A User's Guide to Russian Propaganda

There was a story on how some nerds hacked a US Kiev embassy employee’s email and there was a discussion with Ukrainian deputy MoD on how to make a false flag attack on an airbase in mainland Ukraine during Crimean takeover.
I wonder why it wasn’t big news, guys in hackers’ forums are all in agreement that these are authentic emails.

“In order to believe that Vladimir Putin is anything other than the hero who 80% of Russians believe he is, you need to believe that Bork Obunga, George Soros, and Victoria Newland are good people.”

LOL ! You Mongoloids are underestimating the Yanks, majority of them are not that stupid to fall for this childish garbage.

Sorry, Putin is no hero. He is in fact destroying the relationship between the east Slavs. Ukrainians are descendents of Cossacks from moscowy and from the polish Lithuanian commonwealth. Their anarchist poltical history contrast with muscowy's Mongol historical autocracy but the are ethnicallythe same. Putin is putting a wedge between then that will more and more emphasis to a separate Ukrainian identity. Unfortunately, Ukrainehas a weak cultural footprint now as in the 20s to 30s so maybe encouraged to define itself in terms of "we are not....." Aand that lead to Banderą and the UPA who were.so.cruel in the Warsaw uprising they shocked even the ss. No, Putin is playing with fire. He has no successors designated and is alienating Ukrainians. He lay end up destroying Russia just as Hitler ended up destroying German influences in east Europe.

This is Putin’s Russia:

Earlier this year, a 488-page document, the product of a decade-long investigation by Spanish prosecutors into the linkages between organized crime and the Kremlin, alleged that Russia’s Chairman of the Investigative Committee, Alexander Bastrykin, owes his political career to Gennady Petrov, a high-ranking member of the Tambov crime syndicate. The Tambov gang was the top mafia clan active in St. Petersburg in the 1990s, around the time when a young Vladimir Putin was active in the city’s government. Spanish wiretaps allegedly caught Bastrykin’s lawyer openly thanking Petrov for having arranged political promotions for his boss. And Bastrykin was hardly the only high-ranking official implicated: there were are at least a few Duma deputies, a former Defense Minister, and even a former Prime Minister.

And just two weeks ago, the results of an investigation published by Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny thoroughly shook up Moscow in revealing that the two sons of Russian Attorney General Yuri Chaika had engaged in a close business partnership with Russia’s criminal Godfather Sergei Tsapok. Tsapok, whose gang in Russiaâ€™s Krasnodar region operated with impunity for years and received protection from higher-level authorities, became known country-wide in 2010 after his goons killed a dozen of people, including women and children, in what became known as the Kuschevskaya massacre.
