- Abstract
- This PM study the Nord Stream sabotage, where Nord Stream 1 and 2 (NS) were
disrupted on May 26, 2022, to investigate if any elements of Russian reflexive
control (RC) can be identified. Empirical data from the internet forum flashback’s
thread on the NS sabotage has been used in the study.1 The thesis will begin with
the historical background and the definition of the term reflexive control in research
and elaborate on related expressions such as maskirovka and disinformation. As RC
is using psychological factors to influence the opponent’s decision patterns it is
worth to comment on the context and the potential objectives for Russia to use RC.
Raw data from flashback’s, NS-thread, have been collected, sorted and assessed.

Using congruence analysis in combination with qualitative analysis methods, the
