Donbass Devushka

American vatnik.

• Pekka Kallioniemi, “In today’s #vatniksoup, I’ll introduce an American propagandist and podcaster, Donbass Devushka. She’s best-known for her fake Russian identity, for her pro-Russian podcast, and for spreading false, pro-Russian narratives on social media.”, April 15, 2023

• Food for thought- look at all these people she had on her podcast. None of them figured out they weren’t talking to a woman from Luhansk or a Russian woman. These are the people who want you to believe they know the truth about Ukraine and Russia.

• The only way I can imagine someone getting the phrase “Donbass Devushka” is by typing “Girl” into Google Translate and then leaving it as is. In Russian, it’s utter nonsense. Therefore, I always thought everyone knew that was an American account. Zero chance of anything else. (russian would be: девушка с Донбасса)
