If you've not read it already this is a good piece on the sharing of Russian Propaganda (whether unwittingly or otherwise) by segments of the British left: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/mar/02/russian-propaganda-anti-imperialist-left-vladimir-putin.
It's pretty well balanced. Like the writer, I've been to plenty of STW and STW adjacent events and, while it is only a minority, there are still some people on the left who view imperialism as purely Western phenomenon. It's a weird outgrowth of the old school tanky left and the Iraq war.

Any comment? If Stop the War don't want to be seen as Putin's useful idiots, can they stop Kremlin propaganda being disseminated at their events?
