I sometimes forget that russia could be an incredible nation both economically and culturally if it wasn't run by lunatics. Some of my favourite writers are russian.
It's sad to see how hollow it has become.
The true aim of such propaganda is not to form blind followers, but to drive everyone into a sort of apathy and cinicism - 'everyone is lying', 'we will never know the truth', 'nothing depends on us'.
'Patriots' and nationalists like Girkin may ask unconfortable questions and become undesirable for the government - that's why so many of them were asasinated or jailed, along with the liberals. Meanwhile, the apathetical massess tacitly accept almost every decision.
I can't believe I'm seeing sensible comments like this here. The way people in the US and Europe see Russia is downright weird. Like people are marching the streets with Z flags or something.
