they decided to get some outside help. They spotted a foreman at their construction site and offered him 1000 rubles (which was no small sum back then). Well, the foreman […]
