    That’s - she’s putting herself in a lot of danger. This is heroic.

    Please read her statement.

    Apart from that I’m glad to see actual journalism coming out of Russia; another Hail Mary to Mediazona!

    Reading this article is very worthwhile. How I wish I could be anywhere near as brave as Ms. Kozyreva.

    I fear for her safety and I hope for the very best for her. And that she inspires many. I expect she already has.

    Thank you for sharing this article.

      I don’t think that narrative survived what with how many people they’ve needed to draft for service. That illusion fell away pretty quickly I bet.

        I thought nobody would be stupid enough to follow for this obvious propaganda, but in the the last one year and a half, I have changed my opinion.

          Then you just found out about the Russian mindset. Fact of the matter is, Russians developed learned helplessness and rely on authority figures because they have gotten used to it since tsardom. They will only complain if their means for livelihoods and pensions are touched. The only times Russians had seriously challenged the authority was Imperial Russia losing World War 1 causing inflation, and Putin tried to implement pension reform. It is general rule that people only rise up if their means of livelihood become affected.

    The amount of immigration Russia will need to fill the void of dead young men…

    China is ready for this.

    I share the sentiment that Ukraine has inflicted grave wounds upon Russia. But Trump is the latest in a long line of (wanna-be-)dictators that have shown how far you can push things, if you just don’t care about the wounds your country is receiving. And Putin seems particularly uncaring.

    Credit to her for doing the right thing. Repeatedly since the invasion on 2022z

    I’m sure we all hope we’d be as brave in her situation

    The longer the war drags on, the more it is to Russia’s detriment. At some point, Russia will be in Chinese orbit, contrary to Russia trying to re-forge their own empire and influence.
