Crippled by the Kremlin, Russia’s State Media No Longer Competes
Following nationwide protests last Sunday, Russia’s state-controlled media badly fumbles its coverage. People shout anti-government slogans in front of police during a protest downtown Moscow, March 26, 2017. AP Photo / Alexander Zemlianichenko By Alexey Kovalev, for The Moscow Times Last Sunday, protests on a scale not seen since 2012 shook Moscow, St. Petersburg, and about 90 other Russian cities and towns — even in areas traditionally thought of as Putin’s stronghold, where his approval and his party’s ratings are in the high 90s. Several thousand people — no less than 8,000 in Moscow alone — came out to protest government corruption, despite warnings that they could be arrested. For these demonstrators, the personification of government corruption has become Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, the country’s unassuming former president, whom firebrand opposition leader Alexei Navalny targeted earlier this month in a damning investigation. You might say that 60,000 Russians protesting

Sorry, ‘Experts,’ but Ukraine Has Not Yet Died: An Investigation
By Jim Kovpak, for StopFake Since 2014, Ukraine has been one of the Russian state media’s favorite topics. So much so, that the major state-run networks will sometimes totally ignore major events in Russia to cover run-of-the-mill stories in Ukraine. The most recent example was last Sunday, when news presenter and Rossiya Segodnya chief Dmitry Kiselyov told viewers about rampant corruption in Ukraine while ignoring mass anti-corruption protests which had taken place in over 80 Russian cities that very day. The themes have been repeated endlessly since 2014- Ukraine has totally collapsed and is a failed state. Ukraine is on the point of collapse, starvation, and freezing due to lack of fuel for the winter. Ukraine is a puppet of the US. So shrill are Russia’s pundits and commentators, they often neglect to notice the stark contradiction between their claims.
