Perhaps what is most amazing and regretful about the current situation in Russia is the nearly complete absence of truth and objectivity in the mass media covering Ukrainian events. Lie upon lie — unprecedented in quantity and quite typically dismal in quality.
It looks like a full monopoly of the nationalist Great-Russia-style propaganda! Obviously those professionals engaged in it and their high-ranking customers do not realize that to be really good in this profession takes some real education, talent and charisma combined with at least a certain degree of sincerity — actually, much more of it than in the case of Dmitry Kiselev, our main TV newsmaker recently decorated by President Vladimir Putin.
These days in our country, the nick-name "a fascist" and its corresponding adjective lead the list of favorite terms in the political vocabulary. If not the Kremlin itself, then at least its unofficial spokespersons and sympathizers generously hurl these words at not only the Ukrainain but also Russian opposition and their intellectual vanguard.
