In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll introduce Oleg Bessedin, a videoblogger and Russia’s favorite mouthpiece in Estonia. Through social media, online groups, and media networks, Bessedin has played an active role in pushing pro-Kremlin narratives to divide Estonian society.

Oleg is a content creator and businessman with strong ties to pro-Kremlin networks. He runs multiple Facebook groups and media platforms that regularly share Russian state propaganda. Estonia’s Internal Security Service (KAPO) has flagged his platforms as disinfo hubs.

Bessedin presents himself as an independent journalist, but his content is heavily biased in favor of Russian narratives. He portrays Estonia and the West as corrupt, aggressive, and anti-Russian while defending Russia’s actions on the world stage.

His career dates back to the 90s, involving ties with Russian oil companies and Kremlin-backed Estonian parties. Oleg later rebranded as an “independent” journalist to covertly push Russian propaganda in Estonia. KAPO saw through this and mentioned him in their yearbook.

Whenever the pro-Kremlin Estonian bloc arranges their provocative protests – usually with 10-20 paid attendees and no real media coverage – Oleg is a regular “reporter,” spinning the narrative of “Russophobia in the Baltics.”

Oleg has a strong social media presence (no doubt inflated by bots). His Facebook group “Tallinners,” written in Russian, spreads classic anti-Baltic narratives under the guise of “oppressed Russians in Estonia.” Then there’s his YouTube channel: pure Kremlin propaganda.

His YouTube videos are filled with fearmongering & disinformation, perfectly aligning with the Kremlin’s viewpoint. Some of his loudest headlines include: “Oreshnik in action,” “For the Baltics, occupation will be a gift of fate,” & “How the Baltics are becoming Ukraine.”

@vatniksoup.bsky.social, please do Bulgarian politician Kostadin Kostadinov and our proud Ruzzian resident Rumen Radev!

We have more, but these two steal the crown every time and one of them is in the paiament, the other is (sadly) a president!

Don’t you miss the days when fascists were afraid? When they didn’t go around spouting propaganda and what victims they are? It’s ok to say it - fascism is wrong and has no place in a healthy democratic society! Make fascists afraid again 🤩
