RUSI article on Armenia's 2026 parliamentary elections examines Kremlin interference efforts in the lead-up to the vote. Drawing on data shared by LetsData and uncovered by Vantage, the piece traces a network of nearly 1,000 posts that generated 4.6 million views from Kremlin-linked accounts in the two months before the election. The campaign was built around a single narrative: that Pashinyan's political survival depended on Western interference.

RUSI notes that Moscow's influence operation targeting Armenia began seven months earlier than comparable campaigns in Moldova, signaling a shift toward longer-term interference efforts designed to shape political outcomes well beyond election periods.
