Russia's federal media watchdog tasks its spooks with protecting Vladimir Putin from memes that portray him as a 'bald dwarf', 'a crab', or 'a Hitler wannabe'.
That is according to reports on a leak out of Roskomnadzor, the main agency behind online censorship in Moscow that is responsible for blocking material about the on-going invasion of Ukraine and any disparaging posts about the Russian president.
Analysis of the leaks found that the agency compiles reports on all 'negative publications', and sends them 'upstairs' to the Kremlin and Russia's security services to brief them on all of the despot's critics via an internal messaging system.
Putin's online image is monitored at almost all times, according to independent Russian outlets that have delved into the leaks. Roskomnadzor employs thousands of people, many of whom are expected to work over the weekend or holidays.
In particular, it is understood that they are on the look out for anything that questions Putin's macho image, his health, or his mental acumen.

I’m 6’2”. My rage is more likely from Irish DNA or living around Philly.
According to polls there are less Americans who like Putin than those who believe in werewolves.
quick google:
“Average height for men in the United States
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) , the average age-adjusted height for American men 20 years old and up is 69.1 inches (175.4 centimeters) during the years 2015 to 2016. That’s about 5 feet 9 inches tall.”
Have you ever seen Zelensky? He’s shorter than Putin, but the Bidenistas conveniently forget that fact when posting their childish drivel.
Putin wears high heels. Putin’s Napoleon complex or how to look 15 cm taller.

So this report is a report on memes denigrating Putin that Putin never sees? I’d be more concerned if Putin was looking at any of that.
Meanwhile, a far more interesting report would be on how over half the American public — and every Democrat — is shielded from actual news that would otherwise contradict their preconceptions, and how when they are actually confronted with it, their confirmation bias denies the plain evidence.
I would call 5 ft. 7 exactly ‘’short’’.
I’m a woman, FFS! And you’re an a$$.
