The Propaganda Machine: A Look Inside How Putin Deceives Millions of Russians

[@coldwar45]

Thanks for this explanation, and thanks again for opening an English version of this channel.

[@elibrod9981]

Yeah, welcome.., cause they ve ran out of Russians to listen to this nonsense

[@nan4001]

I wish you to extend your audience significantly. Your channel is worth watching.

[@dawiemos]

Like always. Excellent production! Thank you.

[@brentmihalovic5581]

Thanks for the info.

Keep up the good work, TV Rain

[@ritarossi1805]

Come può tv Rain essere un canale russo. Se tutti i canali russi sono censurati???

[@olddeuteranomaly5112]

@@ritarossi1805 TV Rain ("ДО///ДЬ") is independent. It is based outside Russia (in Amsterdam, I think), having effectively been blocked and banned in Russia shortly after the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.

[@antoneremenko9838]

Awesome, once again - glad you started separate editorial!)

[@gregdk3791]

It may explain the Russian populations utterly disgusting stance on the war, although I struggle accepting that an entire population can be so ignorant nowadays, but no amount of propaganda will excuse the Russian people's responsibility for the atrocities being committed in Ukraine. Ceterum censeo Putinem esse delendam.

[@MultiBenjaminking]

In Hungary we have the same, but inside the EU

[@gfan83]

Name me a country where there is no propaganda? It is really looks fun when one propagandist accusing someone other in propaganda.

[@Aussie-Mocha]

Thank you TVRain 🙏✊🏻 You guys are doing it tough but your work and messages to the world are extremely important!

[@rizzamaeong]

i think both sides have heavy propaganda. It is a war strategy. people should not be pro or anti. We all should want the war in Ukraine to end. Right now, at this very minute, humans are dying there. Humans - both Ukrainian and Russian.

[@Aussie-Mocha]

@@rizzamaeong 😞 if only the Regime elite in the Kremlin thought like you. Obviously, or rather, unfortunately, peace for all is not an obtainable reality

[@trartalacrem]

Media are one thing but what about education? What makes my brain bleed is to see how Staline is glorified in 2023. How many millions people he sent to Gulag, how many millions people he forcefully displaced like cattle? How is it possible that he is celebrated and that Russians forgot so quickly about the atrocities he committed. And when I see this compulsory "patriotic courses" at school with kids in military uniforms it makes me sick.

[@oneanywhere8561]

Centuries of negative selection when only loyal, gullible, and inane specimens had a better shot at leaving posterity have taken a toll on the nation.

[@live_free_or_perish]

I hope someday TV Rain will be back in Russia. Only then will we know that Russia can become a real democracy with a free press.

[@christianevanherck6023]

@John Town Nobody knows, it could also go fast. Lots of people thought the Soviet Union would never change. And then they fell apart like a house of cards and it all seemed so inevitable in retrospect.

[@trartalacrem]

@@christianevanherck6023 Absolutely; "Empires are colossus with foots made out of clay." .... something like that, did not read the quote in its original language... (I think it is from Hobes in "the leviathan" )

Western media Best in making propaganda

[@christianheyn]

One note: Kudos for your English reporting! Very gutsy and well done! May I be the language consultant for moment...'to occur' sounds like 'masseur' in French in the second vowel. 'Abroad' sounds like 'law' in the second vowel group. Best regards!

[@daviddogsbody]

1984 “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past” “War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. “

[@niklasnorberg5071]

Would be fun to se a similar clip about 70 years of western propaganda. Espessially last 10 years.😂

[@kristalkristal2506]

I recently checked the world bank's databank on the state of international development and found out that only 24 out of every 100 Russian households has an internet subscription. I imagine that most of those are in large city centers. Without an internet connection and a computer or smartphone, plus a VPN, it is difficult to find and access Russian language news sources that are not run by the state from within Russia, and very few Russians speak a foreign language. There are some on youtube, but the user would probably need to search for them to find them. It's quite pathetic, really. The rural people, grannies and grandpas who get confused about email and facebook in the west would be calling for the extermination of the Ukrainian people if they lived in Russia.

Thank you for this video, very informative.

So many parallels to another country’s media apparatus…

[@exdemafalda]

Thanks for your work for the peace. People should follow you and share your videos in the social media.

[@konspiracy9895]

That's funny. All examples of Russian TV I've seen are just Putin talking to a camera, not with any large cuts or voiceover commentary expressing extremely biased opinions as facts added in. You know, like OUR medias. Not that I'm really pro-Russia, but damn, this is the pot calling the kettle a nasty black slur.

[@stevebeer3324]

Maybe you should watch Russian Media Monitor,, a channel where Julia Davis puts out what Russian commentators are actually saying to their internal Russian audiences. Havent' heard the BBC saying that we should kill 10% of the Ukrainian population and imprison Ukrainian speakers, or that we should invade Poland/ Portugal/ Estonia/ Latvia/ Lithuania/ Germany /Paris...Paris? lately. Its all on Russian television, though they may have taken down the episode where an RT head (formerly Gay ,but now, strangely, aggressively anti gay) calls for Ukrainian children to be drowned in the river or set light to in their homes. Have a look....This is not the pot calling out the kettle, it is the pot calling out psychopathic demons from hell disguising themselves as just another kettle.

[@hemlyns9916]

For goodness' sake - your name in English is Rain TV, just like BBC TV.

[@gab363]

Great channel

[@StandingWithIsraeI]

Literally 1984

[@sunalwaysshinesonTVs]

Yeah, sure... however Russia's success on this front pales in comparison the America's effectiveness of winning support for the 2nd Iraq war. Hell.... there are Americans, STILL TO THIS DAY, that believe Saddam had WMDs.

[@roncollins1046]

As a daily reader and admirer of a number of Russian-opposition outlets during this war, I applaud this presentation, and find myself agreeing with many of its conclusions, at least about the domestic side of the Russian propaganda effort. BUT..... What it does not cover is the sharp distinction which must be made, between this kind of propaganda, and that which is aimed, largely via still more English-language outlets which are actually run by the Russian state, primarily at western audiences. This latter form of 'information war' must not be taken at face value as reflective, necessarily, of the ideas, values or intentions of the Kremlin state or its war effort. Trying to argue with it or 'debunk' it on this basis is a fools' errand, because for western audiences to do exactly this is the whole purpose of baiting them with something which is not really propaganda at all, but rather counter-intelligence research, a form of provocational opinion polling, if you will. The benefit to the Russian intelligence services to be derived from westward-aimed misinformation is that they are thus able to analyze and evaluate the readership, its reactions and counter-arguments, in comment sections, amateur-KZbinr react-videos and their comment sections, and the rich field of all the various forms of viewing data across all interactive media which such utter nonsense is designed to generate. In effect, if you are hoping to out-argue the Kremlin by reacting publicly to things it says in its English-language media, precisely for the purpose of gauging your reactions to it, you are essentially aiding and abetting Russian intelligence-gathering pursuits. You will have been made that thing which the Kremlin has made such effective utility of for so many decades by now, their useful idiot.

Ummm....the Russian Federation is Far Right, and it's no coincidence the US Far Right narrative is similar to Russian Propaganda..granted both sides have mouth pieces, but you're not even on the same planet comparing left wing media in the US to RT News, they're more like FOX, OAN than anything remotely left wing....ffs Tucker supports Russia
