Because Putin's Russia is just that dedicated to honesty and transparency.
Yes, you've just single-handedly debunked the "Russian Rail System is Collapsing" Theory - based on info from the Russians, themselves.

Those are some good-looking dogs.
That looks like a delicious hot summer day sip.
I’ll have to see if those are available next time I stop by Spec’s.
rail.cc is not a Russian site. The About page points at a Peter guy who has been a train enthusiast for 20+ yrs.
The bookings are on India rail and Finland rail. They certainly have connections to Russian rail, but the ticket is bought in New Delhi and Finland. I don’t see those countries corrupting their ticketing to satisfy propaganda. No one reasonable would expect that.
Well, then that's all we need to know about him, isn't it? No further vetting necessary. We can accept everything he says for Gospel truth!
And the possibility that this "Peter guy" is himself innocent, but blithely repeating misinformation fed to him from other sources?

Look, I'm not necessarily an adherent of any "Russian Rail System is Collapsing" Theory; the system is probably no more moribund, corrupt, and collapsing than it was 23 years ago, when I travelled from Moscow to the Crimea - in a train with no functioning toilets three cars to the rear or three cars to the front. Where there was no "dining car," and where the so-called bistro ran out of luke-warm bottled water a few hours into the journey. Where we were side-tracked for several hours in 100 °F temperatures for no discernible reason.
I suggest only that we maintain a healthy skepticism with regards to information coming from either side of this conflict. And that means not dismissing out of hand even crackpot theories like this one.

The best way to get past propaganda is like so:
I look for youtube channels by a youtuber who predates the war. Simply that. The subject will generally have nothing to do with the war to avoid youtube shutting them down.

Her vids date back 3 years, you can scroll to the start. She is from Vladivostok
And here is a recent one:

I dunno about Good Boy. I get tipsy on one drink of mild stuff.
4% ABV. Not bad for alcohol light.
My best friends.
I think I could handle one.
Thanks for the info.
We post countless pix showing Zelensky and Democrats loving on each other and zeepers claim we’re Democrats?
NEWSPEAK.
Exactly !!
That’s what rats do and always get away with!
It’s right out of their troll handbooks. That’s one of the Alinsky tactics they’re taught in troll class.
