How Russia covered the war in Ukraine from day one to today. The level of "reality fabrication" here is unbelievable and only matched by state's resolve to punish those who protest war. Based on this long-read by @IrisovaOlga for @RiddleRussia

Operation in Ukraine is presented as a matter of "life and death" for Russian people, state and sovereignty 2/9

For 8 years the US has invested in creating a hostile state out of Ukraine, Biden torpedoed every attempt at diplomacy. Ukraine aims for nuclear arms, US aims to use Ukraine to attack Russia. 3/9
2nd narrative «Noble» Russian «liberators» vs. Ukrainian «treacherous nationalists»
RU do not attack cities, only liberate. Ukrainians are ready to kill their own to set up Russia, they kill their own who is not ready to fight. They are Nazi fanatics and are barely human 4/9

3rd narrative «Genocide of the Russian-speaking population»
Ukrainian Nazi's aim is genocide of Russians, torture and killings. For 8 years they suffered like under the Nazi occupation during WWII - now Russia comes to liberate Ukraine from Nazism. It's almost 1945.

4th narrative "Ukrainian military surrender en masse".
Ukrainian army does not want to fight - they surrender in great numbers and we send them back home to their families. Ukrainian army is demoralized and shocked.

5th narrative "An information war is being waged against Russia"
Ukraine is staging everything, recording videos of "alleged" hostilities. It's all fabricated. West is endorsing Ukraine's lies, paying millions of $ to promote it. Russians who repeat those lies - are enemies 7/9

"From February 24 to March 2, Channel One news showed neither footage of cities bombed by Russian military, nor footage of soldiers killed, nor anti-war demonstrations taking place around world. They did not show appeals to the Russians of the leaders of Western countries" 8/9
Russians that report alternative view are being shut down and addressed by the police, those who protest detained and persecuted. We have a new fat stack of legal tool to prosecute for even hinting that Russian state might be wrong. 9/9
