«…if you ask a traditional combinatorialists they would be happy to tell you they they like their area to be trend-resistant. They wouldn’t use these words, obviously, but rather say something about timeless, or beautiful art (…) If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, then you already know how I feel about such backward-looking views. When these win, the area becomes stale, isolated, and eventually ignored by both junior researchers and the “establishment” (…) Personally, I don’t see this happening in part due to the influence of Theoretical Computer Science (…)
Last year, in the middle of a technical complexity theoretic argument, I learned of a yet another very general direction which seem to have been overlooked. I will discuss it briefly in this blog post…»

Now safely in France with his spouse and three of his children, Kliuchnikov scrolls through Telegram to learn about the devastation happening in his home country. The War on Fakes channel has repeatedly attempted to push conspiracies that footage from Ukraine is somehow being falsified. One post on the channel from February 24 claimed without evidence that a widely viewed photo of a Ukrainian woman injured in an airstrike in the city of Chuhuiv was doctored and that the woman was seen in a different photo days later without injuries. The post, which has over 600,000 views, also baselessly claimed that the woman's blood was actually makeup or grape juice. Official government accounts have also spread fake fact checks. An official Twitter account for the Russia diplomatic mission in Geneva shared a fake debunking video claiming without evidence that "Western and Ukrainian media are creating thousands of fake news on Russia every day." The video, which has amassed almost 30,000 views, offered a "how-to" spot misinformation. During the operations, Sebi officials seized various records and documents, including 34 mobile phones, six laptops, four desktops, four tablets, two hard drive disks and one pen drive from the custody of these persons. The fake Zelenskiy account reached 20,000 followers on Telegram before it was shut down, a remedial action that experts say is all too rare.
