In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’m going to talk about… Vatnik Soup (vatniksoup.com)! As some of you know, we also have a website where you can find every soup ever published. The site also has other useful resources, making it the most comprehensive resource on Russian disinformation & vatniks. 1/15

Over on X, Elon has flagged the website as malware, as he might not be very happy about the soups I wrote about him - so far, they have garnered over 60 million views on X/Twitter. The “freedom of speech” spokesperson doesn’t seem too keen on free speech, after all. 2/15

The heart and soul of the website is of course the soups page. There you can find all 360+ soups, which can be sorted chronologically, by popularity, etc. You can also search for soups by title (“Has this vatnik been souped yet?”) or even in the soup text: 3/15 vatniksoup.com

Most soups can also be listened to as audio and we also store them as PDF, just in case Elon one day decides to delete the whole series. Many of the threads can also be found here on Bluesky. 4/15

For those who are just getting into the topic of Russian propaganda and online disinformation, we have prepared a starter pack: 5/15 vatniksoup.com

If conversely you are researcher wanting to dive deeper, head over to the topics pages, for a hand-picked selection of categorized soups, articles, documentaries and books: 6/15 vatniksoup.com

All of our long-form videos, interviews and podcasts can also be found from the site: 7/15 vatniksoup.com

My op-eds on the Byline Times and Baltic Sentinel are also listed: 8/15 vatniksoup.com

Remember those famous “Russian red lines”? Well, we have archived all of their nuclear threats since 1999 (original list by @cuthbot.bsky.social ) and update it regularly so that you can find the latest threat to panic about: 9/15 vatniksoup.com

There’s also a long list of threads we have found interesting and useful throughout the years (feel free to produce and suggest your own “unofficial Vatnik Soups”!): 10/15 vatniksoup.com

We’ve also archived and organized the beautiful “Vatnik Baseball Cards” collection, crafted by @LavrovsFELLA . Many of those lovely vatniks have linked soups already: 11/15 vatniksoup.com

And for terminology, we have created a vatnik dictionary: 12/15 vatniksoup.com

Many soups and resources are also available in a dozen other languages (and we’re still looking for fellas who want to help with translations, proofreading, or even write exclusive local soups!), from the language menu: 13/15 vatniksoup.com

If you want to know more about yours truly, there’s a long list of interviews, podcasts, etc. in here: 14/15 vatniksoup.com

Of course, you can also order my book from the website: 15/15 vatniksoup.com
