Another question

[Melissa Smith]

Out of curiosity, I fed the phrase to Google Translate which gave me 
Пропогандистские действия! 

It is interesting how historically colored such terminology can be. To 
give the phrase contemporary resonance I would assume it should be 
colored by English: адвокационные действия, эдвокаси?
