The Spin

Anti-Russia narrative

Russian Pres. Vladimir Putin continues to undermine media freedom in order to bury the truth about his war on Ukraine. Journalists have always been censored but now they’re being detained on erroneous charges. True Russian democracy will never be achieved without a free press informing its citizens about what’s happening.

Pro-Russia narrative

RFE/RL was created by Washington to spread Cold War, anti-communist propaganda in the USSR and its Eastern Bloc allies. These operations have continued after the fall of the Soviet Union, and individuals working for such foreign agents are allowed into Russia assuming they abide by a legal process. Kurmasheva failed to take part in her basic legal requirements and has consequently — and clearly — violated Russian law.
