豆知識

Active Measures is a 2018 documentary film by director Jack Bryan. The documentary centered on Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election, and looks at the many suspicious links between Trump associates and Russian officials. Additional topics covered included the life of Vladimir Putin, social media manipulation broadly, and the Cambridge Analytica scandal.

Background

The film suggests that Vladimir Putin is behind a 30-year history of covert political warfare. Soviet and Russian security services (Cheka, OGPU, NKVD, KGB, FSB) use the term "active measures" (Russian: активные мероприятия) for the actions of political warfare to influence the course of world events, in addition to collecting intelligence and producing "politically correct" assessment of it.

Director Jack Bryan is the son of Shelby Bryan. Born in New York City, he spent his early childhood at an Upper East Side, Park Avenue townhouse, but the majority of his childhood moving around the United States and Europe. Bryan attended Eugene Lang College within The New School as an undergraduate. Bryan was hired as a columnist for Quest, and became an Editor at Large.

Filming started 10 May 2017 and continued until September 2017.

On August 6, 2018, on CNN, Bryan said that Trump had sold five Trump Tower condos to a Russian mobster named David Bogatin in 1984. BBC Newsnight reported on Donald Trump's business links to the mob in March 2016.

On August 2, 2018, on MSNBC's Morning Joe, Bryan claimed that Trump resorted to Russian money, after bankruptcies at Trump properties in the 1990s made it hard to get loans from American banks. Trump's involvement with members of the Russian mob began in 2002.
