Kompromat

Kompromat is a kind of cheat that bad people use to blackmail others. It's a Russian word, and it means 'compromising material' or things that could be used to make someone look bad or get them in trouble. It could be a secret photo or video, documents, or something else that someone doesn't want other people to know about them. Bad people use kompromat to force people to do things they don't want to do, like give them money or influence other people.
