a refreshingly straightforward summary of why the Ukraine is so horribly fucked. Had to be translated privately as it seems no English-speaking media wanted to touch it. -

I was reading an interesting article on how Russian domestic propaganda works nowadays, and it's amusing that much of it is just reproducing the most ridiculous stories that the western media spurts out and painting the entire western media with the same brush, so to speak. As an example there was that recent hysteria about 'Russia being behind Pokemon Go' (it was largely developed and managed by the betabet group at Google, indicating CIA influence if anything) - it was reproduced across a multitude of talk shows, each one bringing in 'liberal' or 'pro-western' guests to comment on it, all of them inevitably making fools of themselves and their groups for being ideologically compelled to try to defend such a ridiculous story
