The Spin

Anti-Russia narrative

Boris Bondarev's arguments for resigning only prove that the West's assessment of Moscow's political elite is correct. Since Putin came to power, greed and warmongering have dominated Russia's political scene. It's the free world's moral obligation to do everything in its power to support decent people like Bondarev in breaking away from the Kremlin.

Pro-Russia narrative

Bondarev's resignation is just another welcome opportunity for the "free world" to demonize Russia and mask its own moral decay. It's telling, that, to this day, hardly any high-ranking Western politicians or officials have had the decency to resign over Iraq or numerous other wars that the West has unleashed in the name of "democracy and freedom."
