May he have many more

Feliz cumpleaños Julián

Buon compleanno Julian, auguri!!

It is a rare thing when the United States, China, and Russia all agree on something—but they all agree they don't like WikiLeaks.

Happy birthday 🎂 to him

I remember browsing though the vault 7 files when they came out and I learned that the CIA thinks most antivirus software is a joke but they fucking hate it if their target runs comodo.

Can you provide a single example that demonstrates why Russia does not like Wikileaks? Sincere question.

One clear example is the 2010 release of US diplomatic cables by WikiLeaks. These cables included blunt US assessments describing Russia as a “virtual mafia state” with rampant corruption, where the government, organized crime, oligarchs, and security forces were deeply intertwined. They alleged high-level protection rackets, bribery, and that Vladimir Putin had amassed illicit wealth (with some claims he knew about operations like the Litvinenko poisoning in London)

Interesting. Those cables were "US assessments", not actual factual leaks. Basically a leak about America "thinks" about Russia. Interesting.

OK. Want another one? WikiLeaks’ “Spy Files Russia” (2017) exposed Russian surveillance practices. WikiLeaks published documents detailing how a St. Petersburg company (Peter-Service) assisted Russian state entities in mass surveillance of cellphone users as part of the SORM system. While some observers found the release relatively tame or possibly “fishy”/limited, it still highlighted domestic spying tools and partnerships between tech firms and intelligence agencies—topics the Kremlin prefers to keep opaque.

And how did the Kremlin react to that? I'm not trying to defend them here, just trying to substantiate the claim that "Russia doesn't like wikileaks".

Russia does not appear to support WikiLeaks in any consistent, principled, or ideological sense. Instead, its relationship with WikiLeaks has been largely opportunistic and self-interested, particularly when WikiLeaks disclosures aligned with Russian interests or damaged Western governments. While some evidence suggests Russia provided rhetorical support, media exposure, or other forms of encouragement during certain periods—especially between 2012 and 2017—this reflected tactical advantage rather than genuine commitment to transparency. The relationship was marked by mutual benefit and occasional cooperation, not deep alignment. Importantly, Russia's own record undermines the idea that it broadly supports WikiLeaks' mission. As an authoritarian state that routinely suppresses leaks, whistleblowers, independent media, and dissent, the Kremlin generally treats uncontrolled transparency as a threat, particularly when it could expose or embarrass the Russian government. Overall, any Russian support for WikiLeaks appears to have been selective, instrumental, and driven by political convenience rather than principle.

Happy Birthday Legend

Again non of this supports the claim that "Russia dislikes Wikileaks" lol

Happy Birthday Mr. Julian! 🎂
