People depend on the media and internet to learn what’s happening, and dictatorships tend to control both. They were cutting off internet on Ruzzia over the weekend, so it wouldn’t surprise me if most Russians don’t find out.
Leshaches-
For sure. Ruzzia has its own version of Fox News, but it is on four channels at the same time. Still by heart russians are so accustomed to taking things with a grain of salt that it will be difficult to brush this off as nothing. So what they do is make it a spectacle and praise the heroes instead to spin the failure as a great success. The crazy thing is people accept it even though they know there is something fishy.

Just because Ruzzia does not make sense does not mean they have some great master plan. The place is a mess and they just make shit up as they go. Prigo never claimed he was fighting Putler so it makes perfect sense he quit his sabre rattling before everything got too dangerous for the czar. Still it begs the question has the mood of the ruzzian people finally changed now that the death toll is out in the open. Once the ball gets rolling it is really difficult to stop it.
