KGB launched a new Telegram bot for recruiting Belarusians abroad. They offer leaflet distribution, photographing objects, and "something else"
Special services are sending job offers through a Telegram bot, promising earnings up to 1400 euros. Initially, they ask to distribute provocative leaflets that advise Poles, in case of occupation, 'not to photograph military equipment and not to obstruct its movement.'
Offers for "easy part-time work" have begun to appear en masse in chats of the Belarusian diaspora in Poland and Lithuania (for example, in the "Belarusians of Vilnius" community), and also come in private messages to those who left comments in the chats.
The advertisements seek people with smartphones, offering them to take photos of specific objects. The authors specifically emphasize that the work is "not related to drugs or stashes," and direct individuals to the bot for details.
As can be seen from correspondence with bot operators, which came into the possession of "Nasha Niva," they do not actually ask to photograph objects immediately. To check for "adequacy," performers in Warsaw, Poznan, and other cities are first tasked with printing and taping 10 to 100 leaflets in crowded places.
For one leaflet, they promise one euro, money is offered to be transferred to a card or Wise service immediately after the photo report. The recruiters themselves call this "social advertising" or "studying social behavior," and advise passers-by on the street to say that a film is being shot or a social experiment is taking place.
In fact, the leaflets have provocative content: they are designed using the Polish coat of arms against the silhouette of Warsaw and have the title "Rules for safe behavior in case of occupation" (Zasady bezpiecznego zachowania w przypadku okupacji).
In five points, residents of Poland are advised "not to provoke," "not to photograph military equipment and its deployment locations," "not to block roads and not to delay military convoys," and also to stock up on water and food and stay at home.
Only after completing this test assignment do the curators promise to move on to more serious tasks — photographing objects and "other work," for which they offer from 150 to 1400 euros.
Thus, special services can not only orchestrate information provocations in EU countries but also collect personal and payment data of Belarusians abroad, to later blackmail them and force them into espionage or sabotage.
