Further, we see recurring confusing messages claiming Navalny was not poisoned, or that…

Russia will continue to strengthen its military power in the European direction. In the immediate region of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, the balance of military power is tilted in favour of Russia. For example, not a single NATO member anywhere in Europe has missile systems comparable to the Iskander short range ballistic missiles, which Russia has placed close to the Estonian and Lithuanian borders. Globally, there are many regions where Russia…

Each time this was done through old films about the Second World War, through the edification of personalities and of course, through Soviet monuments found both in the localities of the Republic of Moldova and in the former Soviet socialist countries. The old monuments of the communist regime have always been the subject of propaganda for the pro-Kremlin press. Thus, Russia’s media representations did not miss a chance to accuse some countries of Russophobia…
