Kultureller Hintergrund
Russians are extremely active on Telegram. 'Скинуть инфу' is the primary way people exchange everything from news to government documents in private chats. In traditional Russian companies with strict hierarchies, wait for your boss to use slang first before you 'скинуть инфу' to them. The 'sharing economy' of information is huge in Russian universities. Students 'скидывают инфу' about exams constantly to help each other pass. Among Gen Z in Moscow and St. Petersburg, 'инфа' is often used as a standalone word to mean 'truth' or 'fact', similar to 'No cap' in English.
