Hybrid warfare, and it's at least partly those posing as tourists who are engaged in the action.

"Hybrid warfare" is a propaganda term used to escalate the population's fear of war, resulting in higher preparedness.

Most "terrorist" attacks are quickly pinned on Russia without any proper proof. And everytime Russia is mentioned as an aggressor (without actually having a motive to attack/get info/...), it solidifys the population's image of Putin who wants to annex Europe.

Sometimes the term "soviet union" is uttered. But anyone comparing Putin to anything socialist is a fool - be it liberal or tankie.

The biggest (eco-terrorist) attack on Germany since 2022 was done by Ukrainians. Not Russians.
