З останнього звіту чеського аналога СБУ (яке має назву Bezpečnostní informační služba, або BIS):

'In recent years, pro-Russian activists opposed the political order of the Czech Republic and its membership in the EU and NATO more intensively, more conceptually and more systematically. In their activities, they participate in promoting topics that are manufactured or supported by a foreign power. The significance of existing threats is often inflated and imaginary problems created. Incentives to conduct actions against allied interests are frequent as well. By using misleading, manipulative or false statements, pro-Russian activists influence public opinion and create and maintain fear and tension in the society. That contributes to society’s polarization and radicalization and it undermines public trust in the principles of free democratic state. [...]

Pro-Russian activists (whether wittingly or unwittingly) thus supported Russia’s influence operations and advocated Russian interests to the detriment of Czech interests. Large numbers of pro- Russian activists are motivated by ideological affinity, admiration of the President Putin’s regime or general adoration of Russia. There are, however, indications concerning certain individuals of their direct links to Russian state structures or of them being directed by Russian intelligence services.

The spectrum of pro-Russian activists consists of a wide range of entities with no regard to the right-left division and formal position. The spectrum encompasses members of various nationalist and populist movements, some political parties, registered associations, informal initiatives, groups and unorganized individuals, including groups and people that came from past anti-immigration movements. The spectrum also consists of media presenting themselves as independent or alternative, individuals, who strive for Ukraine’s territorial disintegration, and Cossack groups. All these groups were linked to one another. Thanks to their common fondness towards Russia, their representatives were able to cooperate regardless of their different ideological beliefs.

Pro-Russian activists influenced public opinion e.g. by spreading various conspiracy theories and pro-Russian propaganda.'

'Because of their significant anti-Western orientation, members of paramilitary groups also contributed to the spread of pro-Russian propaganda and related conspiracy narratives. After the topic of migration and the related danger posed by refugees had grown gradually quiet in the society, many members of paramilitary groups focused on creating the impression of a threat of an armed conflict between the West and Russia (even though they still often used the migration topic as well).'

'The radical communist part of the left-wing extremist scene is fragmented, its ideas are disparate and it faces long-term stagnation. Its representatives were aware of that and there were several (in the end unsuccessful) attempts to reverse this state and mobilize the scene in 2018. Some radical communists saw a closer cooperation across the "progressive" left-wing scene as a solution and considered the creation of a wider left-wing front. Individual entities did not hold larger events, but often cooperated on the organization of smaller events.'

(Сподобалося, як слово progressive взяли у лапки.)

Загалом, нового є 0, але можна потішитися, що чехи не щєлкают єблом. Хоча, звичайно, невідомо, чи прислуховується публіка до ~~СБУ~~ BIS чи навпаки--сміється над нею.
