Kompromat (, short for ''компро''метирующий ''мат''ериал) is the Russian term for compromising materials about a politician or other public figure. Such materials can be used to create negative publicity, for blackmail, or for ensuring loyalty. Kompromat can be acquired from various security services, or outright forged, and then publicized by paying off a journalist. Widespread use of kompromat has been one of the characteristic features of politics in Russia and other post-Soviet states.〔(Operation Smear Campaign ), The Ukrainian Week (10 September 2013)〕 One recent development has been the creation of specialized kompromat websites, most famously the Russian Компромат.Ru (compromat.ru), that will, for a fee of several hundred dollars, publish any piece of kompromat on anyone. Consequently, such websites are occasionally temporarily blocked by Russian ISPs and their owners harassed by government agencies.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Blogger Gorshkov Will Dish Dirt on Russian Politicians — for a Price )〕 ==See also== * Opposition research * Negative campaigning * Defamation 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kompromat」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
