You have to stop your filthy rotten propaganda machine here. (Trolling, flaming)
Second warning.

I think there is a lot of truth to what Basil77 is saying even if he is a bit to blunt with saying it. There are definitely two sides to what happened there, and he is a strong supporter of the nationalistic Russian viewpoint - that's all!

I mean - we all heard those leaked phone calls from Washington, about who they wanted in charge and who was rejected. (and f*ck the EU!)

We know Basil77 - he's been a member for ages and is not some propaganda troll. This is his heartfelt opinion. Just like Eric C has a heartfelt dislike for Putin, Russian politics and anything relating to socialism.

And it's open to anyone to contradict him, or prove him wrong. I think he should be allowed freedom of speech as long as he isn't rude or offensive.

English speaking visitors are not likely to hear this anywhere else, so I think his voice is important. And after all - this forum is partly about understanding Russia. Basil77 expresses the viewpoint of millions in Russia.

Clearly this is personal for lots of people here and I think Basil77 has mentioned that he has in-laws in Ukraine, so it's understandable that he is passionate - particularly if his wife is affected.

That said, I also think Basil77 should be a bit more sensitive.

It's partly my fault as well, for asking about this.

It's not propaganda, it's a simple truth. "Filthy rotten propaganda" is what you hear every day on CNN, BBC, Euronews, etc.

Thank you for your support, Hanna. You are right, my in-laws indeed encountered some personal problems now after all this happenings, I even think now about buying a house for them here in Russia becasue it's became litereally impossible to live in hellhole that junta in Kiev turned Ukraine into.

That would be amazing, if you are in a position to do that.
It's so, so tragic and to think that Ukrainians should have to go through hell again, when they already experienced it in the 1990s.
I wonder about the forum member it-ogo and whether he has left his hometown or whether he's still around there. If he left, where he went to.
He was a very credible representative for the pro-Kiev viewpoint, despite living in Donbass. I think he had a good life there and I fear things could be really awful for him at the moment.

He lived in Kramatorsk which is controlled by Kiev for now.
