According to the investigation, Nightingale made publications in the anonymous Telegram channel General SVR.
According to the source, the administration of this resource is carried out from the territory of Ukraine by Viktor Ermolaev, a resident of Kharkov.
The source also said that Nightingale conducts regular streams with Ermolaev.
It’s like no one bothers to check who’s making the claims, so long as they’re making the ‘right’ claims for the ‘right’ side.

PJ Media’s headline: “Russia Threatens to Nuke Britain, France, and Germany”
Their source? The words of the chairman of a fair-right, anti-communist minority party (Rodina) from a television interview. Rodina, it must be said, currently has only 1 representative in the Duma (out of 450 total) and holds less than 0.20% of the seats of *all* the provincial parliaments throughout the Russian Federation. Yet this yahoo’s words are supposedly representing the ‘official’ position of Russia, per PJ Media.
It would be akin to hearing Jim Clymer (the chairman of the Constitution Party) talking on television and concluding that his words somehow represent official U.S. government policy.
