  • If you feel powerless there’s a little thing you can do, start commenting on Russian owned business reviews.
    Pasting this text:
    Ваше правительство лжет вам об Украине. Пожалуйста, найдите способ узнать правду от семьи, друзей и источников новостей за пределами России! Убивают невинных людей. Вставать!
    (Your government lies to you about Ukraine. Please find a way to get the truth from family, friends and news sources outside of Russia! Innocent people are being killed. Get up!)

    It’s a tiny thing, but at least it makes you feel like you’ve done something.
    And if enough of us, etc etc.

  • I mean... telling the US Trump supporters they're being lied to worked so well.

    They're still there totally brainwashed and supporting Trump now, giving Putin a higher approval score than their own president. Similar for Tory voting people here, the Brexit voters, etc.

    If the US and UK can't solve it's own issues with truth and rational thought why do we expect a little comment spam to achieve it for Russia when they're been brainwashed by a single dictator for far far longer than any single leader in the West has.

  • they're been brainwashed by a single dictator for far far longer than any single leader in the West has

    Yes. Posting on random businesses reviews is a great idea if it was a completely isolated country but it isn't. They have access to BBC or CNN, it's just they've been brainwashed to not believe anything "western propaganda" publishes.

  • I didn’t expect the Russian troops to turn around because I posted a comment on a Moscow cafe’s review page. (although the convoy heading to Kiev did suffer a series of breakdowns at about the same time)
    But here’s an article about it.
