While Russian President Vladimir Putin is raining bombs on Ukrainian cities, his top propagandists are most concerned about getting bombarded with text messages and losing the information war to Ukraine.
On Thursdays episode of The Evening With Vladimir Soloviev, state TV propagandist Vladimir Soloviev complained that he and editor-in-chief of RT Margarita Simonyan are being terrorized by unknown individuals, receiving endless calls and texts about Russias military activities in Ukraine. He griped: Margarita and I can show our telephones to demonstrate that were getting a thousand calls and texts per hour.
Several days earlier, two other state TV propagandists, Olga Skabeeva and her husband Evgeny Popov, also reported a barrage of calls. Skabeeva, who hosts the state TV show 60 Minutes, angrily yelled that Ukrainians or their supporters have been endlessly calling everybody, everybody, all citizens of Russia, including me and Evgeny! Later in the show, she loudly interrupted a panelist to grumble about being subjected to a mass attack that started at 2 a.m... we started getting calls from the territory of Ukraine, two to three minutes apart, Ukrainian and Polish phone numbers calling nonstop... And then, text messages with threats to kill me and my family, and photosendless photosof corpses, which they say are the corpses of Russian soldiers!
The fact that the Russian military is experiencing heavy losses during the invasion of Ukraine seemed to be of little consequence to Skabeeva, who for years publicly agitated for war against Ukraine. She was, however, overtly angered by the messages, which serve as a reminder of the wars consequences.
Meanwhile in Moscow, the Russian government has adopted new legislation to prevent the dissemination of fake information about the invasion, with state media describing worldwide condemnation of the Kremlins deeds as informational carpet bombing. Across state television, Putins attempted blitzkrieg against Kyiv is being entirely overshadowed by the Western response to the assault on Ukraine, including U.S. sanctions, which Russian lawmaker Alexey Nechayev described as the blitzkrieg of the West against the Russian economy.

Of course, if you stop the death, there's nothing to have pictures of. Is that too difficult for her to fathom?

"For this purpose we have created the 1920.in tool. Within 48 hours the people of the free world sent the Russians 2 million text messages on their cell phones. Thank you for that! Dont stop! Ukrainians are fighting with real guns. We can at least with our smartphones.

(19,187 posts)Anonymous is winning the propaganda war, and that is a serious blow to Putin's plan to control the message.
The Russians have never run into anything like this before. Their troll farm usually beats back any hackers trying to rat fuck the Russian propaganda, but Anonymous has opened up the floodgates and the trolls can't begin to beat them back.
It makes my heart soar like an eagle to see Putin utterly destroyed at his own game. 🥳

(612 posts)Although it's not the most important factor in this post, I notice that they report that these calls are coming from "the territory of Ukraine . . .
No, they're coming from the internationally-recognized, long established, sovereign country of Ukraine. Check a damned map, you idiots!
