How did Russian society react to the Ukrainian attack?
Centre for Eastern Studies ^ | 13/8/24 | Katarzyna Chawryło

Posted on 08/19/2024 12:13:30 PM PDT by Eleutheria5

In today’s video, we take a look at how Russian society reacted to the recent events in the Kursk region. Apart from looking at the responses of Russians directly affected by the Ukrainian invasion of Russia, we also look at Russian media and how they are attempting to create a favourable narrative for the Kremlin, despite the situation on the ground of the ongoing war with Ukraine showing that Russians in the Kursk region are panicking and fleeing from the region.

How was the Ukrainian invasion narrated in the Russian media and in social media? Did the propaganda attack the West this time? And why are Russians asking Putin directly for help instead of their local authorities?

Our Russian expert, Katarzyna Chawryło, answers this and other questions in our analysis of Russian propaganda media and social media news on the situation in Kursk now.

Evacuees are writing letters directly to Putin, believing he will help them.

A more useful question might be, who funds the “Center for Eastern Studies”?

Does anyone else think the Russians have something up their sleeve? Like a pincher movement, leaving those Ukrainian troops cut off. It’s too quiet from the Kremlin, which is not unusual.

Who cares. Maybe. Maybe not. But the Kursk bridges are out, so the pincher movement will have to come from somewhere other than Crimea.

If Ukraine attacks Russia from the rear end, would Greece help?

I think Russia will announce this week a second mobilization, and I expect bombing sorties over Kiev. Gloves are coming off, short of nukes.

Like a pincher movement

It's referred to in military parlance as a "Pincer movement."

It's named after the tool:

Let them be biased. Just underline the verifiable facts they site, verify them, and then hear what other biased people have to say and do the same.

Nope, not when those online platforms censor President Trump, Conservatives, Legacy Americans, Christians and Jews.

No quarter for those platforms or those that cite them.

So, you only pay attention to platforms that are purely objective and unbiased? The only one who is objective and unbiased is G-d Himself. Good like persuading Him to start a platform.

So I just cited a definitely biased platform, because all platforms are biased. Now you can give me no quarter. I’ll take nickels and dimes.

But, of course, the Eastern Studies Center has not, to my knowledge, censored anyone. So what’s your beef?

Author is a Polack with an axe to grind. She is not where the story is. Maybe she’s accurate, maybe not. That would be like me writing about the happenings in Buenos Aries today.

“Centre for Eastern Studies” The “centre” was founded in 1990 and is fully financed from the Polish state budget.

State propaganda alert from one of the belligerents.

The footage is of Russians fleeing Kursk, saying what they think, petitioning Putin to come save them, saying how shocked they were that the propaganda was saying everything was all right, but they were fleeing an active invasion.

Are they Polish people with axes to grind? The author lives in the dangerous neighborhood of Eastern Europe, and she’s a part of the culture, though her language does not use the Cyrillic alphabet like Russia, Ukraine and Latvia do. I’d trust her analysis, axe to grind or not, over yours.

She’s just another Pole, on the government paycheck, supporting the government line. My opinion is just as valuable as hers. Maybe more so.

And as for the video, someone fleeing is something is not exactly a well informed source beyond what they saw on their own block.

Poland is not a belligerent, except to the extent that Polish farmers are blocking Ukrainian grain trucks, and they’re full up with Ukrainian refugees, who’ve overstayed their welcome.

“State propaganda” to what end? Furthermore, the people interviewed are Russian refugees, speaking Russian, and relating their experiences and feelings in fleeing Kursk as they flee Kursk. Are you claiming these are Potemkin refugees? That this is all done on a sound stage somewhere in Warsaw?

I’m sorry if some of it upset your personal narrative. That was bound to happen. Deal with it.

” My opinion is just as valuable as hers. Maybe more so.”

You really are dense. This is not her opinion. It is interviews with Russian refugees fleeing. She only narrates.

Did you even bother listening to any of it? Stop wasting my time.

The Polish government line is that Russia is f@#$ing over there, and they don’t want the Russian army plowing through Ukraine, because that’s way closer.

If you must be a brainwashed Putinista, at least get your facts right.

I don't waste my time playing a rigged game "discussing" "content" on biased platforms, the entities they polish, or the assets that post 'em, and invite me to play.

I just give 'em the ridicule they have earned.
