Norwegische „alternative“ Medienseiten stellten fest, dass sie Kreml-Narrative verstärkten und im Informationsraum Russlands hybride Bemühungen gegen die Ukraine und die EU hervorhoben. Steigan.no und Derimot.no verbreiten systematisch russische Propaganda über die Ukraine an über 200.000 monatliche Leser.

In Norway’s media landscape, pro-Russian propaganda doesn’t arrive with obvious Kremlin branding. Instead, it appears as commentary, long-form analysis, and confident headlines suggesting mainstream media is hiding the truth. Steigan.no and Derimot.no have emerged as key distribution nodes for narratives that closely mirror Russia’s official messaging on Ukraine, NATO, and Western policy. New research reveals that these platforms function as sophisticated distribution channels for Kremlin-aligned narratives, using Norwegian language and anti-establishment framing to legitimize Russian state messaging about the war in Ukraine. Content analysis reveals a consistent pattern: Ukraine is portrayed as illegitimate, the EU and NATO are cast as the real aggressors, and Russian atrocities are either denied or attributed to Ukrainian forces. The sites operate as a repeatable disinformation pipeline—pick a Kremlin narrative, wrap it in Norwegian anti-elite language, cite Russian state sources as facts, and attach an emotional hook designed for sharing.

It’s conspiracy fringe sites, specializing in content of racist, anti-vaxx, climate change denial, nature.

Only resonates with borderline psychotic religious freaks and hashish-smoking welfare recipients.

I’d like to see them shut down, but they don’t have any significant traction among the general population, in fact, they’re marginal and mostly shunned.
