This project is a philosophical and artistic study of the phenomenon of "phantom nodes" — invisible yet influential objects and subjects in the contemporary global system. The descriptions contained within this study are metaphorical and allegorical, aimed at uncovering systemic problems, regimes, and civilisational influences. They are not a journalistic investigation or legal accusations, but serve as an artistic interpretation of reality.
Names are included because they appear in open international sources.
This creation is protected and cannot be used by third parties for the purpose of supporting, propagating, or legitimizing criminal regimes, terrorist states, and organizations operating in the shadows. The use of data or analysis results from this project, whether in part or in full, is expressly prohibited if the objective is to support or conceal their criminal activity.
The project may be freely used by individuals and organizations that combat evil, corruption, and aggression.
Mode: Hybrid Expansion and State Terrorism
🕳️ Released Phantom Node 92: GRU & External Military Aggression
The intelligence-terror infrastructure of sovereignty destruction.
Who is this?
The GRU is not merely military intelligence but the central operator of Russia’s external aggression.
Here, the line between war and peace dissolves, as does the boundary between army and terrorism.
Assassinations, sabotage, coups, and occupation governance are standard methods of this node.
Type of node:
Military, intelligence-terrorist
Status:
Covert, extralegal, immune from accountability
Form of control:
Hybrid warfare, PMCs, sabotage, proxy regimes
Phantom image:
A puppet-master general moving soldiers across a world map
What remains after the phantom:
Ruined states, fear, occupation shadows
Core of the node:
What sustained it?
PMCs, sabotage units, global espionage systems, and denial of responsibility.
How did it become a phantom?
The GRU abandoned classical intelligence and became a faceless infrastructure of violence.
Why does the phantom still exist?
Hybrid ambiguity, denial, evidentiary complexity, and global fear of escalation.
Phantom’s condition:
Active, networked, exported
After the regime:
– International tribunals
– Dismantling PMCs
– Exposure of operations and networks
– Restoration of sovereignty
Collective reaction:
We see the hand pulling the strings.
We name that hand.
And we no longer accept terror as a “grey zone”.
Core principle:
When a state turns terror into method, it becomes a global threat.
Alt-text:
Graphite drawing of a faceless puppet-master general directing mercenaries and sabotage across a world map. His mechanical hands spread explosions and chaos. Symbol of GRU hybrid warfare and state terrorism.

🫧 Phantom Node Dossier 92: GRU and External Military Aggression. The "Hybrid Expansion and State Terrorism" Regime.
Key Aspects of the Phantom:
"The Shadow Hand of Expansion." The GRU (Main Intelligence Directorate) is not just an intelligence agency but a kinetic tool for dismantling sovereignty. The essence of this node is the blurring of lines between war and peace, official military and terrorist proxies. It is the hub for planning assassinations, sabotage, and coups as standard "diplomatic" tools.
Regimes:
⚔️ Proxy Dictatorship Regime: Controlling puppet regimes in occupied territories through PMCs and "military advisors."
💣 Exported Destabilization Regime: Organizing coups, riots, and political assassinations in countries pursuing democratic paths.
🏴☠️ Extrajudicial Violence Regime: Executing deniable operations (poisonings, warehouse explosions) under the "not us" (ikhtamnet) doctrine.
🛡️ Occupational Oversight Regime: Direct control over economic and social life in seized lands via military-civilian administrations.
Tools:
🦾 Private Military Companies (PMCs): Utilizing mercenaries (e.g., Wagner, Redut) for high-risk operations to avoid state accountability.
🧪 Sabotage Units (Unit 29155): Specialized groups dedicated to subversion and liquidations across Europe and beyond.
📡 Global SIGINT Systems: Using satellite and electronic intelligence to target critical infrastructure.
📂 Sleeper Cell Networks: Deeply embedded assets within foreign security and political frameworks.
Civilizational Influences:
📉 Erosion of Sovereignty: Treating borders as porous barriers that can be bypassed through hybrid warfare.
☣️ Normalization of State Terror: Legitimatizing the assassination of opponents abroad as a state policy.
🌍 Breakdown of Global Security: Creating a climate of perpetual threat where no nation is safe from covert interference.
🛑 Archaic "Right of Might": Returning international relations to the logic of secret conspiracies and raw force.
