Small minority of people who know the truth makes no difference whatsoever in public opinion, and they will continue to know anyway because this is what normal people do.
Slightly altered from another challenging statement below:

Russia must repatriate remains of Red Army soldiers buried anywhere in Europe, especially Germany, and remove the monument in Treptower Park and bring it back to Russia. The generation of Western Allies who fought heroically in WW II is pretty much gone now and there is no need in trying to convince the West about who and how defeated Nazism.

Small minority of Europeans who know the truth makes no difference whatsoever in public opinion and they will continue to know anyway because this is what normal people do. The rest, who cares–it is over for the West anyway and the trajectory to oblivion is well defined.

Anyway, how can we say it is a fact?

In addition, Western propaganda has come out with so many egregious #lies, that anything they claim has to be viewed critically.

Just Google “Russia” and “war crimes”— you will get no less than 130,000,000 results. Now look at this list. You will see multiple entries, using almost identical phrasing, indicating the same sources.

Now Google “UAF war crimes”. 234,000 results.

Yet, while there is almost no hard #evidence of Russian war crimes, there is more than enough of UAF crimes. 15,000 dead in Eastern Ukraine testify to that. Not to mention the well-documented shelling of civilian sites, in addition to random #atrocities such as #rape and #murder and, of course, numerous Ukrainian videos of the #mutilation and #execution of POWs.

“ #Bucha massacre”? A miniscule 1,160,000 results. Yet all the photos showed fresh bodies who apparently remained fresh for 3 weeks. Those chicken cutlets in my fridge go bad in about a week. But they don’t have white arm bands, indicating they are Russian chickens.

We must assume the laws of Nature are different for Russians. Not to mention basic psychology.

The Western #Media would have us believe the Russians are self-destructive. Massacring their own. Blowing up their own pipelines. Attacking their own nuclear power plants, shelling their own hospitals, schools, and shopping centers.

Again, this is not to say that individual Russians or Wagnerites have NOT done some bad stuff— just as American and Brit soldiers did in WWII — just not on the same scale as the UkroNazis. Don’t #believe what you read uncritically.

I didn't give the source. I wonder if the text can be googled. Yes, it can be found!

There’s something to be said here about the analytic model that prevails in our time - there’s a machine that instantly springs to life, taking in rumors and partial information in an environment of extreme uncertainty and spitting out formulaic results that match #ideological presuppositions. #Information is not evaluated neutrally, but forced through a cognitive filter that assigns it meaning in light of predetermined conclusions. #Russia is supposed to collapse and undergo regime change (Fukuyama said so) - therefore, #Prigozhin’s actions had to be framed in reference to this assumed endgame.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, we saw some similar measure of aggressive model-fitting from “Trust the Plan” Russia supporters, who were confident that the #Wagner uprising was just an act - an elaborate ruse concocted in concert by Prigozhin and #Putin to fool Russia’s enemies and advance the plan. The analytic error here is the same - information is parsed only for the purpose of buttressing and advancing a pre-concluded endgame; except it is Russian omnicompetence which is assumed instead of Russian state collapse.
