Russian news and information is controlled and various Russians have gone into great detail about it. I have read on this site and other forums of the same (Pro-Putin) mentality and those Russian friends have told me about them. So, your comment is redundant since you have no clue.

It sounds like Red Fox is objecting to your assertions, too.

Russia has controlled, to a great extent, what people think although it could be said that this influence tactic also exists in other countries. But, it is especially applicable in places like Russia. One has to accumulate several sources and investigate more extensively to obtain accurate info and insight. Obviously, you don't do so at all. Parroting pro-Putin articles on the internet (most likely Western sources who prefer to toot Putin's horn) and repeating Pro-Putin Russian nationals isn't accomplishing that either.
