The sixth day of the war. During the night I looked into the news channels of the Russian authorities, and nothing has changed: Ukraine is a Nazi state, the rest of the world has gone mad, but we will all heal. The amazing power of propaganda – no matter what is shown, how they explain it, you don’t believe anyone, they are all liars, only we understand, we see, we bring peace, we save, that’s why Ukrainians are waiting for us with flowers, but their army blows up their own bombs on the roadside, so that the Western news says that this is what Russia is doing. Absolutely incredible, there are no words to describe this absurdity. Now Russia wants to pay 95 euros to the families of a fallen soldier, isn’t that absurd? A human life is cheap for them, that is a centuries-old tradition. And it’s not going to change anytime soon. Some say they also faced expressions of hatred in Riga, triggered by the Ukrainian flag on their clothes. It seemed to me that all these people would have gone into hiding, but no, they are still barking. One tells that several Russians have been going to the gym with him for years, but there was never any talk about politics, but now finally there is a reason and here comes the shock – 8 out of 10 are for Putin. The arguments are the same as in the Russian news channels. Where does that come from? Meanwhile, Russia has blocked the last alternative information channels, Dozhd and Echo Moskvi. Yesterday I was optimistic, today I don’t know.
1. marts 2022
Sestā kara diena. Naktī ieskatījos Krievijas varas ziņu kanālos, nekas nemainās: Ukraina ir nacisms, pārējā pasaule nojūgusies, bet mēs visus izārstēsim. Pārsteidzošais propagandas spēks – lai ko rādītu, kā skaidrotu, nekam neticēs, visi meļi, tikai mēs saprotam, redzam, miera nesēji, glābjam, tāpēc ukraiņi mūs ar ziediem gaida, bet viņu armija pašus uzkraiņus spridzina, lai rietumu ziņās pastāstītu, ka to Krievija dara. Pilnīgi neticami, trūkst vārdu, lai šādu absurdu aprakstītu. Tagad Krievija maksāšot savām ģimenēm, kurā būs kritis zaldāts pa 95 eiro, vai nav absurds? Lēta gan viņiem cilvēka dzīvība, tādas tās gadsimtu tradīcijas. Un tik ātri nemainīsies. Daži stāsta, ka arī Rīgā tomēr nācies saskarties ar naida izpausmēm, ko izraisījis Ukrainas karodziņš pie apģērba. Šķita jau, ka visi šitie nolīduši pagrīdē, bet nē, vēl rej. Kāds stāsta, ka sporta zālē kopā ar viņu jau gadiem vairāki krievi nāk, bet nekad nav bijušas sarunas par politiku, tad beidzot ir iemesls un iestājas šoks – 8 no 10 par Putinu. Argumenti visi tie paši, kas Krievijas ziņu kanālos. No kurienes tas? Tikmēr Krievijā nobloķēja pēdējos alternatīvās informācijas kanālus – Dozhd un Echo Moskvi. Vēl vakar biju optimists, šodien jau nezinu.
