The fact that the fair story was picked by many sources doesn’t make it true.
“...doesn’t make it true.”
Didn’t say it was other than that’s what Putin wanted to do honest or not. Pavel never was a general, they didn’t use his last name, they had the incorrect uniform on him (probably with added fabric)..so how could they have brought a low level troop off retirement to become a general he never was?
I displayed the story was not just a single source but was in many different public sourced window displays. Putin is trying the old US media bait and lie to con people. But in that part of the world, that’s about all that is needed. So it did get wide display. And like the US liars, if you say it enough, someone will start to believe it. US liberals have been using that for well over a hundred years.
