Comment Fake News. Andrei Soldatov is a journalist. (Score 2, Informative) 74

I cannot find any mention of Andrei Soldatov as the father of Russian Internet using sources one year old

Andrei Soldatov is a prominent Russian investigative journalist and co-founder of the website Agentura.ru, which monitors the activities of Russian secret services. Together with Irina Borogan, Soldatov has authored several books on the Russian intelligence community, including "The New Nobility," "The Red Web," and "The Compatriots" [1][2][4]. His work often delves into the operations and internal dynamics of Russia's intelligence agencies, such as the Federal Security Service (FSB) and the Military Intelligence Directorate (GRU), providing insights into their roles in domestic repression and international operations [2].

Soldatov and Borogan's investigative journalism has frequently put them at odds with the Russian government. They have faced significant legal and financial repercussions, including being added to Russia's list of "foreign agents" and having their bank accounts frozen [1]. Despite these challenges, their work continues to shed light on the opaque world of Russian intelligence and its impact on both domestic and international affairs.
