    Russian propaganda media briefly displays anti-war, anti-Putin news items
    https://finance.yahoo.com/news/russian-propaganda-media-briefly-displays-113611104.html

    Several pieces with uncensored anti-Kremlin headlines about Russia's war against Ukraine were briefly published on the website of Russian propaganda tabloid Komsomolskaya Pravda on Feb.12, according to Prodolzenie sleduet, a project founded by journalists formerly employed at Russian opposition newspaper Novaya Gazeta.

    Headlines of the items posted on the site included "Putin orders the killing of ciivilians in Ukraine" and "EU creates tribunal in The Hague for trial of Putin".

    The news items were taken down by administrators less than ten minutes after being published, according to the report.


    Some of the items included information about prisoner recruitment by the Wagner Group and opposition figures' treatment in Russian prisons, including imprisoned leading opposition figure Alexei Navalny.

    According to the report, the news items were published by Komsomolskaya Pravda 24-year-old news reporter Vladimir Romanenko, who had worked at the outlet for half a year.

    Russians defiantly shout 'f**k the war' at concert in St Petersburg

    Thousands of Russian concertgoers furiously screamed out against the war at a concert in St Petersburg, Russia.

    The footage, shared on Twitter by Lubov Sobol, shows thousands of people in the audience for Russian band Kis-Kis. The crowd can be heard chanting "f*** the war" in unison.

    Their defiant display of opposition took place on Friday night, with the clip garnering thousands of responses online.

    Another said: "For those who believe that Putin's propaganda machine is achieving, listen to fans in St Petersburg shouting 'F*** the war!'"

    "If Russian support for the war were as high as pollsters claim, stuff like this would not be happening," a third tweeted, while a final user concluded: "Not many in Russia have the courage to protest individually, as it’s a fascist police state, but in situations like this they feel they can express their opinion freely."



    Earlier in the week, another anti-war protest broke out at a separate concert. Russian rockstar Yuri Shevchuk, the lead singer of the band DDT, was prosecuted as a result.

    According to The Moscow Times, Shevchuk said: "And now people of Ukraine are being murdered. For what? Our boys are dying over there. For what? What are the goals, my friends?"

    The clip shows Shevcuk saying that mothers, children, and the elderly are dying because of "some Napoleonic plans of another Caesar of ours,"

    "The motherland, my friends, is not the president's ass that has to be slobbered and kissed all the time," Shevchuk said.

    Shevchuk was charged with "discrediting" the Russian military and could face a fine of up to 50,000 rubles (£680) if found guilty.

    I clearly remember she got back after fleeing
    so she fleed again?
    or it's likely weekly fleeing?

    Russian propaganda on Telegram and other outlets regularly tries to portray Ukraine refugees as ungrateful parasites. While at the same time attempting to claim they are fleeing the Nazi leadership of Ukraine. Here's how to weed out this continuous stream of Russian bullshit.

    Ukrainian refugees are portrayed in some media and social media channels as ungrateful, dangerous and parasitic. DW explains why such propagandist tactics often work — and how to recognize them for what they are.

    Kremlin media outlet RT attempts to spread their videos -- even scrubbing out the RT logo in the videos -- so they don't get taken down immediately on YouTube. At this point however, anyone who is not brainwashed is believing any of the crud they are pushing.

    RT videos still spreading Ukraine disinformation on YouTube, report finds
    Google’s video site banned the publication last year for its Ukraine falsehoods, but its content is still posted on various channels
