Кстати о Мультитране:-) Ничего не имею против awareness education. In preparation for another case of inflicted democracy... American way:-) Турдимурод разделил пополам, а я бы использовала в чистом виде.

Hahaha That would be too simple

What I don't understand is WHY(!) would the evil Russkies even bother being so subtle?..)
I mean, why not simply bomb 'those pesky buggers' into submission (the American way) and call it a day?.. ;)

'Instruct', or even 'impress' seems stylistically appropriate, too.

Winning hearts and minds also comes to mind LOL

@TheMisha You see, you know exactly why I am stuck here. The world at the tip of my tongue is “propaganda”, but I can’t use it here for fear of being reprimanded for frivolous treatment if the source document. :))

I love the idea of the Russian MID doing community outreach or engaging in educating the masses and raising awareness bla bla. I just don't believe it. What they are in fact doing here is sending folks out to PROMOTE the Ministry's position on these non-proliferation issues (or perhaps even compel those unwilling to toe the party line). But putting it this way would be undiplomatic, so I guess you are stuck with "raising awareness about" or "educating those pesky buggers on" whatever issues they are. Just don't call it "outreach," which would be totally hilarious. But I am sure you know that. Cheers, Angela.
