Re: Russia is gone
well, I miss it too, though in my neck of the woods, propaganda went the other way of course, i.e. West = good, Russia = bad. Though on China the message was pretty much the same (they're commies, like us, but wtf are they REALLY doing out there?!). Unofficially we believed that, in general, the opposite is true (West = good Russia = bad. Then, the West got demythologised, but hey, look here, Russia is still bad, some simple truths are... universal, eh?! :(
btw, regardless of how bad Russia is (and it is bad), the amount of anti-Russian propaganda in western mass-media is staggering. I get it, it's only partly encouraged (rally around the flag, us v. them, etc.,), and in general it's just lazy media, pick an easy target, paint with a broad stroke, etc., but I find it's turned into a joke, when everything is becoming Russians' fault...
