Thread: To Be A Russian

A very biased article. All the photos are black-and-white, no smiling faces, no sun, 2 of 16 persons are said to be homeless - this picture isn't even near to what I see in my everyday life in Russia.

Agreed.
The article is a good example of the manipulation of consciousness. No matter what the article really is about, a reader gets the subconscious messages: "black-and-white photos of old houses and blocks", "homeless people and losers", "old ugly-looking men and women", "migrants from Tajikistan" and so on.
Especially, that weird head in a cylinder hat lying on a fridge... There is something infernal in it.
