If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

The Five-Headed Snake of Russia's Genocidal Propaganda Machine

Daniel Kosoy, Valeriia Voshchevska  |  Jun 08, 2024 10:33


Imagine yourself in a place where there are no consequences for going on live television and calling for the death of your competitors or just ordinary people. Where no one will bat an eye about the crazy stuff you say because the people tasked with oversight are also the ones paying your salary.

For many active online, the use of social media by prominent Russian propagandists to spread hate against Ukrainians—and others—is nothing new. But now, human rights groups are trying to hold them accountable. They have called on the International Criminal Court, which has earlier issued arrest warrants for Vladimir Putin and Maria Lvova-Belova, to also investigate five Russian propagandists for hate crimes. For those not familiar with these personalities and some of their infamous rhetoric, we’ll introduce you to them here.

Vladimir Solovyov


Vladimir Solovyov is one of Russia’s most prominent television hosts and a key figure in the Kremlin’s propaganda web. He hosts several programs on the state-run channel Russia 1, where he promotes his authoritarian government’s ideology and discredits the opposition.  .  .


Margarita Simonyan


Margarita Simonyan is the editor-in-chief of RT (Russia Today) and Sputnik, two of the most influential state-funded propaganda outlets in Russia. RT has had major success reaching an international audience and specializes in spreading Russian lies to Western audiences.  .  .


Dmitry Kiselyov


If Simonyan is the tip of the spear, then Dmitry Kiselyov is the whole shaft. Kiselyov is the head of Rossiya Segondya, a state-owned media group, and the deputy director of All-Russia State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company—essentially running the show when it comes to state media.  .  .

The £51million aircraft was on the ground in Akhtubinsk military airfield in the Astrakhan region of southern Russia.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists

It's my understanding that Russia lost two of these.  They had eight operational.  Four were at this base.
