For us, the news from Ukraine is clear. We see invasions, war, bombing civilian facilities, and war crimes. We talk to thousands of Ukrainians who come to Poland. We're frightened and shocked, and we don't know why, why and how. It seems to us that the Russians should think the same way and that Putin's end is very near, due to the fact that millions of people should go out on the streets in defence of peace and truth. Nothing more wrong. knowing most Russians is completely different...
One anecdote from the old years, which will aid realize the reasoning of the “putinian Russians”: more than 10 years ago, my daughter studying in an English-speaking school for a while knew a Russian female and I ran into her parents for a while during school meetings and turned a fewer words into them. He – a typical of the western commercial network (but educated in the pilots' school), she – a daughter of 1 of the Russian poets who as usual was destroyed by alcohol and Russian speak, but besides a daughter of a Russian colonel from the advanced military spheres. What the Russians (who have lived in Poland for respective years) told about the surprise of what happened during their journey to Krakow on the weekend that happened... August 15th. They were amazed and completely amazed – why everything was closed, why so fewer people on the train and whatever it was that nobody was on the streets. I began to explain that by 15 August and the spiritual feast, but that it is truly about what is going on in Poland with this day to commemorate the fight against the Red Army and about the “wonder of the Vistula” and about the large triumph over Warsaw. The more I spoke, the more I saw the disbelief in their eyes and the deep conviction that I was talking any full nonsense and capitalist inventions, due to the fact that there was no war with Poland (who would remember any tiny things during the large Revolution), and surely the Red Army could not lose due to the fact that it is invincible. They just didn't have any information about this part of Russia's history, and what's more – they didn't let anything like that to happen at all. In general, the Russians seldom scope for information outside of the authoritative mainstream, and a large number of Russians do not usage abroad languages as well as what is known to lead to. National intellectual displacement, which after another 10 years is even greater.
So we are not even aware of what the invasion and war in Ukraine is present for the average Russians. authoritative transmission – a limited military operation to get free of the “Nazis” and, above all, to halt the “genocide” in separatist republics and it is only the DRL and LRL troops (those republics) fighting for their areas. There are no maps at all and no information that fights are taking place all over the west Ukraine and that cities are being shelled, and in addition, that Russian aircraft fall and subsequent armored columns are being smashed with Ukrainian missiles. possibly only any missiles and aircraft bomb (rightly) NATO military bases in Ukraine and preventively destruct the threat to their homeland. Even phones and communication with people from Ukraine (many Russians have friends and relatives there) does not change anything. They simply do not believe this information, they know that there was genocide of Nazis from Ukraine, and all this is simply a right military operation that will bring large Russia and most Ukrainians are now simply confused by the “Nazi” governments in Kiev and will be right...
Really !!!
“Russian truth” brings Russian portals like Ria novesti. There is simply a column “How to liberate Ukrainians from Stockholm syndrome” – that is, everyone who shoots someway succumbed to the fascination of the government, who took them as hostages, immediately “It was essential to carry out the denazification of Ukraine in 2014” – that is, that they had to be invaded 8 years earlier, due to the fact that it would have been easier to comment “Why the West doesn’t see the Nazis in Ukraine” – and that Zeleński (despite the judaic origin that the portal even emphasizes) was truly cryptic bander and Nazi (here it’s truly hard to follow the author’s main thought).
There are also concepts on the border of "pure nonsense" – in the news of the death of the typical of the OSCE during the fire of Kharkiv in lenta.ru there was immediately information (rapidly removed) that... it was the Ukrainians who kidnapped representatives of the United Nations in Kharkov. I think the author realized the absurdity of the concept he wanted to develop, that they first kidnapped and then most likely killed and then planted missiles at the site (which Russian readers might believe in), but in turn we would gotta prove that it was the Ukrainians themselves who shot the Kharkivs in which they are, due to the fact that the Russian army of Kharkov and Kiev ellipse does not have, and this is only an operation in separatist republics.
For present – most of the Russian society, passive and accustomed to "putinism" and decade propaganda – believes this without limit. The change will come only after any time – erstwhile the trucks marked Gruz (Ladzenia) (Ladzenia) – 200 – are Russian military code- the name of transports with corpses and erstwhile subsequent families hear calls from sons from military units.
For now, there is no hope for any media leftovers – blocking any independent news channels and any remaining independent information is tight. Echo Moscow and the Dozd channel halt broadcasting – all government portal (e.g. interfax russia) announces this openly by saying that "The surveillance agency linked the allegations against the tv station to the "directed and systematic placement" on the website "information calling for extremist activities, violence, and deliberately incorrect information on the activities of Russian military personnel under peculiar operations to defend DPR and LPR.’ For us it may seem curiosistic and even funny, but as Gogol wrote in Russia it is and “funny and terrible”. It is now adopted a decree of Duma that false information about the Russian military, that is, fejk (there is specified a word and in Russian) is threatened by prison punishment until the age of 15 (and will surely be enforced). small wonder, then, that editor-in-chief of Dozd is leaving immediately, and the editorial office “I request strength and time to breathe and realize how to keep working“ That’s precisely what interfax writes. For it will be considered as a fejk any photograph of a crashed Russian tank or column, or even the information that it is an army in a place where it cannot actually be. This is the final phase of fighting independent media and promoting – one, correct message.
Only remains – reading between poems, for example about losses – the Russians now admit to 500 dead, and even confirmed the death of their reasonably well-known general (he was a deputy of the 41th Army) – Andrei Suchowiecki. A more conscious recipient, seeing what happens on the street – the ruble falls, the closed stock exchange, the company withdrawing from Russia (this is what the Russian mainstream informs without problems) evidently understands the full situation, but we inactive do not number that most Russians will see the truth.
Unfortunately, neither Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Gogol, nor even Pushkin – specified a nightmare never occurred...
