What!!!
They were front page covers of mainstream magazines!
What was inappropriate about them?

I was accused of simply making up that there is agitation against Russia in Western press.

I posted the magazine covers to show that there is a very clear pattern of villification of Russia and Putin, as demonstrated by these magazine covers.

Then you delete them.

How can I participate here, if I am not allowed to defend myself from accusations, and if mainstream English newspapers are considered inappropriate.

I think you should explain in detail what was wrong with posting those covers. It's certainly not clear to me.
The post was on topic and the pictures were deemed appropriate for European and American magazines, so it's hard to see why they should be censored here.

Hanna, you said it yourself.

And what's wrong with having this opinion, and trying to prove it right when I am accused of making it up?
That's exactly what debating in forums is about, and I did it by posting some pictures that very clearly illustrated the point.

The only explanation I can see, is that you disagree with what I was saying and that you use the moderating priveligies to censor the opinion. That is not ok for me.

Anyone who disagreed could for example have shown picture of Russian villifications and exaggeration regarding Ukraine, i.e. - it seems to be clear that Russian papers are relatively one-sided in their coverage of Ukraine, but is it worse, or less serious than what happens in Western media regarding Russia at the moment? Rather than censor me, why not allow somebody to respond?

I totally sympathise that you might be pissed off with Russia for events in Ukraine because of your own background or politicial views in general. There is no doubt that Russia is pursuing a geopolitical agenda in Ukraine, and that Ukrainians have legitimate historical grievances. But I can't accept that this should mean that I am censored in what I write here.
