Detektor can now reveal that a government agency in Republika Srpska is soon starting a media school with this Russian organization, which Western countries consider one of the most important tools of Putin’s propaganda, and the US is offering money to uncover individuals from that organization who are undermining the presidential elections there.

The agreement would create a school of journalism organized by Rybar, which was financed a few years ago by Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of the private Russian paramilitary Wagner. Rybar is now run by former Russian military officer Mikhail Zvinchuk. Journalist Irvin Pekmez, who himself tried to apply for one of Rybar’s courses, guides you through the story.
