rdf:langString Eva Bartlett

rdf:langString Eva Karene Bartlett is an American Canadian activist, commentator, and blogger who has propagated conspiracy theories in connection to the Syrian civil war, most notably the disproven allegation that the White Helmets stage rescues and "recycle" children in its videos. Bartlett describes herself as an "independent writer and rights activist." She writes commentary pieces for Russian state-controlled RT's website. Critics contend that her advocacy amounts to participation in a disinformation campaign aimed at lessening the responsibility of the Assad regime for the acts of indiscriminate killing during the war, and to promote pro-Kremlin content in relation to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. Her posts on social media have been tagged with the disclaimer that her writings "may be partially or wholly under the editorial control of the Russian government." Bartlett has been making videos and posts on social media from Ukraine during the Russian invasion, often collaborating with journalists from Russian state media. She has been frequently criticised for spreading Kremlin propaganda and misinformation.
