Overview:

During the examined week, the narratives were similar to prior weeks, focusing on issues relating to the Green Deal and the European Parliament, the incompetence of the current government and lgbtq and gender issues. One of the videos highlighted the recent legislative changes in Bulgaria about lgbtq education in schools as an example to be followed, insisting that otherwise, children are harmed by the ideology oppressed by Western states and do not align with traditional values. Among the platforms examined, there is an overall increment in critical engagement across all platforms. TikTok remains the platform with the most engagement and the platform with the most engagement by Russian speakers.
