论文摘要
自从苏联时代以来，“ Kompromat”（俄罗斯的“妥协材料”一词）被有效地用于骚扰俄罗斯政治和商业精英。在线众包项目，例如“ RucomPromat”，使使用定量技术（即社交网络分析）可以对Kompromat进行分类和分析。在本文中，我们在1991年至2020年建立了一个由俄罗斯的11,000名俄罗斯和外国国民组成的社交网络。该网络具有出色的模块化结构，具有62个密集的社区。一个社区包含美国著名官员，政客和企业家（包括唐纳德·特朗普总统），似乎涉及俄罗斯在2016年美国总统选举中的有争议的干预。各种网络中心措施都确定了十七个最中心的Kompromat人物，总统弗拉基米尔·普京（Vladimir Putin）坚实地处于最高水平。我们进一步揭示了四种由企业家，政客，银行家和执法人员（“ Siloviks”）主导的四种类型的社区，后者脱离了前三个。
"Kompromat" (the Russian word for "compromising material") has been efficiently used to harass Russian political and business elites since the days of the USSR. Online crowdsourcing projects such as "RuCompromat" made it possible to catalog and analyze kompromat using quantitative techniques -- namely, social network analysis. In this paper, we constructed a social network of 11,000 Russian and foreign nationals affected by kompromat in Russia in 1991 -- 2020. The network has an excellent modular structure with 62 dense communities. One community contains prominent American officials, politicians, and entrepreneurs (including President Donald Trump) and appears to concern Russia's controversial interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential elections. Various network centrality measures identify seventeen most central kompromat figures, with President Vladimir Putin solidly at the top. We further reveal four types of communities dominated by entrepreneurs, politicians, bankers, and law enforcement officials ("siloviks"), the latter disjointed from the first three.
