UA Today, along with other trash like VOA and Vice write: A Russian newspaper has leaked what it's called a Kremlin policy document that details Russia's takeover of Ukraine. Novoya Gazeta has leaked the document, which it says was written by policy officials inside the Kremlin in the period between February 4 and 12 - just before the Euromaidan massacre and before the former president fled the country. The document lists Russia's takeover of Crimea, the need for a Russian PR campaign to win hearts and minds, and calls for a referendum in eastern Ukraine to give the appearance of legitimacy. Unlike much of Russian media which is controlled by the Kremlin, Novaya Gazeta has a reputation for being independent and critical of the Kremlin. Since 2001 six of its journalists from the newspaper have been murdered. Last year Novaya Gazeta was targeted by the Kremlin for publishing an expose on Russian soldiers fighting in Ukraine. UA Today Link: http://ift.tt/17VauIP Vice Link: http://ift.tt/1Eo67Tv VOA Link: http://ift.tt/1B5bXd7 Now the truth about this document, written by Gordon M. Hahn Senior Associate of CSIS: Sorry to report this, but regrettably its constitutes the facts. Americans please be wary of what you read from the US mainstream media and DC think tank community. The owner of the falsified data presented below is a frequent presenter on Ukraine and Russia at the Heritage Foundation and elsewhere. He is a former writer at Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and has taught in a university in Estonia. In a recent post published in Johnson's Russia List on February 20th, Paul Goble claimed that Russian newspaper Novaya gazeta editor Dmitrii Muratov discussed on the 'Osoboe mnenie' (Personal or Special Opinion) talk show on radio station Ekho Moskvy (Echo of Moscow) said a document in his possession "confirmed that 'the plan of war in Ukraine was developed in the administration of the president of Russia," that is, by Putin's entourage" (Paul Goble, "Putin Aide Linked to Maidan Killings," Window on Eurasia posted in Jounson's Russia List, No. 32, 20 February 2015, http://ift.tt/1AIVqIw ). Goble has falsified the facts. Nowhere in this interview or anywhere elese does Muratov say this. He in fact said: "This document, which purportedly was prepared by a group of people, in which, purportedly, participated the well-known oligarch, a man, who stole credit in VTB (VneshTorgBank or the Foreign Trade Bank), who is close to AFK 'Sistema' (a major Russian hiolding company), a person who is the creator of his own large foundation - I have in mind that Orthodox Christian, major oligarch Konstantin Malofeev... (interviewer interrupts) ... Someone from his circle, I think, that people (in his circle) have greater opportunity than he to go to the administration of the president, to the Kremlin, and they brought this scenario of possible events there" (http://ift.tt/1CMVQOM). So instead of a plan drafted in the Kremlin, as Goble falsely claims, the scenario was written by a private group. Some in the group, in the editor's opinion, had better access to the Kremlin than the groups's leader, the oligarch Malofeev, and, in Muratov's opinion, they were in a position or actually took this draft of scenarios and contingencies to the Kremlin. Even if the report was brought or sent to the Kremlin, it would have been one of tens of such reports, some of which would have been from much more powerful entities than a private group - the SVR, GRU, FSB, and MoD, just to mention a few. Goble further claims: "The 'document shows, Muratov said, that this plan was developed in the Kremlin between February 4 and February 15 of last year, that is, before Viktor Yanukovich fled from Kyiv'." Again Goble has falsified Muratov's claims: In fact, Muratov said nothing about the document being drafted 'in the Kremlin.' He said: "We can presuppose that this (the occurrence of the drafting) was in the period approximately from 4 to 15 February 2014, and there had still not been any overthrow of Yanukovich" (Russian: "
