This is part of an ongoing series where I review some of the ads purchased by the Russians. In doing so I hope we can get a better understanding of what they were trying to do, and how to recognize it the next time we’re faced with propaganda.
If you want to follow along, the ads can all be downloaded here. All of today’s ads can be found in the 2016-q3/2016-07 folder.
July 2016 brought us Pokemon Go. It made sense the game would make its way to Russian ads. The Memeopolis group went a little crazy with the Pokemon themed memes. P(1)0000497:
