Yes, I would agree, as a pro-Putin pro-Russia clear information seeker/sorter, who resides at the extreme far west of Russia (in western Canada), yet simultaneously also most near to eastern Russia (on the supposed “globe”) lol— The way I stay positively oriented towards hope for humanity amidst the doomers i come across in all directions, is by my own intuitively honed discernment radar which receives coherent signals in the content of any Putin or Lavrov lecture, over any disingenuous slick-quacking🦆decoy.

Your writeup gives me good signals too :)

Every point in this article is absolutely correct ! Russian is my first language, I ' m originally from the former USSR , in 1992 came to the US of A right after college. I have family members , many relatives and some friends who still live in former Soviet Union regions, including Russia and former Ukraine . With the beginning of Special Military Operation it took time for me to figure out how to navigate in Russian informational space, how to sort controversial info, how to differentiate BS propaganda from facts and reality. And I've learned , my BS detector works well & fast and is sharply tuned now. One must maintain the informational hygiene because we get bombarded with Western & ukro-nazis & zionists infectious excrements in every language and every country.

Thank you for the elaboration about the controversial info provided by the supposedly pro-Russian sources in social media. As a Westerner who is long fed up with the Western MSM propaganda I seek trustworthy info about the Russian affairs in general and the SMO in particular, from Russian sources using VPN to circumvent Western censorship. Although I'm a descendant of Crimean Greeks I do not speak Russian so, I have to use some kind of a translator such as Google Translate to read articles and comments in Russian and Belarusian media and blogs. I have already noticed almost every single point you referred to in your analysis. I always try to crosscheck unusual info that looks somehow fishy with the official sources such as the Russian MoD.
