In Armenia, political parties can’t legally engage in public campaign activity the day before an election.

This 24-hour period is known as the Day of Silence. 

It was just the opening Russia needed to ramp up its ongoing influence operation to delegitimize Armenia’s parliamentary elections.

During the Day of Silence, when no candidate or party could publicly respond, Russian accounts amplified a fabricated 2008 US Embassy cable claiming pro-EU Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan is an American intelligence asset.

That was just one of many tactics used to undermine the integrity of Armenia’s elections.

This post-election intelligence briefing from LetsData's Vantage platform documents the full arc of that effort: how the delegitimization architecture was built before the vote, how it activated the moment counting began, and why the highest-risk window is still open.
