completely in the whole. well, it would be naive to hope that the russian authorities will provide some, i don't know, sustainable information about the conflict. because russian authorities are usually manipulating the public opinion through russian state—owned or state—controlled media and now, during the war, they are doing it even more actively than previously. we have been observing huge pressure throughout the last yearfrom independent media. meduza in april 2021 was marked as a foreign agent in russia, and it was a very challenging time for our editorial staff and a lot of other media outlets were labelled as foreign agents.
and while you are travelling, ivan, can you still publish meduza? yes, sure, sure. you know, we have remote office, entirely remote office during the last two years as have many media outlets in the world, i guess, and meduza is based in riga, latvia, but it is a russian—speaking media outlet and probably the biggest russian independent media so far. and we work from so many cities, you know, from different countries. so, it is possible, yes. and in the week that has passed since this invasion happened, have you still been able to reach your audience in russia? yes. we are ok. unlike many of our colleagues. but we think that we are about to be blocked on the territory
certainly on this scale because it did not make any sense. it is hard to see how, as luke was saying, how russia ends up in anything other than a mich worse place at the end of this. and the same is true for putin. so we do struggle to understand what could possibly be motivating the decisions he is making now and, as a result, what will be motivating the decisions he is going to make in the future. he has made some robust threats about what he and the russian military might do going forward. so, unfortunately, we are left in similar ways to what i think roland and others were describing in the field, we are very much left in the dark trying to find some sense from little scraps of information and unable, really, to understand the big picture. ivan, i only have a minute left but i wonder if you think in one week's time you will still be able to publish meduza as you currently do? i don't think that we have much time left, to be honest. in the country.
>> it's a message to all of us around the world. we all have to look at our countries for what they are, and will have to hold our leaders to account and fight for free food press. we appreciate you've been doing that, ilya krasilshchik, the cofounder and former publisher of meduza. i want you to read his op-ed. it's quite hopeful about what russia could be if done right. much more ahead. stay with us. stay with us. h protein with 20 grams of protein for muscle health. versus 16 grams in ensure high protein. boost® high protein also has key nutrients for immune support. boost® high protein.

propaganda machine back home to spin it as a great victory. >> right. >> that seems to not be happening just yet. >> you quoted a person in your piece saying what putin fears is pro war protesters, that his audience, his public will demand the war to continue. that's a frightening concept. >> yeah, well, they've been for the last few months the russian propaganda machine has been training the russian public to want blood, now they want blood, they've been promised blood, promised total victory that they would defeat naziism in ukraine which is for a country that sees its role historically as having beaten autism in world war ii they see it as a sacred duty. why would you only go halfway if they're fighting nazis. >> you have been supportive of meduza. ivan, tell us why you needed support, why you needed donations. what happened in meduza when the war began that required to you
expected to press the government to do anything else? and i agree with ivan and i would actually reframe it, i would say, you know, it's not just donations, you're paying for a product. you need -- this is information that is vital, that is important, this is basically a subscription. this stuff can't be and shouldn't be done for free. these people should be paid to do the excellent work that they're doing. >> great point. >> again, i personally -- this is what i start my day with, this is what i finish my day with, this is my first stop to get information on what's happening in ukraine is meduza. >> what are you looking at this week as we see russian forces retreating, horrific images of mass graves and civilians shot in the streets. what are you looking for in this week ahead? >> i'm going to look to see how the international community responds because one of putin's goals has always been to show the hollowness and the hypocrisy of the western order, right, the u.s.-led order, and, you know, are there more sanctions? is the west going to continue buying russian oil and gas as
To watch news broadcasts of the fighting in Ukraine on the main state channels in Russia is to witness the extent of the Kremlin’s efforts to sanitize its war.
